Improve your living room or bedroom begins with the perfect area rug—an essential element that enhances both style and functionality. A well-chosen rug not only anchors the room but also adds warmth, texture, and a touch of personality to your space. Whether you’re decorating a cozy bedroom or a spacious living room, selecting the right rug is crucial to achieving a harmonious and inviting atmosphere. Design and Style: The design of your area rug can dramatically influence the overall look of your space. For a luxurious touch, consider hand-tufted or hand-knotted rugs, which offer intricate patterns and rich textures. These rugs are often crafted with attention to detail, making them ideal for adding an elegant statement to any room. If you prefer a more modern approach, machine-woven rugs are a great choice. They come in a variety of vibrant patterns and colors and are built to withstand heavy foot traffic thanks to their heat-set fibers. For a versatile option, flat-woven rugs, such as kilims, provide a reversible design that fits seamlessly into both contemporary and traditional decor. Materials and Comfort: When selecting a rug, the material plays a significant role in both its appearance and comfort. Shag and flokati rugs are perfect for creating a plush, cozy environment. Their long, soft fibers add a layer of comfort underfoot, making your living room or bedroom feel more inviting. Hand-loomed rugs offer unique textures and artisanal quality, while braided and hand-hooked rugs add a charming, handcrafted touch. For practical maintenance, machine washable rugs are a smart choice. They allow for easy cleaning and help maintain a fresh look with minimal effort. Functionality and Practical Features: Beyond aesthetics, consider the functionality of your rug. Stain-resistant and water-resistant rugs are ideal for managing spills and stains, ensuring that your rug remains in good condition over time. Non-slip and adhesive backings are essential for safety, particularly on hardwood floors. These features prevent the rug from shifting and reduce the risk of slips and falls. Additionally, cushioned rugs enhance comfort, making your space not only stylish but also more enjoyable to relax in. Customization and Personalization: Add a unique touch to your space with custom or personalized rug options. An 8x10 area rug is a popular choice for covering large areas and can be tailored to fit specific dimensions or design preferences. Personalized features, such as fringe details or organic textures, allow you to create a rug that reflects your individual style and complements your existing decor. Versatility and Maintenance: The top 15 area rugs available today offer a diverse range of styles and features to suit various needs. From distressed designs that add character to contemporary patterns that offer a modern edge, there is a rug to match every aesthetic. Large rugs for living rooms and bedrooms can help define the space and create a cohesive look, while huge carpets can make a bold statement. Consider the practicality of each rug, ensuring that it not only enhances your decor but also withstands everyday use. In Summary: Selecting the ideal area rug involves finding a balance between style and practicality. Whether you opt for a luxurious hand-tufted design, a durable machine-woven option, or a versatile flat-woven style, the right rug will elevate your living room, bedroom, or any other space. By exploring various options and considering both design and functionality, you can find the perfect rug that transforms your space into a stylish, comfortable haven.

Rustic one-story wood flat roof idea in Austin with a green roof

This large side yard in the Lakeshore Historic District was redeveloped into a natural woodland clearing. Stormwater from the roof has been directed through a steel runnel into a native rain garden where it replenishes the cistern for a bubbling stone fountain. Weathered concrete slabs act as a thread from a firepit seating area, across the rain garden to the rear yard. This additional garden has a lawn parking pad, extensive kitchen gardens and a custom-built garden shower for visits to the beach. Darris Lee Harris Photography

Inspiration for a mid-sized contemporary dark wood floor and brown floor hallway remodel in New York with white walls

On April 22, 2013, MainStreet Design Build began a 6-month construction project that ended November 1, 2013 with a beautiful 655 square foot addition off the rear of this client's home. The addition included this gorgeous custom kitchen, a large mudroom with a locker for everyone in the house, a brand new laundry room and 3rd car garage. As part of the renovation, a 2nd floor closet was also converted into a full bathroom, attached to a child’s bedroom; the formal living room and dining room were opened up to one another with custom columns that coordinated with existing columns in the family room and kitchen; and the front entry stairwell received a complete re-design.

