Rugs, key elements of
decoration , are a confirmed presence at
CASACOR shows. And this edition was no different: the pieces were featured in various
environments , with a focus on
living rooms . Thinking about the importance of this item, CASACOR's editorial team called on some of the architects from the
cast to answer the question:
how can rugs elevate the level of living room décor ? According to Cadé Marino, creator of
Estúdio Brisa do Norte , a
CASACOR Rio de Janeiro 2024 project, the texture of rugs can help create a
feeling of coziness in a space . "It breaks the coldness of the floor, making the space more welcoming and inviting," explains the architect.
Paulo Andrade, who together with Rafael Andrade presented Casa Rosemberg at
CASACOR Bahia 2024 , states that the
right choice of rug size, material,
colors and pattern of the piece is what makes it elevate the level of the environment. "The rug brings comfort, whether by
highlighting the furniture or by delimiting the spaces ". In the project created for the Bahian show, the architects opted for a rectangular rug made of natural fiber, which delimits the entire living area.

In Living Diálogos, designed by Fernanda and Bruna Milcent for the Bahian show, the rug chosen for the space was designed by the architects themselves. According to the
professionals , the lines and textures of the piece allowed them to add a relaxed touch to a classic
layout . "By overlapping different layers of patterns and textures that contrast subtly, we created a harmonious environment
that highlights each element ," says Bruna.
