Designing rugs with Jenny Jones

April 6, 2017

The design story

As a designer I am always looking for ways to make my clients homes more beautiful. Rugs are an important element of the design story, bringing texture, comfort, colour and beauty to a space. They ground a room and help anchor key pieces of furniture and lighting.

Creating the palette

Recently, I had the pleasure of working with Jenny Jones on rugs for an interiors fit-out in a riverside suburb of Perth. Working with the fabrics and finishes chosen for the interiors, we selected a combination of wool and silk poms to create a beautiful custom palette for the ‘Parchment’ rug design.

Visualising the result

The poms were dropped into a computer-rendered image of the rug so we could see how the design would appear. We could also play with the colour proportions, colour intensity and silk/wool ratios to suit. I love how this technology can produce different results with just a few tweaks.

Same poms – 3 different looks.

Option 2proposal-old-swan-brewery

Option 3proposal-old-swan-brewery

The second option has just the right amount of light and shade for the room and is the perfect complement to the rest of the furnishings. I love how the pops of white contrast against the denim and petrolly blues. Small pockets of burnished gold bring warmth to the overall design. And we were able to adjust the levels of wool and silk to suit the client’s budget.

Choosing the right rug

Creating a custom rug is not as expensive as you may think, and can often work out cheaper than buying one off the floor. Buying any rug is an important investment decision, so it’s wise to take your time selecting the right tone, design and size for your space.

If you are interested in creating a bespoke rug for your interior, or need any advice about how to choose the right rug for your space, please give me a call. I’d be delighted to help.

Lovely to see our Swanbourne kitchen project in th Lovely to see our Swanbourne kitchen project in this month’s @homebeautiful magazine.  Our client commented ‘It feels rich and luxurious while also being warm and homely...modern but timeless, and the true heart of our home. It has transformed how we use our space.’  Thank you for the story @kyliejackes, photographer @gathering.light and all involved in this gorgeous project.
Monday in lock down. A week without site visits an Monday in lock down. A week without site visits and face to face meetings. It’s only 5 days but I’m going to spend every one of them getting creative while not rushing around. We spend so much time on the road, on sites, in client homes and on project management so it’s a great opportunity to not do that for a week. Just immerse in the creative elements of our projects.  Stay safe WA friends and clients. We’ll be back with you as soon as the advice allows.
Rested and ready to go, we’re thrilled to be bac Rested and ready to go, we’re thrilled to be back in the studio for 2021.  The calendar year flipping over came with no guarantees as to what the year ahead holds, but we’re going in smiling, grateful for the opportunity to work with a delightful group of new and existing clients on their renovation and interior furnishings projects, and see the fruits of new building partnerships started last year.  Designing beautiful spaces and seeing them through to the last detail of implementation is what we love most and do best. We can’t wait to deliver more of it in 2021.  Thanks to my lovely designer friend @emhannid for this shot 📸✨

And we are done! Thank you for your passionate sup And we are done! Thank you for your passionate support of design and the studio of Jane Ledger Interiors this year. We could never have imagined that out of a situation so dire, a surge in demand for renovation and beautiful home interiors would follow.  In one of our busiest and most challenging years yet, I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities we’ve been given to grow and strengthen. Thank you for entrusting us to transform your most precious spaces. The work of a designer is complex and detailed on any given day. But in this year it required even greater levels of organisation, compassion and honest communication. We built strong processes around us so we could continue to deliver exceptional outcomes to you.  We take these protocols into 2021 and our business model going forward.  Thank you to my clients for understanding these processes and trusting me to just get on and do it. You have helped grow my business beyond any of my expectations for 2020. Your graciousness and respect is what I remember most about the year that was.  Thanks also to our outstanding supply partners and trades who support the work we do. We absolutely couldn’t do it without you!  A final thank you to my gorgeous design assistant @jessicahopeinteriors who has supported the practice’s expansion in 2020 and brings joy to my working week.  Merry Christmas my lovely friends followers and supporters xx
