Big, Bold, and Beautiful With a desire to find bold vintage rugs in varying sizes for her home on Wadmalaw Island, this homeowner contacted Zuma to assist in sourcing authentic products.

owcountry homeowner Hailey was looking for unique vintage rugs with interesting designs and unusual colors for spaces throughout her home. With specific sizes and designs in mind, Hailey called upon the team at Zuma to source the rugs for her home. Hailey’s initial question for Elyse and Zuhal, owners of Zuma, was if they preview the home and sample rugs in order to see if they fit for the spaces. Luckily for her, this is common practice at Zuma. “We work with interior designers on a daily basis and love helping them find rugs for their projects,” Elyse says. “Hailey does her own design

so we worked with her directly on selecting rugs for her beautiful home.” The process from that initial conversation was pretty simple. Hailey sent Elyse and Zuhal her dimensions and what rug styles and colors she prefers; the ladies proceeded to load up their amazing options and headed to Hailey’s home for some trial and error. Together, they went through the selections for each room to find the perfect fit. Hailey also visited the Zuma warehouse in Mt. Pleasant to view their entire collection.
