ABC Carpet & Home in NYC sent us a notice about their new rug concept called Color Reform.
It’s a brilliant idea and the carpets are stunning. They are taking old worn out carpets, neutralizing the color and dyeing them with an over-saturated color, like the fuchsia above.
The carpets were unusable vintage rugs – unusable because the color had worn out in spots, not because the carpets themselves were worn. Which means the new versions can be used on a wall or a floor. (I checked this and was very pleased to find out that they could still be on a floor.) I would love to have the lime one above in my dining area.
The previous pattern is still peaking through the color saturation, like history winking through.
The prices start at $799, which I can’t make a comment on as I don’t know rug prices. At the end of the day the value comes from whether you love the piece or not and think it’s worth it.
