Happy 2017 to you all as we kick off another year of interior design inspiration! There are a few changes headed to the blog, which I'll be sharing more of soon, but today I wanted to kick off the year's first post with an interior design post.

Any coastal, beach loving person typically has a love of all things navy blue. Navy exudes the color of the ocean, and today as I share some beautiful navy rugs with you, I want you to imagine a navy blue rug as a grounding piece to a room.

It's easy to fall into using natural area rugs in a coastal design (and always a beautiful, classic option), but if you're looking for something a little different, but still classic, here are some options to inspire you with a full design idea at the end. For other options beyond navy rugs, browse HERE.

With a little home updating in the works for our living room and entryway, I've been browsing around for the perfect rug (this one is a major contender!). As much as I love my coastal striped rugs and natural sisal or jute rugs, I have an absolute LOVE for a unique traditional rug - my favorite is a balouch (or baluch) rug, like this one in our kitchen.

Now, I'll be the first to admit that when I was growing up I did not appreciate the beauty of these rugs. Thankfully since then, I've found my way. They are truly a work of art and add a ton of character and personality to a room!

If you're looking for the perfect traditional rug for your home with a bit of a boho, coastal, Pacific Northwest kind of vibe, one of the following may be a good option for you. Remember you can always search for the specific size you need and the type of rug (such as balouch, kilim, heriz, serapi, etc.)

It never hurts to check eBay, your local craigslist, or etsy for the occasional unique find, but below I've listed some rugs I love from places that you will find unique, one of a kind rugs consistently.
