First of all, there’s no wrong way to style a Jonathan Adler rug. In fact, with patterns that scream, “look at me,” and colors that seem to jump out of the floor, these rugs hardly need anything else to pop. BUT, if you’re like Jonathan Adler, potter, artist, and world-renowned designer whose name is synonymous with modern American glamour, you probably aren’t one to leave a rug this gorgeous unaccompanied. For him, more is definitely more.
“As a decorator, I’m a maximalist,” Jonathan explains. “I love posh, bold, modern American glamour. I mix and match my colors and patterns with abandon.”
But mixing and matching decor pieces is more than just putting design elements together. It’s both art and science. “Mixing and matching in your house is kind of a varsity endeavor,” he says. “There are rules. Always think about scale and proportion, and always have a variety of gestures.”
