See Why Professional Interior Designers recommend AZADI Fine Rugs as your trusted resource for exquisite fine rugs:
Janet Brooks/Janet Brooks Design: Designing your home around your taste can be challenging. That’s why Scottsdale Interior Designer Janet Brooks recommends, “Starting from the ground up.” She regularly selects fine area rugs from AZADI Fine Rugs, which is her favorite place to do area rugs because “They have the best quality and are impeccable with their service to my clients which is the most important thing.” Janet says, “Start at the floor and build up from the floor, this is our design foundation. Pick a rug….and invest in a really nice rug. I love to see the excitement in my client’s eyes when they find that rug they really love. If I take my client to AZADI and they see a rug and fall in love with that rug and say they can envision that in their house then I know we have the signature statement piece and it all goes from there…then it’s on to fabric, paint, and accessories.”

Susie Hersker/Design Directives: Susie loves timeless and classic design, and recommends four ways to use area rugs in the design of your room: 1) Choose handwoven rugs that are classic in design so that when you change your motif or furniture, your rugs will carry over into the new look, 2) For a contemporary look that highlights your art collection, choose textural rugs that create a neutral background and “make a quiet statement in the room”, 3) To complement your art collection, choose rugs that create movement and replicate the feel of the art pieces, 4) To create a room w/ vivid color, bring in color with the rug and accent it w/ bold accessories and mixed textures.

Debbie Samartzis/Samartzis Design: Scottsdale Interior Designer Deborah Samartzis from Samartzis Minchew Design, likes to achieve the “WOW” factor in Interior Design. Debbie works with each and every client to make their home as unique as possible. It is her trained eye that allows her to create a certain aesthetic using furniture, accessories, and rugs, while incorporating the homeowners cherished belongings, including their art collections. In the photo below, Debbie used this striking black and white rug from AZADI Fine Rugs in Scottsdale to help create movement and energy while adding pops of color to the room using accessories. Debbie says, “It is relationships with reliable vendors, like AZADI, that help her to find the perfect rug to create aesthetic appeal and enhance the homeowner’s art.”

Tanya Shively/Sesshu Design: Tanya recognizes the importance of healthy and “green” design. Growing up in Jackson Hole surrounded by nature, along with her awareness of how building and design products can affect our health, Tanya makes it a priority to source out design products that are made w/o chemicals. This includes rugs. Tanya recommends softening hard surfaces w/ area rugs that are handwoven and made w/ natural fibers such as silk and wool. Not only are they beautiful, but they are also “durable and easy to clean.”

So you’re ready to begin that design project in your new home but where do you start?
With all the choices available in furniture, fabric, and color, and accessories, this process can be overwhelming. There are two pieces of advice that AZADI offers.
- First, hire a professional Interior Designer. In today’s ever-changing market, your professional Interior Designer is prepared more than ever before to simplify your life and assist you in furnishing your home. There are many professional Interior Designers willing to work you whether it is on one room or your entire home. You will be surprised how little it actually costs to hire a designer and how much time and money they can save you. At AZADI we have compiled a list of professional interior designers that are able to meet your design needs and style, whether they are contemporary, transitional, Southwest, or traditional. For a complimentary consultation to match you with an interior designer, call AZADI Fine Rugs at (480) 483-4600.
- The second piece of advice is, start from the bottom up. Shopping for area rugs can inspire you with a much larger jumping-off point. Looking at a room-sized rug can help you visualize pattern and color and the design you are seeking to create. Buying a rug will also get you excited and give you instant gratification because you can select it in the gallery and take it home (this is a service AZADI offers to you). Instead of shopping from a small fabric sample, you can be inspired by the rug and select furniture and other accessories for the room. There is a certain science that goes into rugs; material, knot-count, age, quality, pigment, size. Choose your rug dealer carefully, one that is a trusted and knowledgeable resource like AZADI Fine Rugs.
Many Interior Designers believe that a beautiful hand-woven rug can be the basis of their design plan. As we say at AZADI Fine Rugs, the rug is The Foundation for Fine Living.
