At their sprawling head office and design studio, Kirsten and Moji Korhani, owners of titan rug company Korhani of Canada, welcome us with the effortlessly chic flair reserved for the jetset glitterati: a kiss on each cheek and the best coffee and danishes in town. Tomorrow, Moji and Kirsten, who’s also the company’s creative director, are flying to Paris for Maison et Objet (an international decor show), but today they’re meeting with editor-in-chief Erin McLaughlin to unveil and make the final selections of Style at Home’s nouveau rug designs. "It's going to be impossible to make a decision," says Erin, weaving through – and gushing over – a half-dozen or so stunning motifs spread neatly across the showroom floor, from oversized florals to gorgeous geometrics in a range of neutrals with punches of red.


Meet the Korhani duo Korhani of Canada owners Kirsten and Moji Korhani posing in front of a striking backdrop – the Dalila rug in grey/beige, one of two brand-new motifs by the Style at Home and Korhani design teams.

 

Envisioned and sketched by the Style at Home team, the designs were beautifully brought to life by the pros at Korhani. "I'm just so thrilled," Erin says. And thrilling is the perfect word to describe the collaboration between the Korhani and Style at Home design teams, who worked together seamlessly from the start – the magazine being the authority on fashionable homes, and Korhani being an expert at bringing affordable style to the floor.



Designing the rugs Kirsten and Erin review some bold, botanical prints that bridge the gap between art nouveau and art deco.
Choosing colours Kirsten and Erin worked with different combinations of neutrals, like creams, greens, greys, beiges and greiges, but always knew they wanted to offer a striking red option as well.

 

Dalila rug There's no repeat on the striking print of our Dalila rug -- the graphic pattern engages the eye without overwhelming it. It's an oversized mural-like motif that doesn't consume the room.
