David Shaw (pictured left) and Jesse Brettin launched
The Modern Rug Store online in December of 2011. They sell a hand-picked selection of area rugs from leading vendors like Nourison, Calvin Klein and Oriental Weavers in addition to products from innovative eco-friendly rug manufacturer Anji Mountain.
Not only does The Modern Rug Store sell great stuff at great price points - they'll even give you a discount for reading this profile!
As for what sets The Modern Rug Store apart, David says, "It's great stuff
at a great price. We sell for as low our vendors will allow. And instead
of filling a site with thousands of rugs from our vendors for you to
sift through, we've selected those that fit our brand and your budget.
We've also created a series of video buying guides with a local designer
from a cable network show to help shoppers learn more about rugs and
feel more confident of their purchases."
Shoppers on a budget might be interested in The Modern Rug Store's High/Low Project, in which David and Jesse show how to achieve a look for less by offering affordable options to expensive rugs.
"Like most shoppers in this economy, our tastes are bigger than our wallets," says David. "We shop the big names like Room and Board, Design Within Reach, but sometimes the prices are a bit much to take, so we've created a high/low comparison feature on our design blog to show you how to save money while achieving the same look."
Among their most popular items are their paper shag rugs. Says David,
"They're
a very contemporary design with an eco edge to them. The Anji Mountain
Bamboo company makes a variety of innovative eco-friendly rugs. Last
year they introduced the Silky Shag rug - it's made from rayon that was
manufactured from bamboo! This year they just introduced the Paper Shag
rug. The primary ingredient (50%) is recycled paper. I know that sounds
delicate, but these are durable rugs - think how durable paper money is,
then add in other strong yet soft fibers"
