Flokati rugs were white-hot from the’60s and’70s, but they’ve style and staying power that’s carried them beyond the Brady Bunch years. These luxuriant floor coverings feel yummy against your toes on a winter day, and they’re able to instantly warm up an austere area or put in a funky notice to a traditional one. They’re the merest bit over-the-top, yet flexible enough to slip into a roomful of dignified antiques.
Authentic flokati rugs are traditionally handwoven of wool in Greece, then soaked in water to fluff up the fibers. But there are also a good deal of flokati-style floor coverings in the marketplace offering as much punch. Take a look at the ideas below — which ones catch your imagination?
