Our Favorite Décor from The Vintage Rug Shop
We have been following The Vintage Rug Shop on Instagram for awhile now, and we love everything that’s posted! Since 2015, designer and curator Brittany Chinaglia of Britt Interiors has been selling one-of-a-kind vintage rugs online & she recently opened her brick-and-mortar shop in Oakland, California – which we can’t wait to visit the next time we’re in Northern California! In the meantime, we just spend hours browsing her online store!
One of our favorite design tips is to incorporate both high and low price points, as well as new and antique/vintage pieces to create a balanced design that feels timeless, lived in, and cozy. The Vintage Rug Shop sources handmade goods and one-of-a-kind textiles from all over the world – hand-chosen by Brittany herself. From colorful pieces to neutral décor, we can't get enough of the stunning vintage rugs, pillows, and their recently launched artwork collection! We also adore the blankets (perfect for the foot of your bed) & tabletop accessories! While pricey, these items are one-of-a-kind and a great way to start a collection in your home that you and your family can pass down for years to come!

Block print lumbar pillow from the vintage rug shop - $115

This extra-large lumbar pillow originated in Thailand and featured a brown, ivory, and taupe batik print. Since this vintage pillow is 14" x 34", we recommend placing it in front of throw pillows on your bed in lieu of a bolster – or on a large sofa!

This 100% cotton handmade blanket from Morocco features adorable pom pom tassels & it will definitely a nice cozy, eclectic accent to your bedroom! The greige tone is also very versatile & goes with a mix of neutral and colorful décor with both cool and warm undertones.

Escapist “Santorini” Candle from The Vintage Rug Shop - $38

“Hawk” 3’x9’ Runner from The Vintage Rug Shop - $3,500
After a recent clumsy mistake in the kitchen, one of our editors broke an entire bottle of wine that spilled all over her kitchen runner… so she’s in the market for a new one. While we wouldn’t recommend a stunner like this in an accident-ridden space, this would make a statement in a hallway!

A blanket at the end of the bed really finishes the styling of a room. This Moroccan 100% cotton handmade blanket with 100% wool pom poms is just what you need to take your bedroom from blah to serene!
