Welcome spring by refreshing your home's interior design

It feel like it’s been a long time coming but this week, spring officially arrives. 

This is traditionally the time of year to spring clean the house and get it ready for the arrival of a new season. It’s also the ideal time to think about a fresh new look for your interiors and one of the quickest and easiest ways to do that is by changing your soft furnishings. 

Start refreshing your home interior with a new rug and take it from there.  FrithRugs has added some gorgeous colours to our Lippa Plain carved collection and these are ideal for spring/summer – orange, yellow, blue, lilac – you are sure to find a shade you like. 

Once you have your new rug in place, everything else should complement it – fresh flowers or flowering plants, cushions and a new lampshade is all you need to give your home a spring facelift.

We love rugs!

As one of the UK’s leading rug retailers, it will come as no surprise when we tell you that we love rugs.  They have to be the perfect home accessory and in our opinion a house is not a home without one. Here are just a few reasons why we love rug.

Give your room a new look.

Let’s say you are bored with your current colour scheme and fancy a change.  Once you have found a rug in a colour you love, you can easily make this your accent colour by buying a few cushions and throws to match.  Voila – a whole new look.

Add light

If you have a dark floor, it may be practical for your lifestyle but it can take a lot of colour out of a room. If you add a light rug over a dark floor or even a dark carpet it will brighten the whole room.

Zone your space

Rugs can zone or divide any room into distinct areas. For example, in a large open space a rug can delineate between the living area and the dining area.  You could use a rug to      make a corner of a room into a study or reading area or perhaps you want a quiet space to relax.

Add warmth

The trend for hard wood flooring shows no sign of abating and while these floors look great and are hard wearing they can often look cold. Whether it’s just having a lovely thick shaggy rug at the side of your bed to warm your feet in the morning to having an inviting rug to complete your living room – it’s the perfect accessory.

The ultimate versatile accessory

Rugs are versatile – you can move them into different rooms to create a new look, you can take them with you when you move and you can even have rugs to suit the seasons. It’s no wonder, we love rugs.

Say Hello to spring with a floral rug

As regular readers of FrithRugs blog posts will know, a well-chosen rug is the perfect anchor for your interior design scheme.

As Spring has now officially arrived, our rug interior experts want to shout about the benefits of bringing flowers indoors and celebrating the fabulously floral. 

Now we understand that using florals can be a bit scary but our tips about how to use floral rugs in your interior design scheme should allay any apprehension you may have.

A floral rug will be the focus of your room and it’s nice to celebrate the arrival of a new season with something that reflects the environment outside.   A floral rug, depending on which pattern and colourway you choose, can work well in both a modern and traditional setting and so let’s take a look at the floral rugs FrithRugs can offer.

Don’t play it safe

If you look at any striking interiors online you will find that the look is achieved by NOT playing it safe.  For those of you who are happy to make a bold statement, have the confidence to be innovative with patterns.  You can clash florals – for example, a floral rug, floral curtains and floral cushions.  However, for this to work, keep your furniture neutral – so your sofa and chairs chairs should be in one colour block.

Modern floral

Getting the right style at home comes with experience but our tip is to paint your walls and ceiling a crisp white and then select a floral rug.  You can highlight the colour of the rug in accessories such as lamps or artwork.  You will be amazed at how this will give your room a cool, contemporary feel.

Shabby chic or country cottage

If you select a floral rug with small rather than large flowers, you can achieve a shabby chic or country cottage mood.  Small florals will work well on hard wood flooring and in a room that has natural wood furniture and pared down accessories.  Choose a pale colour from your rug flower and use it as the accent shade for your other pieces.

There are no real hard and fast rules when it comes to using florals.  Like all interior design styles, it really comes down to personal choice.  However, when looking for that perfect floral rug to bring the outside in, you will find a great selection at www.frithrugs.co.uk, including exclusive designs that you won’t find anywhere else.  From big, bold blooms to more delicate flowers, say hello to the spring/summer 2019 interior season with flowers.
