Contemporary Rugs - How to Choose a Rug For Your Home

Choosing a contemporary rug for your home can sometimes appear a little daunting given the huge variety of products available on the market today, however with a little forethought to your purchase you can narrow things down a little by having clear idea of what you want.

Organic Wool Duvet

Things to consider before making your purchase are all fairly straight forward but will make life easier if you consider them first. For starters what size rug do you require? What colour rug do you require? Do you want your rug to be a feature or make a bold statement or do you require a more neutral or muted rug? What practical restraints are there? If you have children and dogs then maybe a pure white dry clean only rug is not the way forward. How durable do you require it be? Do you want to go with manmade synthetic fibres or do you want to invest in a rug with a little more quality made from natural fibres? Are you interested in a traditional or contemporary rug or a hybrid mix of both? Considering all these aspects before you commence shopping will give you a clearer idea of what to look for, and make it easier to narrow down your searches.

Organic Wool Duvet

If your are particularly fashion conscious then you may want to look into things in more detail then maybe peruse through some textiles magazines there's plenty out there but Selvedge magazine appears to be the most popular, and its a fantastic resource for getting good ideas.

Rug manufacturers have for some time been combining traditional and contemporary designs so you no longer have to trade off one for the other. It is now very possible and desirable to obtain a rug that is contemporary in design but made using traditional methods with that added benefit of being both ethical and sustainable.

Remember that a well placed rug can really bring a touch of style and art to your home, it's these finishing touches that can change a space from a boring room lacking in character and definition into a truly unique and beautiful contemporary living space. Use your rug to bring the tone to the room that your require, if your room is bright and cluttered then use a neutral colour to tone it down, if your going for a modern contemporary look then you can use your rug as a feature possibly theme it with a feature wall or similarly coloured vase or planter. Most of all have fun with it and create a positive space, after all you live here.

As always the internet is a good place to start, use a search engine to browse around, compare prices, styles and get a feel for what's available. Try to narrow down your searches by including details about the kind of rug you are looking for, if you just search "rugs" then you are going to get about 48,300,000 results to trawl through so if you know that you specifically want a pink 100% wool rug the search for that. When you spot something that you like, don't forget to bookmark the page so that you can find it again easily later.

Don't rush your choice have a good look around compare shipping prices (a lot of websites offer free shipping now) if you see a rug you like and require more information or want to see more pictures email the seller and ask, try and choose a rug that is appropriate for the space you are putting it in as opposed to just buying the first thing you like and then realizing it clashes with your furniture.

Creating an Eco-Friendly Room in Your Home

We live in an age of global warming and worry about green house gases. Now, more than ever, people are going 'green' and attempting to improve our environment. Home décor is also going green, and if you are one of the many that wish to take a conservational attitude one step further, you may wish to create an eco-friendly space in your home.

Organic Wool Duvet

Many people do not realize that there are now lines of eco-friendly paint. Zero VOC (volatile organic compounds) paint does not include the solvents that other paints have. The VOC solvents in paint are what have been proven as a cause in the diminution of our ozone layer. Not only environmentally toxic, VOC paints have a harsh odor that fills up your home as you use them. Zero VOC paint comes in a limited amount of colors that emphasize earth friendly tones. Choose a muted 'earth' color if you favor taupe or 'air' colors if blues are a favorite.

Organic Wool Duvet

Bringing your floor up to eco-friendly speed is easy with a sea grass area rug. This super durable rug is all natural and not created with some of the same harsh chemicals of other flooring. Tan in color, sea grass area rugs can have a cotton border in a contrasting taupe color and are usually backed with latex foam to avoid movement on the floor. Although they aren't your softest area rug, they are resistant to stains and easy to clean. Sea grass rugs are also great for those with allergies, as they woven tightly and don't retain dander.

Lately it's hard to turn on a TV and not hear about 'environmentally-friendly' fabrics. Materials such as hemp, wool, organic cotton, and certain types of silk are all the rage and easy to incorporate into your room. A quick way to utilize organic cotton is to purchase enough to make slipcovers for your throw pillows. If the cotton is not quite the right color? Try tea staining. Boil tea bags or leaves and place the cotton in the pot. Remove after 10 minutes and you will have a lovely shade that was obtained naturally without chemicals. Contrast your throw pillows with silk drapes and you will have a stunning effect in your space.

Purchasing accessories for the room is generally where you break the bank, right? Not true. Saving a metal bucket from the garbage dump and turning it into a vase is as simple as cleaning it up and adding some eye-catching raffia or jute as a decorative ribbon. Previously loved books can be stacked artfully or used as bookends. Take someone's previously loved cast offs and transform them into treasure. Not only will you save them from a landfill, but also will be giving your home some simple pieces that can be stunning.

One of the most important keys to an eco-friendly room? Fill your space with plants. Live plants provide oxygen to your environment, and can filter the area of toxins. Plants can make a room seem cozy, and they are pleasing to look at. Investing in live plants can be an inexpensive way to complete your room.

