A fabulous collection of period art pottery, antique furnishings—and new rugs in the Arts & Crafts tradition—lend a pedigree to a new house.

Don’t get hung-up on a familiar handful of hand-knotted designs by Morris and Stickley. You have many choices, including hand-tufted, flat-weave, Caucasian, and Mexican rugs. In fact, few things will give you as much pleasure as choosing carpets for your home.

In this chapter, you'll also find period textiles that add color, pattern, and texture to rooms inspired by the original Arts & Crafts movement.

Carpets and rugs, fabrics, pillows and bedding, curtains and shades, table linens and more: here are the best historical and revival-style soft furnishings for your home.
