Autumn florals

Autumn has to be one of our favourite times of year and thanks to FrithRugs range of autumnal floral rugs you can enjoy the season indoors as well as outside.

We have a superb range of floral rugs from the big, bold blooms found in the Nourison Tropics range to the smaller, most abstract designs found in our Ella Claire collections which are exclusive to FrithRugs.

Blooming Big!

If you want to be bold then the large, dark and dramatic prints found in the Tropics collection are for you.  These rugs are really fashionable as intense and exciting interiors feature quite heavily in this season's design trends.

To complement the look try using velvet in your other accessories - curtains, cushions and throws - but keep any other floral accessory to a minimum and let the rug do the talking.  These rugs will also suit larger rooms as they could dominate a smaller space.

The great thing about big and bold is that it doesn't feel to girlie and can be as masculine as you want it to be and if you get the look right, the room will have a modern art feel.

Contemporary Florals

We think this rug taken from our Ella Claire Indian Rug Collection, which is exclusive to FrithRugs, really suits the season.  The shades of burnt orange and green make it easy to find other accessories to complement the rug and these warm earthy tones are ideal to ensure your room feels lovely and cosy. 

www.frithrugs.co.uk offers a wide range of floral rug designs featuring modern and classical interpretations.  The general rule with a floral rug is to keep the rest of your room pared-back as florals can sometimes be overwhelming.  Rather than use other florals, pick a shade of colour from the rug and use that to bring your interior design theme together.  

For example in the tropics rug here, find pillows or cushions in a similar pale blue - they can have pattern providing you have lots of white/cream background to it.

Fireworks at home

Our exclusive Vibrance collection

Even if you are not setting off your own fireworks or attending an official event, you can usually enjoy all the colours of somebody else's firework in the night sky - but we've got some fabulous colourful rugs for those people who appreciate dazzling design and an explosion of colour.

Our Vibrance collection is the place to start your search for some colour.  As the name suggests, it features contemporary rugs in vibrant colours. Available in numerous sizes and made from 100% wool, you won't find these rugs anywhere else - as they are exclusive to FrithRugs.  If you are looking for a statement rug - take at look at the full range.

Or, check out another exclusive range, the Ella Claire Exclusive collection.  This offers beautiful handmade rugs that use the finest wool with touches of viscose to enhance the colour and design. The smooth, plush pile is a joy to walk on as well as being a treat for the senses.

These rugs really do turn up the heat and bring a warm glow to your autumn/winter decor.  The bright pops of colour are just what you want to cheer up a dark, dreary winter night - just because it's miserable outside, it doesn't have to feel that way inside.

When you have such a wow accessory in any room, you should ensure that other pieces are more subtle.  However, the great thing about having a colourful rug is that you can take one or two colours from the rug to co-ordinate.  In the example above, you're spoilt for choice - mustard, red, blue, orange - a few cushions in the shame colours and perhaps a couple of ornaments in the same colours and you're done.

Have a safe and enjoyable Bonfire Night everyone.

We're all going grey!

When it comes to interior design, grey is the new white – and here we explain why grey is so popular for homeowners.

Interior designers and us mere mortals are catching on to the fact that grey can work across many design schemes.  It can be contemporary and cool, it can be soothing and relaxing and it can be lively and energetic – it all depends on the shade of grey you choose for your room.

If you like modern then opt for darker shades that add a hint of drama, if your style is more vintage or classic, blue greys will work well and if you want your room to feel relaxed mid tone greys will create the mood.

If you are using grey on the wall or on one wall - as ever - getting the right accessories is key.  As its getting cooler, texture is important to help create a warm and cozy space.  Don’t be afraid to mix and match – so faux fur cushions, velvet throws and a sheepskin rug, like the one shown will mean you never want to leave the house.

If your walls are plain, then add pattern with accessories.  Something from our Machine woven natural collection would add interest on the floor, like this middle rug, while patterned cushions and curtains would make the whole room come to life.

Grey also works with bold primary colours too.  Place a large grey rug on the floor and add a pop of colour with mustard and orange cushions, an orange lamp and a piece of art featuring the same shades.   Go to our exclusive Ella Claire ‘Naturals’ Collection to find luxurious deep pile grey rugs that will add warmth and subtlety.

If you like a classic style, how about this traditional grey rug from our Bokhara collection.  We think this works well with cream and very pale grey walls and silver grey curtains.  Set the rug on a hard wood floor and keep grey accessories to a minimum so that you let the rug do the talking.

Grey has become so popular with our customers that we have introduced several collections featuring stripes, patterns and plain grey rugs in a variety of tones and shades.  If you’re looking for home accessories in this must have colour, search our grey rugs online.