Whether you are just beginning to become environmentally aware or are a long time promoter of recycling, creating a room in your home that promotes this life style is as simple as focusing on natural materials. You will enjoy your room for years to come, and feel happy knowing that you didn't contribute to further waste in a landfill.

Choosing the Best White Bath Rug - Everything You Need to Know

Currently, there are already many different bath rugs available in the market. The selection ranges from different colors, styles, patterns, and materials. This is why it can actually be difficult to choose the best bath runner for your bathroom.

Organic Wool Duvet

Color is an important factor that most people heavily consider when choosing the best bath rugs for their bathroom. Commonly, neutral colors like black and white are a great choice as these colors can easily complement other décor in a room.

Organic Wool Duvet

A white bath rug can be a pure and simple selection that you can choose for your lavatory. This can be a bold selection as most of the time, people think that white bath rugs easily get discolored and are hard to maintain.

The discoloration and the damage of a white bath rug in truth depend on different factors. Knowing how to choose the best white mat for your bathroom will help you evade these unwanted factors and let your white rug look as good as new throughout time.

In choosing quality mats, you need to consider the type of material used in the creation of the rug. Pure cotton or a combination of cotton and wool or any other natural and sustainable material is a good choice as these types of materials are easy to clean and maintain.

Avoid rugs made from artificial supplies since one does not know what type of chemicals is used to create the materials for the rug. These chemicals may inadvertently trigger or worsen allergies.

Choose a mat that absorbs moisture well and is mildew resistant. Also make sure that it provides a warm and comfortable feeling that contrasts well from the cold bathroom floor.

Make sure the lavatory mat you will be choosing is not slick and it attaches to the bathroom floor securely. A rug in which bunches up under your feet is an accident in waiting. You can choose rugs that have gripping at the bottom to ensure that you do not slip but some rugs that do not have gripping, usually reversible ones, are still stable enough and are safe to use.

Choosing the best white bath rug for your bathroom can take a sizable amount of time and effort considering the availability of different types and designs in the market. Moreover, following this guide can help save frustration in picking out the best bathroom rug for your very own bathroom.

Basic Design For Children's Rooms

Designing your own room is one thing, but designing your child's room is a whole new task. Children's tastes can be very unpredictable, and your job is to find a theme that can suit their changing moods. Often, the task proves costly and time-consuming.

Organic Wool Duvet

So how do you decorate your child's room? First of all, don't think of it as a daunting task-consider it a chance to show your playful side. With a few good ideas, you can turn your child's room into a personal haven while barely breaking a sweat. Read on to find out how.

Organic Wool Duvet

Let them decide. Allow your child, with a little guidance, to decide on room colors, curtain designs, and other accessories. If you can't agree on a wall color, here's what you can do: use their chosen color on two opposite walls, and paint the rest in a neutral or contrasting shade. You can also use beige area rugs or other accessories muted shades. This lets you both have your way without sacrificing room aesthetics.

Give it a function/s. For children, bedrooms are more than a place to sleep. Some use it as a playroom, others as a study area, others as a place to entertain their friends. The best setup for a growing child is a multi-functional room that accommodates all their interests. Use area rugs to define areas in the room. Kids area rugs now come in various designs, so let them take their pick.

Splurge on storage. Kids tend to have a lot of stuff, so storage is essential to their room design. But plain old storage will not do; you need accessible storage that your child can organize on his own. Avoid shelves and cabinets more than one foot taller than your child-chances are they won't be using the top levels much. For toys, large floor baskets are usually a better choice. Place some braided area rugs under them to add color and make storing toys seem less like a task.

Choose furniture wisely. The main pieces of furniture for a child's room are a bed, desk, side table, and a closet or dresser. Chances are they'll need more furniture as they grow up, so don't fill the room just yet. Focus on getting safe and durable pieces that will last hours and hours of play. Instead of upholstery, consider using slipcovers for the seating. This makes cleaning up spills a lot simpler, and lets you change the colors according to your child's tastes.

Put safety first. Safety should always be on top of your list when it comes to decorating your child's bedroom. Carpeting is the best protection against falls and bumps, especially for toddlers. As they get more coordinated, you can move on to smaller area rugs that suit their own tastes. Make sure all the furniture is firmly installed, and keep all electrical outlets out of reach. If your child is prone to allergies, avoid synthetic fabrics-wool area rugs and organic cotton drapes are usually the safest bets.

Luxury Loungewear - Feel Relaxed, Happy, Stylish Yet Comfortable

Luxury Loungewear is something you can never have enough of. It's great to get home after a hard days work or a trip to the gym and change into clothing that makes you feel relaxed, happy, stylish yet comfortable. There are lots of styles and collections out there but it is best to work with brands that offer styles that can be mixed and matched depending on one's mood, or activity. The key to luxury loungewear is to remember that it is all about you, it needs to be soft, feminine and luxury for the ultimate lounging experience.

