White painted floors are a trend I'm fearful of. First and foremost, it's a semipermanent look that may go out of style in no time. Secondly, while plenty of hardwood floors are trashed after years of wear and tear, that's not to say they can't be repaired with some TLC. Thirdly, dirt and scuff marks are magnified against the white background. All that said, these floors do look magnificent, Read more
When it comes to carpeting, sometimes the simplest way to save is to turn your head. Vogue.com writer Lauren Santo Domingo did just that when she decided to have the carpet in her Flatiron, NYC loft laid at an angle. "This was a regular striped carpet," she writes, "but we had them lay it diagonally, which I think makes for a very cool effect." From the looks of it, there wasn't much of a Read more
Here's a post from OnSugar blog Smorgasbord: I know you're all dying to know what we did with our floors. Did we install new floors? Did we paint? Did we whitewash? Did we stick with the natural color? Did we stain them darker? What did we do?! Well the wait is over. But first let me explain . . . Once we pulled up the 50-year-old vinyl flooring, and some old-timey pressed fiber board type thing, Read more
With parcels of land and crops hand-crafted of New Zealand wool, Florian Pucher's Land Carpet represents an aerial view of farmland in Europe, Africa, the Netherlands, and the USA. Each region (or rug) offers variations in colors and patterns. The Netherlands, famous for its bulb exports like tulips, hyacinth, daffodils, narcissus, and crocus, features the hues of bright florals and more rigid, Read more
The spaciousness and luxury of this hotel suite in Berlin's Soho House are tempting me to book a flight to Germany. However, I also couldn't help but notice the stunning wood floors. Can you tell me what this patterned wood floor is called? Read more
Zebra and cowhide rugs have been a big topic of discussion over the last few years. Some of you — and dozens of celebs! — can't seem to get enough of the trend. Others oppose them on moral grounds. And others don't take to them from a style perspective. But now Horchow's debuted these colorful Hides Rugs ($500) which have been dyed in brilliant colors for a striking effect. I just Read more
Life works in peculiar ways. I've had the Jonathan Adler Helix Rug ($795 for 5'x8') on the brain, ever since I saw it in his Summer Sale yesterday. Even with the discount, it's still out of my budget . . . and now I realize that it's already sold out. But lucky for me . . . I just spotted another rug with a similar diamond, pennant-style pattern and a much friendlier price. Wondering where you Read more
Jonathan Adler has kicked off a fabulous Summer rug sale that can't be missed! Through Aug. 15, all rugs, custom or in stock, are marked down 20 percent. The only catch is that all sale items are final sale. But when can you really go wrong with Adler? I am borderline obsessed with this Turquoise Herringbone Rug ($128). The color offers the perfect amount of punch for any room, and it feeds my Read more
If you're looking for a small accent rug, it's not too difficult to find a budget-friendly, stylish option. But when it comes to large area rugs, it gets trickier. I have a friend who's been on the hunt for an affordable rug for his living room, and he's realizing it's not an easy task. You can always try your luck at discount stores like Home Goods, go on a treasure hunt at vintage stores and Read more
When it comes to deciding what size rug to get and where to put it, I truly think a picture is worth a thousand words. And while looking at other examples is great, seeing what it will look like in your own room, with your own furniture, is even better. To visualize what the rug will look like in your home, grab some old newspapers, adhesive tape, and measuring tape. Lay the papers out flat Read more
