Are you ready to take the next step in your home’s design? The first step is choosing the right flooring, followed by furniture and accessories. After that, it’s time to step back and really take a look at in your home.

An area rug can be the magic element that brings everything in a room together and supports your style goals.

This room, for example, combines traditional with a touch of luxury and old-world style. The ceiling-to-floor curtains, the antique chest serving as a coffee table, and the rich wood floors all make a statement.

This area rug adds just the right touch to make that message clear and inviting. The oriental style and rich colors complement everything else in the room and help turn it into a “designed” space.

Not a fan of traditional? How about a modern magic carpet? Take a look at how this rug fits with the modern chaise and sends a message about where this room is going. Once again the room starts with a wood floor, but the difference in style of the area rug conjures a look even with limited furniture and art.

You can end your decorating explorations with a rug like the homeowner did in the top photo, or let a rug inspire the rest of the room like the person with more modern taste did in the photo to the right. Either way, a rug makes a world of difference.

And while today’s area rugs are not capable of flying you to other lands, they can help transport your home to a place you and your friends want to be.

So how about taking a break from everyday life, and for a few hours you can step into your dreams in one of our design centers and see your ideas come to life?

This time of year when mornings arrive later and evenings come sooner; it’s nice to do what you can to maximize the sunlight entering your home.

This room shows some smart architectural and design decisions that provide as much natural light as possible.

To start, a bay window design grabs more light than standard windows because of the additional angles provided by the two end windows. Light coming in from another direction can be valuable, particularly if a room has only one wall with windows. The window design also creates an inviting niche. The space works well for a table, and it could also house a sofa or a couple of chairs with a table in the center.

By choosing to set the sofa perpendicular to the window, both sofa and chair receive a great deal of light without the exposure to glare from the sun. This is particularly important when the windows have no coverings except the floor-to-ceiling curtains on either side. While this look is beautiful, adding the right window coverings would shield the room from any glare.

The light and bright feeling in the room comes from more than the windows. The white walls and window frames keep that open and inviting mood, and the wood floors shine under the reflected sunlight. A sparkling coffee table also adds a bright reflection from the outside, carrying more light into a room.

Don’t hesitate to use light colors, mirrors and anything shiny to bring the sun into any room. And the brighter your home, the more inviting it is when winter is at its darkest.

When you think of mixing interior decorating styles, you probably wouldn’t think of pairing farmhouse with contemporary. The two seem almost polar opposites: farmhouse is about handcrafted, vintage style that recalls the great American farmhouse; contemporary is about the latest innovations, clean lines, and minimal decoration. The intersection between the two disparate design styles can be found in the handcrafted, clean lines and minimal decoration that both styles embrace.

Handcrafted can be something as simple as a handmade wood table made from a slab or walnut, or a hand-knotted or woven wool rug. Both of these would be right at home in either a contemporary or a farmhouse style room.  This open living loft space is a wonderful example of how farmhouse style can be incorporated into a contemporary space.

The dining table and chairs have a decidedly non-contemporary look and feel. White painted wood chairs and a long white painted refectory style table would be more at home in a farmhouse kitchen or dining room. However, the pair fit into this space quite well, and brings warmth to the cool contemporary lines of the rest of the room.  The white painted furniture fits in with the other white furnishings in the seating area visible just beyond the dining room. Each area is anchored by a white area rug on the dark wood floor. The simple lines and color of the farmhouse style chairs and table allow them to work with the more contemporary elements of the room.

Over the holidays, you may have been lucky enough to give or get one or more luxury gifts. From jewelry to beautiful clothes, maybe a gift certificate to a spa, these gifts are as fun and exciting to give as to receive.

When it’s time to do something special for you however, how about thinking beyond the traditional luxuries to gifts that provide a pampered feeling every day? Here are some of our favorites.

A whole-house vacuum. If you’ve never experienced one of these, it’s amazing how easy it is to keep your home looking beautiful with limited effort. Instead of hauling a heavy vacuum around, the hose is light and easy to maneuver. Vacuum outlets are placed for maximum convenience and utility. Since 1908, Hoover, our central vacuum provider, has been the most trusted and reliable name in vacuum cleaners. These central vacuum systems offer simplicity, convenience and the best in air quality. It is an easy solution to cumbersome vacuum cleaners not to mention allergy-sensitive homeowners. The Teflon filter is self-cleaning and assures very few allergens or little dust will be left in the air, providing a clean home environment.

Garage floor coatings and garage cabinets. Give your garage a look as finished and appealing as the rest of your home. Our floor coatings use commercial-grade products for durability and come in solid colors or a granite-look. These floors also substantially reduce the dirt tracked into your home. With our line of garage cabinetry you will finally have space to store everything including your car. We can design a solution for you based on your needs and the layout of your garage. You will be able to select cabinet styles, sizes and colors. You can even have overhead storage and a workbench.

By adding these luxury features to your home, you can feel pampered every day. You may even decide that they’re not luxuries at all, but necessities you didn’t even know you needed until you experienced the difference having them made in your life.
