As the weather gets cooler, the feeling of a soft, warm, snuggly rug on your feet will begin to feel like heaven, so it's time to ask yourself what you want on your floor this winter. Why not escape the lure of Ikea in favour of some original floor art that will make your living room the envy of all your friends?
You could always put this year's big crochet trend to full use and make a ripple rug. These can be made in as many or as few colours as you like, so yours could match your furniture perfectly. There's a really simple pattern for making ripple rugs here
Rag rugs will never truly go out of style, they're a great way of recycling old textiles and they're so easy to make. If you'd like to have a go at making one, there's a nice little tutorial here from Vintage Chica.