Organic Wool Duvet

Since the growth in the loungewear sector over the past 5 years, loungewear is no longer something that needs to stay behind closed doors. Find the right style and it's perfect for yoga, long haul travel, or just relaxing weekends in the country.

Organic Wool Duvet

One key item of loungewear that are worth the investment are pyjamas. These again can be cast as being unfashionable and definitely not glamorous when they are made from man-made fabrics with garish colours and pink trims. Instead look for ranges in fabrics such as basic cottons or luxury modal jerseys, choose soft neutral colours and relaxed styles.

As life becomes more frenetic, relaxation time should be treasured and is worth putting in as much effort as you would a night out. Loungewear is perfect for when you are relaxing at home but still want to look effortless elegant. Whether it is for watching a black and white movie on a Sunday afternoon or for a duvet day lazing around the house you still want to wear something that makes you feel good but yet is still comfortable. Key pieces to search for are sophisticated dressing gowns in silk or cashmere, relaxed wide leg trousers, loose easy tops for stylish layering and statement cashmere pieces.

With the growth in the loungewear set to continue, many high street brands are starting to offer loungewear ranges, but it is worth seeking out brands that offer a dedicated range of mix and match styles, with tips on how to make the styles work for every occasion, with a variety of fabrics and colours best suited for stylish relaxed living.

One brand leading the growth in the UK market is meandem.com. They have an amazing range of loungewear items that will fit any occasion and a growing celebrity following.

Decorating Tips For People With Allergies

When you or the people you are living with suffer from allergies, it is nice to know that you can ease their discomfort a little with a few tips on what to avoid when you are cleaning or decorating. So here are a few suggestions:

Organic Wool Duvet

o Keep animals out of the house. If it is too late, and you already have a beloved pet, have an air purifier going all the time. It will help with the dust, lint, pet dander, and other particles flying around, including eliminating some of those nasty molds.

Organic Wool Duvet

o Vacuum frequently and thoroughly, including furniture and draperies. It is helpful if you have bought furniture that is leather upholstered, and easy to wipe down. But any easily vacuumed fabric in natural fabrics (with the exception of wool), will make it easier for you.

o Shutters, metal and vinyl blinds, and shades, are easier to dust and maintain than heavy curtains and drapes. But if you already have invested in those heavy window treatments, have them dry cleaned every two or three months.

o Use comforters and duvets with duvet covers, instead of heavy bedspreads in your bedrooms. The comforters should be washable, and if they aren't, use duvet covers on them as well. You can change them weekly with you other bed linens, to eliminate dust mites and animal dander, and have the added benefit of being able to vary your bedroom theme.

o Have your air ducts cleaned a couple times each year.

o Forget carpeting. Wood, ceramic tile, and vinyl flooring are not going to collect dust the way fabrics do. Bamboo area rugs, or those made of jute, are durable, attractive, and easy to maintain. Any fabric rugs should be of a small enough size to wash easily and frequently.

Do You Need Sateen Sheets?

Sateen is a sign of luxury and elegance. It is a nature of a person that he or she always wants to give his or her home a feeling of comfort yet making it luxurious and spacious. When we use golden lights instead of white lights in our homes; the main idea is to give the house an impression of richness and luxury. This is due to the reason that human beings love the idea of being comfortable and luxurious at the same time.

Organic Wool Duvet

Why everyone wants to stay in five star hotels, why not in some normal hotel with all the same facilities? The answer is the environment and atmosphere created by them attracts you the most. It is created by using luxurious furniture and the comfortable yet spacious bedding done mostly with silk and sateen. This always leaves an impression on the clients and makes it look more comfortable and desirable than anything else.

Organic Wool Duvet

But when we talk about its price and budget, people say that they will love to live a luxurious life but high cost is the main barrier between them. In our case the answer becomes simpler by just removing the barrier. The sateen sheets are one of the luxuries but are of very nominal and affordable prices and are the sole reason of becoming so popular among every class.

Sateen is just a special type of cotton which is altered and treated a little bit giving it a comfortable look. It can be used with a number of bedding accessories and suits with everything. A person can even use a wool duvet with organic sateen case. This is great if a person wants to remain warm and make use of pure wool with a luxurious touch. It is the most preferred combination. While duvet keeps a person warm and natural while one of the same elements is also present in the organic sateen case. It is natural itself as it is organic it explains itself that it is a healthy sign and can be luxurious as well as chemical free plus natural at the same time.

Sateen bedding gives your bedroom one of the most luxurious and special feelings. It even creates a romantic environment seducing you, this is the reason it is preferred in the bedrooms of the newly married couples. It is simply treatment of cotton nothing more, while cotton is a rougher and standardized look, sateen is a more silky and smoother version of cotton - you add a glimpse of style to your bedding. Surprisingly the price of original cotton is much higher than sateen or silk. But still the sateen is the element that can add the original beauty to your bedroom and the bedding.
