New rug collections at FrithRugs

Here at FrithRugs, we are always adding to rug collections.  We have some exciting new rugs in for the A/W season for both the neutralist and the dramatist - whatever your interior design style we think you'll love our new rugs.

Distinctive for the discering

The Distinctive Collection feature dappled neutral colours that are the perfect complement to a sophisticated interior.  The rugs are imbued with a subtle sheen to add luxury to any room.

Vintage grey

Our Vintage rug collection features this year’s must have colour – grey - and uses abstract and wild designs.  If you love contemporary, you'll love this look, which together with the soft, luxurious texture will be a sure fire winner in any modern room set.

Feeling heavenly with our Palette collection

The painterly tones found in the swirling colours of this rug range is reminiscent of a painter's palette.  These area rugs made in Turkey convey all the movement of the skies and are the ideal accessory when you want your rug to be the focal point of a room.  They are also very hard wearing and easy to clean.

Dynamic rugs

Another striking design can be found in our Dynamic rugs which boast daring 3D-like designs.  Hand tufted from a sumptuous wool blend and woven with gently shimmering silk-like fibres, these radiant  rugs create an amazing sense of depth and texture.

Welcome to broken plan living

We've all heard of open plan living - but broken plan living is the new interior design trend.

It's basically open plan mark II.  Open plan living has numerous advantages, it can make a series of small or average rooms seem vast and if your family enjoys communal living, it's the perfect solution for you.

It allows a seamless transition throughout one floor of the house and it's easy to create one cohesive interior design plan.  The room is bright and spacious which makes it natural and inviting. 

Open plan living can be hugely beneficial in your home. It can improve the overall appearance of your kitchen living room and dining room, increase the opportunities to let natural light and it promotes communal living by bringing your family together. 

Open plan living can create an easy and beautiful flow right from your front to back door. However, open plan can be noisy and even intrusive.  Even the closest families like to have their own space.  Broken plan is the solution.  

Essentially broken plan splits your open plan room into carefully designated areas that are cleverly thought out and designated specific areas. As your open plan room is one big space, your flooring will be the same throughout and so the best way to mark out your broken plan sectors is with rugs, preferably large area rugs. 

In the study area, throw down a deep red Persian rug and place the desk, reading light and a comfy chair on the outer area of the rug.  For the living area, go for something soft and deep such as a a rug from our Laura Jade collection.  In the dining area, set your dinning table on a Pakistani Bokhara while in the entertainment zone, something more modern such as a Timeless collection rug.

 

How to give your room a new look

We all  get fed up with looking at the same space.  However, if you are on a budget you won't have the cash to splash around on new furnishing and redecoration.  Never fear, it's easy to update your room by simply reconfiguring it.

Take a long, hard look at your lounge.  How easy or difficult would it be to move your TV to a different corner of the room?  Most of the rest of the furniture is configured around the telly, if you can move that - you can then think about moving everything else.

So the sofa moves and an armchair goes somewhere else too.  Then before you know it, you realise that the book-case would look better on another wall and the coffee table could go in the centre of the room, not in the corner.

If you can't move the TV because of the aerial then think about swopping the sofa and the armchairs around.  If that won't work, look at your peripheral furniture instead.

Occasional tables, lamps, book cases, sideboards - they can probably be swopped around.  And if they don't easily swop, think about furniture in other rooms.  Would the standard lamp in the dining room look better in the lounge?  That shelving in your bedroom may work better in the dining room.

Once you have moved the furniture - hopefully without spending a penny - you may decide you need a few new soft furnishings.  We always say a new rug is the easiest way to transform a room. FrithRugs has 1000s of rugs in every style, size and budget you can think of - and so you are sure to find something you like.

Finally, a gallery wall will also give an old room the wow factor. You don't even have to use pictures - mirrors, record covers, magazine covers - just use your imagination.

Once your new rug is in-situ and you have a couple of new cushions - you have a room with a whole new look.

It's easy.
