| Rugs, Rugs, Rugs!!! |
|
|
Since rugs are a big part of
your color palette and decor, as well as being a big
part of your budget, it is important that you select the
right rugs. Contact Melanie for help in finding just the
right rug for your home!
Tips for keeping you rugs looking their best:
- Cleaning - wool rugs maintain the best and
respond well to cleaning. A great tip for those tricky pet
stains is to spray Wool Lite onto the stain and then
blot gently.
- Rotation - for an even wear, rotate your rug once a
year. For those in higher traffic areas, rotate the rug
every 6 months.
- Vacuuming - restores life to your rug and helps
prevent dirt and dust build-up between fibers. Vacuum
your rugs on a regular basis to keep them looking like
new.
- Padding - prevents slipping as well as protecting it
from dirt and every day wear.
- Restoration - consult a professional to have worn
rugs rewoven and restored. Contact Room Redo for a
list of our best rug vendors who can also help restore
and clean your rugs!

| Feng Shui Tip of The Month |
|
|
- To keep chi (positive energy) from moving too
quickly through your home, create distinct areas in a
long hallway by placing several small area rugs
instead of one long runner.
- Bring family members together by placing a large
area rug in your living room. When placing all living
room furniture on the rug, it connects the separate
pieces symbolizing togetherness.
- Create cooperation and unity at your dining table
by placing the table and all chairs on a round rug.
- A circle is the symbol of harmony, place a circular
rug in your living room to create harmony.
- Rectangles promote growth. If you wish to expand
your circle of friends, place a rectangular rug in your
living room.
