Flowers for mum all year round

Flowers for mum all year round!

Most mums, grandmothers, aunties and sisters appreciate a floral tribute on Mothers Day – so why not invest in floral tribute that will last.

Big and bold floral

You want to make a statement with your floral display, then a big, bold, botanical print is for you.  These modern floral rugs will take centre stage and so any other floral accessories you want to introduce should take more of a supporting role to these bright floral rug blooms.

Floral wool rugs

If you prefer more of an English country garden style with something subtler we recommend a smaller floral print which would sit really well in a traditional home.  Made from 100% wool and available in several colour ways these smaller more delicate flowers conjure up images of thatched roofs and roses around the door. These smaller designs mean you could afford to introduce similar floral patterns on other soft furnishings and wallpaper.

Chineserugs

Or how about a Chinese garden?  Our Chinese floral rugs sit well within both a modern and period design scheme and if you enjoy relaxing in an Oriental style garden, you can create the same tranquil look inside using one of these designs which are available in large area rug sizes.

Our floral rugs provide the inspiration needed to help to blur the boundary between house and garden. And if your Mum loves flowers, these are bouquets that will stand the test of time. 

Interiors for Spring 16

Interior design colours for Spring 2016

This week we are taking our inspiration from Pantone, who each season provide their interpretation of must have colours.  These colours are usually taken from the cat walk and then interpreted for interiors.

Here are some of our favourites from the palette.

Serenity blue – is calming and provides security.  Our advice is to use this blue in the bedroom where calm and peace will help you wind down at night and ease you into sleep.  This is also a great colour to mix with deep blue or white and will always give your room an air of elegance.

Fiesta on other hand is anything but calm.  This strong vivid shade is perfect for the dining room of the lounge – any room where you want to interact with people and socialize.  Fiesta would look good in large spaces with high ceilings and plenty of natural light – and should be used sparingly in small rooms.

And for those people who prefer something more neutral – iced coffee is the shade for you.  This colour is really versatile and can be used across the home in any room.  The shade is particularly adaptable and can either be the background for a neutral palette or combined with something brighter such as pink.

Chinese Rugs

Cheeky monkey – Happy Chinese New Year

Monday February 8^th marks the beginning of Chinese New Year – this year it’s the year of the Monkey.

If you are born in the Year of the Monkey, you will be quick witted, curious and mischievous (like a cheeky monkey).  Other characteristics include intelligence, versatility and honesty, but on the negative side, monkeys could have a bit of a temper and be selfish.  Famous cheeky monkeys include Charles Dickens, Julius Caesar and Leonardo de Vinci.

Colours associated with this year include gold and blue and as the UK’s largest retailer of Oriental rugs and carpets you can be assured that you will find a rug to suit your home.

In Chinese culture blue is associated with healing exploration and immorality.  In the home, blue is chosen for its relaxing and calming properties and we think the subtle blue found in this rug (top) is perfect for a bedroom.  The luxurious cream background, blends beautifully with the detailed blue patterns.  

And for something complete different – how about this red and gold rug for a bit of bling?  The Chinese associate gold with God, consciousness, completeness and not surprisingly with wealth.  This rug would suit a large room with traditional features and should be the focal point of the space.  Red accessories will work well

.

 

Whatever Chinese design you choose, you can be assured your Chinese rug will look stunning and bring an air of elegance to any room.   And here at FrithRugs most of our Chinese designs are available in range of shapes and sizes.

It’s no wonder that Chinese home interior design remains such a great British classic.  The designs offer a real versatility which makes them perfect for both modern and traditional properties.
