The Essence of Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen Design

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, known for his bold maximalist vision, brings his signature sense of theatre and sophistication to the Imperial collection. His philosophy celebrates luxury, individuality, and expression, transforming interior spaces into reflections of artistry and personality.

Maximalism is about more than ornamentation — it’s about character, depth, and storytelling. It invites pattern, texture, and emotion into design, creating interiors that feel curated and meaningful rather than minimal or restrained.

The Imperial Pearl Grey Rug embodies this concept, blending intricate design heritage with contemporary materials for a statement piece that radiates elegance and modern refinement.

Design Inspiration and Detailing

Drawing inspiration from classic damask motifs, long associated with nobility and fine craftsmanship, the Imperial range reinterprets this historic pattern for today’s interiors. Laurence’s use of metallic yarns, soft-touch polyester, and layered tones transforms a timeless design into a modern work of art.

Design Highlights:

• Pattern: Traditional damask reimagined with soft metallic threads and a contemporary tonal palette.

• Colour Scheme: Harmonious layers of Pearl Grey, Blush, Gold, and Taupe, creating warmth and sophistication.

• Texture: A smooth, short 1 cm pile that feels luxuriously soft underfoot, enhanced by delicate light reflection.

🧵 Cut Pile Rug Characteristics
Every rug has a pile direction — the direction in which the fibres run. With a cut pile rug with a shimmer, light reflects off the fibres differently, which can make the rug appear lighter or darker depending on where you are standing. You can see this by looking at the rug from one end of the room, then walking to the other end and looking back — it may appear darker in one direction and lighter in the other. This is not a manufacturing fault but a natural characteristic of cut pile rugs. It’s worth keeping in mind when deciding where to place the rug, especially if the appearance of it being lighter or darker from one side might matter in your space. This effect is in ranges such as Aurora, Craft, and Apollo.
