Imagine the floor as your room's "5th wall". A large space to present a visual accent which captures your personality and shows off your style. By adding a rug you can completely alter the mood of any room, and even change your entire color scheme. Create drama with a bold pattern or new design. Do you have wood, stone or tile floors? A rug with texture can add comfort, warmth and absord sound providing echo relief. Consider a shape rug for highlighting a special area. For instance a round rug can further define a round table or a gathering area, these simple decorating options are endless.

Create Focus! If something seems to be missing in an otherwise well-decorated room, chances are an area rug will be your solution. I call it "giving focus" to a room setting. Rugs are a great way to add style, color or texture, tying the surrounding furnishings all together and creating a central focal point. If an area rug is on your wish list, don't be afraid to spend a little extra to get exactly what you want. Rugs are a wise investment, providing years of service and delight. Let my expert staff help you add the missing piece to your decorating puzzle.
Decorating a room? Use a theme that reflects something that you really like. A theme can revolve around a favorite city or country, a time period or movie, hobby, sport, animal, etc. The inspirations are endless. My favorite theme is The Elegant Isle... think cool breezes, a relaxed attitude and classic furniture in an open uncluttered space with calm colors. Thereby creating an environment in your home that transports you to a special place in time. Use a richly colored Tommy Bahama area rug as the finishing touch and Enjoy Paradise Underfoot!
Chevrons, stripes and diamonds, bold yet harmonious colors, and entirely inspired by nature. These are the hallmarks of Southwest Style.

Southwest patterns and ethnic tribal designs are forecast as an important international home fashion trend for 2011. Since we live in the heart of the Southwest, this trend will always be in style!

Achieve VISUAL RHYTHM
Achieve VISUAL RHYTHM
Visual Rhythm is a decorating technique using colorful rugs to form an exciting visual theme in your home.
Learn how to select and place color-coordinated (not identical) area rugs throughout your home. Layout a pathway of color that is cohesive and creates a design scheme that can be threaded from one room to another. Even continue this theme outdoors to the patio, cabana and poolside.
The rugs act as an enticement to enter the home and explore it further, laying down color, with patterns to create a sense of adventure by drawing you deeper into the house... asking the question of “What is around the next corner?”
The word VISUAL means: relating to, or used in seeing, or induced by a mental image
The word RHYTHM means: pattern, movement, recurrence with a beat, an accent or an element, as you would find in a song or poem
Three Easy Steps
Map the home. Determine rooms and special spaces that would benefit (visually or functionally) with the placement of a rug.
Select one color. Choose the predominate color that will be featured in the main rug. Accent colors will become apparent with the additional colors that are shown in the rug, naturally complementary. This color theme will then be spread from room to room with minor variations in patterns or styles by the use of coordinating rugs.
Set the mood. Tell us about your home setting and lifestyle. Based on this information we'll be happy to recommend color coordinating groups of rugs especially for you. Visual Rhythm will enhance the flow of color throughout your home, harmonizing the décor.