When my client had to move from her company office to work at home, she set up in the dining room. Despite her best efforts, this was not the long-term solution she was looking for. My client realized she needed a dedicated space not on the main floor of the home. On one hand, having your office space right next to the kitchen is handy. On the other hand, it made separating work and home life was not that easy. The house was a ranch. In essence, the basement would run entire length of the home. As we came down the steps, we entered a time capsule. The house was built in the 1950’s. The walls were covered with original knotty pine paneling. There was a wood burning fireplace and considering this was a basement, high ceilings. In addition, there was everything her family could not store at their own homes. As we wound though the space, I though “wow this has potential”, Eventually, after walking through the laundry room we came to a small nicely lit room. This would be the office. My client looked at me and asked what I thought. Undoubtedly, I said, this can be a great workspace, but do you really want to walk through this basement and laundry to get here? Without reservation, my client said where do we start? Once the design was in place, we started the renovation. The knotty pine paneling had to go. Specifically, to add some insulation and control the dampness and humidity. The laundry room wall was relocated to create a hallway to the office. At the far end of the room, we designated a workout zone. Weights, mats, exercise bike and television are at the ready for morning or afternoon workouts. The space can be concealed by a folding screen for party time. Doors to an old closet under the stairs were relocated to the workout area for hidden storage. Now we had nice wall for a beautiful console and mirror for storage and serving during parties. In order to add architectural details, we covered the old ugly support columns with simple recessed millwork panels. This detail created a visual division between the bar area and the seating area in front of the fireplace. The old red brick on the fireplace surround was replaced with stack stone. A mantle was made from reclaimed wood. Additional reclaimed wood floating shelves left and right of the fireplace provides decorative display while maintaining a rustic element balancing the copper end table and leather swivel rocker. We found an amazing rug which tied all of the colors together further defining the gathering space. Russet and burnt orange became the accent color unifying each space. With a bit of whimsy, a rather unusual light fixture which looks like roots from a tree growing through the ceiling is a conversation piece. The office space is quite and removed from the main part of the basement. There is a desk large enough for multiple screens, a small bookcase holding office supplies and a comfortable chair for conference calls. Because working from home requires many online meetings, we added a shiplap wall painted in Hale Navy to contrast with the orange fabric on the chair. We finished the décor with a painting from my client’s father. This is the background online visitors will see. The last and best part of the renovation is the beautiful bar. My client is an avid collector of wine. She already had the EuroCave refrigerator, so I incorporated it into the design. The cabinets are painted Temptation Grey from Benjamin Moore. The counter tops are my favorite hard working quartzite Brown Fantasy. The backsplash is a combination of rustic wood and old tin ceiling like porcelain tiles. Together with the textures of the reclaimed wood and hide poofs balanced against the smooth finish of the cabinets, we created a comfortable luxury for relaxing. There is ample storage for bottles, cans, glasses, and anything else you can think of for a great party. In addition to the wine storage, we incorporated a beverage refrigerator, an ice maker, and a sink. Floating shelves with integrated lighting illuminate the back bar. The raised height of the front bar provides the perfect wine tasting and paring spot. I especially love the pendant lights which look like wine glasses. Finally, I selected carpet for the stairs and office. It is perfect for noise reduction. Meanwhile for the overall flooring, I specifically selected a high-performance vinyl plank floor. We often use this product as it is perfect to install on a concrete floor. It is soft to walk on, easy to clean and does not reduce the overall height of the space.

Walk-in shower - small modern master gray tile and ceramic tile ceramic tile walk-in shower idea in Baltimore with a vessel sink, a two-piece toilet and gray walls

Photography by Jim Tetro This house, built in the 1960s, sits southfacing on a terrific wooded lot in Bethesda, Maryland. The owners desire a whole-house renovation which would improve the general building fabric and systems, and extend the sense of living out of doors in all seasons. The original sixties-modern character is preserved and the renovation extends the design forward into a contemporary, modern approach. Connections to and through the site are enhanced through the creation of new larger window and door openings. Screened porches and decks perch above the sloped and wooded site. The new kitchen and bathrooms allow for opportunities to feel out-of -doors while preparing, cooking, dining, and bathing. Smart passive strategies guide the environmental choices for this project, including envelope improvements, updated mechanical systems, and on-site stormwater management.
