MEET INTERIOR DESIGNER: AMHAD FREEMAN
Diversity in design opens up the design world to so many possibilities, sources of inspiration and unique points of view—things Freeman is passionate about. “The whole purpose of the showhouse was inclusion and celebrating designers of color, but to me that also meant focusing on broader inclusion and bringing more people into the story of design,” he says.

Designed by fashion-designer-turned-home-designer Brett Beldock, this neutral graphic rug is the perfect anchor for any room. Handloomed from soft viscose threads, then printed via a special process that creates variations in tone and color from rug to rug. Embroidered fringe is a design detail we love.
