We’re busy preparing for our area rug seminar! (Wednesday, Nov 11, 5-7p at The Great Rug Company, 7501 Burnet Rd Austin TX)

We’ll be talking about all kinds of styles and sizes of rugs and how to use them to enhance your room, using pictures and a real-time demonstration to give you the know-how you need to choose an area rug for your home . After all, a floor without a rug can keep a house from becoming a home — it’s that critical to interior design. Rugs bring color, comfort and magic to any space, and we’re going to show you how!

Here’s a few of my favorite contemporary designs. Each is big and bold in its own way and sure to add a wow factor to any room. Don’t let the price tag concern you! We’ll be showcasing beautiful rugs at all price ranges at the seminar. Above rugs 8×10, $1200 to $5400, from Design Within Reach www.dwr.com
