Generally speaking, cafés bars and pubs will tend to have hard flooring. This isn’t necessarily an aesthetic decision, it is just that it makes the place easier to clean.
Nevertheless, if you run such an establishment, you don’t want to be hidebound. In many cases, the difference between a successful bar and a failing one is [...]

Using rugs in cafés, bars and pubs
Rugs for homes with pets
It is great having pets, but there are one or two downsides. Chief among these is the fact that they tend to shed hair, which then accumulates on soft furnishings. Any cat owner will know that a favourite spot will need regular cleaning – particularly in spring when fur is shed more rapidly in anticipation [...]
Does your room feel empty? Maybe it needs a rug
Many of us spend long hours decorating our rooms, but no matter how confident we are and no matter how experienced, it doesn’t always go to plan. The end result might not be disastrous, but it could feel a little lacklustre. You might feel that something is missing.
This is not uncommon. Decorating is a balancing [...]
Do you have the right rug for this time of year?
The effect may not be quite so pronounced as it is out in the garden, but as the seasons change, so the look of our rooms tends to change as well. At different times of year, rooms get different light. A west-facing living room might get virtually no natural light in winter as the sun [...]
Different rugs for summer
One of the great things about rugs as an element of home décor is the flexibility they allow. Unlike carpet or hardwood flooring, you can change the look of your room with ease. This is particularly useful as the seasons change, because what feels right in winter might not seem quite so appropriate when the [...]

Choosing a rug can be very difficult. You can get rugs in every shade of every colour and it can be difficult to narrow down your options. You will also already have a number of different colours and patterns in the room where you intend to place the rug. How do you match or complement [...]
Why does a shaggy rug make a room feel so homely?
It’s surprising just how much a rug can alter the feel of a room. An area which once felt bland and lifeless can come to seem vibrant and joyous, while a cold, sterile atmosphere can be made warm and inviting through the right choice of rug.
Shaggy rugs are particularly popular for the homely feel they [...]
Making your living room more distinctive
There are two ways in which you can decorate a room badly. You can be too ambitious and create a room which feels overly busy with too many patterns and brash, ugly colours. The other extreme is more common. In playing it safe, you can end up with a room which feels lifeless and bland.
Fortunately, [...]
Buy a rug and then decorate or vice versa?
The purchase of a new rug often goes hand in hand with redecoration. Often, one thing will have a knock-on effect on another when decorating a room, so it can make more sense to pretty much start from scratch.
But which is the right way round to do things? Should you decorate your room and then [...]
What kinds of designer rugs are available?
Few items of home décor come in so many different styles as rugs. There are near endless patterns and combinations of colours out there and many different types of fabric. A number of famous designers have turned their hand to rug design. Here is what you can expect to find.
