Great rooms are created from the ground up- literally.

The floor is the foundation of any room and should act as both a decorative feature and the anchor for all the other elements in the room. The floor is your opportunity to give a face to a room. It can darken or lighten the atmosphere, bring reflective shine, or demarcate spaces. Floors bring pattern and texture to a room or help disguise awkward proportions. Stripes, for example can widen a long, narrow room.

Nothing warms up a room like a beautiful rug. A rug provides a visual footprint, a guide to how to use the space within a room. Rugs can draw people to a seating area, or indicate a pathway to another space. They are a means of not only adding warmth but bringing coherence to a space, to differentiate path from place.

Don’t underestimate the warmth that a beautiful rug will bring to completing your next project. And remember that your home should be as rich and varied as the life you live within it.
