Rugs are planning a cover up!

Good Friday to you cool rug shopping cats! I introduce myself as the partner to Mr. Paul Johnson who has written so many interesting blogs about the exciting world of rugs. Without further ado, allow me to share a brief story about my recent cover up!

So I had family coming over the other day, and I was running around like a lunatic trying to get my home straightened up. The rugs in my living room and kitchen were freshly vacuumed and were looking great.


My foyer on the other hand was another story. I live in a new construction townhome in downtown Detroit, and the builder covered the foyer floor with vinyl. Now, seeing as Detroit is a 4 season town, the vinyl is looking pretty lousy. It has some scrapes in it where I had accidentally drug gravel in, and some marks from when salt followed me in during the winter months.



With this being the first part of my home anyone sees when paying a visit, what was I to do? Well, I could try to lay a new ceramic floor on the fly, or I could put down some rugs and cover up the marks. Seeing as I own a site that sells rugs, I am sure you can already imagine my choice.



I ran over to our offices and grabbed a rug sample to toss down onto the floor. Rugs can be a great way to cover up an unsightly floor. Whether it is a hard surface area like mine, or a wall to wall carpeted area, placing rugs down is a great way to enliven a room and make it feel fresh and crisp again. The ideal part of rugs is that if you have a few different ones for a given room, you can toss one into storage and when the place starts feeling a little boring, you can just switch them out. This is what I do during the season changes. The rugs I have down in the spring and summer season are not usually what I have down in the fall and winter months. I tend to put down brighter cheerier colors in the fall and winter to make up for the grey Detroit skies.

So when you have family planning to come over for a visit, consider rugs to spruce up the joint. We have several items that are in stock and ready to ship. If you need any help whatsoever in finding the ideal rug for you home, please give us a shout. We really do love what we do and can help you discover the ideal item for your home's interior!
