Twice as Nice: Blue Parakeet Rugs Spotlighted Again in AD Pro’s Design Roundup

Architectural Digest Pro is back with more design inspiration from the 2025 Pasadena Designer House, rounding up “6 Brilliant Design Ideas Worth Revisiting From Decorator Show Houses This Season” by Alia Akkam. Of course, we only have eyes for our fave, Julia Chasman’s spectacular Pasadena Showcase House library, where one of our brightly hued Blue Parakeet Rugs plays beautifully in Julia’s maximalist cozy story.

AD Pro spotlights the space as the poster-child for the “brazen pattern” trend, praising Julia’s fearless mix of Delft-tiled fireplace, moody cherry-cola bookcases, and an amazing menagerie-print wallpaper. Anchoring it all is our jewel box of a rug. We’ve adored Julia’s vision for curating vintage pieces with rich textures and layered lighting, so it’s a thrill to see the design world still buzzing about her library months after the show house doors opened!

The piece also gives quick hits of other ideas worth tucking away: a neoclassical loggia that blurs indoors and out, a plywood desk that melts into the wall, and a bedroom crowned with a Murano-glass headboard. Each is fabulous fodder for your vision board, but—if we may say so—the magic happens when a daring rug sets the tone.

Dive into the full list over at AD Pro, and keep an eye on @juliachasmandesign (and @blueparakeetrugs) for more saturated palettes and the vintage textiles that bring them to life.
