A good area rug can make a big difference in your decor. It can pull your overall look together and make your look more cohesive. It can create a focal point or define an area. It can add color and drama to a room. Yes, an area rug is an important element in your design.

Yep, it has to be the brown circles here, too

No, me, me!!
It was just this past weekend that I seriously debated buying several rugs…then I snapped back to the reality of my bank account. This would be great! I want the Brown – Spa Blue Circles Rug.

Of course, I want the “Jasmine Collection Beige – Gray Rug Rug,” ’cause it’s got the word “rug” in its name, twice!
Naw… it’s awesome. And it’ll go with my condo’s main theme of “Early 21st Century middle-aged bachelor.”

Greetings! Fabulous area rugs. My favorite is the “Jasmine Collection Beige-
Gray Rug! It would pull together our family room that consists of two adjoining rooms. Please enter me in your drawing. Many thanks!

All of the rugs are striking, but I have to point to the Brown Circles Rug on practical grounds.
A 3-year-old and laminate flooring are good for a lot of things, but you simply can’t play marbles. I believe the closest analogy would be “like golfing on the moon.” The Brown Circles Rug could double as a play surface for marbles, tiddlywinks and I bet a bunch of other fun ideas.

Posted by: Noreen | April 9th, 2008 1:17 am |
Wow- what a great giveaway! Thank you!!
The “Brown – Spa Blue Circles Rug” is my favorite. But the beige-gray was a close second. Rugs really DO change the looks and feel of a room.

I’ve been searching for a rug I like to use in staging my house to sell it AND to use in my new house! I really like the “Contempo Collection – Allure 10405 Brown Rug”! It’s contemporary, but no so modern that it wouldn’t fit in with my furnishings.
Posted by: Julianna | April 9th, 2008 8:16 am |
I like the spa blue circles and the jasmine orange-burgandy rug. I know exactly where I would put it!
