From Showroom to Monument: Choosing the Perfect Rug for a Historic Home
Rugs do more than warm up a space — they anchor the design, set the tone, and add layers of texture and style.
Join Den Cralle of Green Front Furniture and Avery Frank Designs as they navigate the art of rug selection for 2315 Monument Avenue, a Mediterranean Revival gem designed by architect William Bottomley.
Starting at Green Front’s expansive rug showroom in Farmville, Virginia, they sift through hundreds of hand-knotted rugs — from bold statements to timeless classics — in search of the perfect fit. Then it’s back to Richmond, where a few carefully chosen pieces begin to shape the vision for this historic home’s interiors.
This is where the design journey truly begins — from the ground up.
