Blue Parakeet Rugs Featured on the Cover of New Book, Midcentury Modern Style

You may remember seeing the colorful bungalow of our client Melissa and the beautiful 1920s Heriz in her living room featured in Dwell Magazine. Well, now it’s also on the cover of a new book! The definitive tome, Midcentury Modern Style: An Approachable Guide to Inspired Rooms by Karen Nepacena with photography by Christopher Dibble, is available to pre-order right now ahead its November 2023 publication.

There’s simply nothing like seeing one of our treasures be elevated like this, and we can’t wait to put this book on display on every coffee table in sight! It’s also wonderful to see old rugs being showcased in the ever-popular Midcentury context by such a skilled and playful designer. As Karen expertly demonstrates in the cover photo, the pattern and color in vintage Persian rugs is a perfect complement to the clean lines and muted tones of Midcentury furnishings, which can risk making a space look too much like a time capsule unless modern or Old World elements are thoughtfully included.

Midcentury Modern Style is definitely the most anticipated new release here at Blue Parakeet Rugs. If you’d like a sneak peek, you can get all the info on the upcoming drop on Amazon and soon be able to pick up the book at a local bookstore near you.
