Calgary Reception Area | Size Shown: 8x10 ft
This reception area, located in Calgary, called for a space that felt calm, refined, and confident — a setting where first impressions matter. The client wanted a rug that could ground the room, elevate the design, and add subtle sophistication without overwhelming the space. The answer? Illuminate — one of Indo Designer Rugs’ most sought-after bestsellers.
Room Overview
This beautifully composed office lounge/reception space follows a modern minimalist aesthetic with a strong sense of balance and harmony.
This environment needed a rug that could quietly tie together the elements, soften the space, and make the room feel complete.
Why We Recommended Illuminate?

What makes Illuminate so unique — and why we recommended it for this project — is its remarkable versatility, both in style and tone.
Color Range That Works Anywhere: With its black border and center featuring ivory, cream, blue, and gold silk embossing, Illuminate is a rare design that fits just as beautifully in a minimalist space as it does in a maximalist one.
Perfect for Any Light Setting: The bold edges offer contrast in brighter rooms, while the luminous silk tones reflect and catch natural light. In darker spaces, the black framing adds structure, and the gold and cream hues bring warmth and lift.
Modern Classic Appeal: While inspired by celestial forms, the overall design feels timeless — sophisticated, balanced, and never trendy.
Light Interaction: As the light shifts throughout the day, the silk embossing catches and reflects it differently, giving the rug a living, ever-changing quality.
Customer Favorite: Illuminate remains one of our top-selling rugs, loved by clients for its ability to adapt, enhance, and complete a wide variety of interiors.
