NOW THAT'S A WINNING RUG FOR A WINNING ROOM!

It has been a huge week for the contestants on The Block this week with 3 of the teams working on the largest areas for Living, Dining in The Block history. To complete these area's all the contestants are now in week 5 and finding their own breaking point of exhaustion. After being involved with the teams one on one and seeing just how real this competition is, I admit it is a journey of endurance of the mind, body and soul.

This week I had the pleasure of working with Courtney and Hans and as unsure as Courtney was about some of her choices styling this week, she was quick to commit when it came to ordering our stunning Aquaeous Seaspray rug by Katie McKinnon from the Rug Addiction Collection. 

A stunning looking young lady with a fun personality, Courtney is easy to talk with as we browse through my big suitcase of samples and catalogs. She was looking for color and immediately was drawn to the Seaspray rug for its fresh blue hues and this rugs natural flow of design.

Inspired by the spectrum of shades along the shoreline of Victoria’s Bellarine and Mornington Peninsulas, the Aqueous Collection brings coastal seaspray blues and soft luxurious textures. Designed by Melbourne based painter and designer Katie McKinnon for The Rug Collection, this incredible soft and durable handknotted rug is a vibrant show piece. Made from fine Artsilk, Seaspray is available in 3 sizes and 2 colors and has just been released in a circle. 

Courtney and Hans have used a 250 cm x 350 cm in their space, with the perfect furniture placement. Little trick, see how deep the lounge seat are, well this can make a space look wider than it actually is, then placing a huge rug in this area gives both lounges a connection. Visit more

After a decade spent living and working in Switzerland, Katie now resides in Melbourne with her partner and two sons. I can only describe Katie as an energetic, hard working ambitious woman, who has a love for life that rubs off on any one that has the good fortune of meeting her.

Katie and Rug Addiction wish to congratulate Courtney and Hans on their amazing win, with this impressive reveal of their Living and Dining. We would also like to thank you for choosing to use Aqueous Seaspray Blue Rug which is now being sold through The rugs australia

The St Kilda West house of Keryn Nossal (aka Nancy, owner of Fancy Films and St Andrew’s Beach accommodation Coastal Luxe) and Stephen Nossal (director of CRE green hydrogen development) feels like a real family home. But it hasn’t always been this way. 

The couple first came across the house in 2003, when a real estate agent recommended they check it out. Four days later, they bought it. ‘We owe a lot to that agent for pushing us and are still in touch with him to this day,’ says Keryn. 

It’s hard to imagine now, but 18 years ago the house was incredibly rundown, after operating as a boarding house for decades, then being separated into flats. 

‘It was divided into two properties… it had something like 11 bedrooms upstairs, five kitchens, and six bathrooms all designed to maximise the boarding house accommodation in the ‘60s,’ says Keryn. ‘There were leaking roofs, buckets in the hallways, exposed wiring, and it was very dark… the agent’s name for it was Bohemian Rhapsody – and our friends thought we were mad.’

Keryn says it’s taken minor renovations almost every year to get the property to where it is today, with the help of friend and architect Susi Leeton. ‘Susi did countless drawings and was really patient with us,’  Keryn says. ‘It turned out that the temporary kitchen (that she popped into the middle of the house while we decided where to put it) has been so good that it stayed!’

Letting go of a ‘big shebang reno’, as Keryn calls it, was perhaps the most challenging element of the project, but ultimately worth it. ‘The result is the house is made for living in the way we like it, not the way a potential buyer would like it, or anyone else for that matter,’ Keryn says. ‘It’s us.’

Today, the home is a warm and inviting space, filled with out of the ordinary items. The grand Victorian bones (with many quirks – something their kids didn’t always appreciate growing up!) now serve as the perfect backdrop for Keryn and Steve’s beautiful collection of contemporary and Indigenous art, ceramics, and eclectic furniture mostly bought from junk stores or op shops.  

‘Our adult kids and their friends appreciate it more now than they did when they were little; understanding that the imperfections are what generate the relaxed atmosphere and that the kitchen is the heart of the home,’ Keryn says.

Dulux Vivid White has been used on the walls throughout – the perfect light-reflecting backdrop for the family’s art, collected mostly from Monash Museum of Contemporary Art and Centre for Contemporary Photography. Keryn is also a KEEN op-shopper who has collected hundreds of homewares pieces over the years! ‘I collect all sorts of things that make complete sense to me’, she says. ‘I’ll never tire of collection special, meaningful pieces – nothing that’s in fashion – and surrounding our lives with things that have a story to pass on’. 

Making this home even more special is the fact Keryn’s best friend moved in next door 10 years ago! ‘It’s pretty special sharing a fence with them,’ she says.  What a dream!

‘There’s always something to fix, but we love it, and feel very happy here,’ says Keryn. ‘It’s been a gorgeous, rambling, indestructible place to bring up three kids, and continues to be.’

A Brief Discussion on Eight Major Types of Rugs

Many modern-day individuals from all across globe are investing in rugs primarily to rejuvenate overall appearance of their residential property. This particular accessory also reduces noise, enhances warmth, and effectually contributes to comfort. Now if you are also planning on making purchase, please be thoroughly acquainted with different types available in market such as shag, needlepoint, cut pile, flat weave, etc. For details, go through below-mentioned pointers right now.

1.       Floor Cloth

Floorcloths have acquired widespread recognition probably because they gave good characteristics of all types specified later in this list. Made from canvas, hemmed on edges, treated with plaster, and painted in vibrant patterns, floorcloths are generally spread on kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, etc.

2.       Oriental

Oriental is basically patterned rugs imported from China, Afghanistan, Nepal, India, Turkey, Tibet, few Balkan nations such as Albania and Romania, two North African nations namely Egypt and Morocco, etc. They blend easily with any style quite easily.

3.       Shag

Shag is an exceptionally soft rug, which usually act as accents in front of television or fireplace. An excellent example is Scandinavian Rya rugs where three wool strands are knotted to exhibit plush texture. Found in diverse colours, so, stand compatible with any home décor.  

4.       Needlepoint

Renowned manufacturers of modern rugs Melbourne said hand-stitched needlepoint allows intricate design, and stands ideal for areas with excessive traffic such as entryways. Owing to being delicate, it might get spoiled when not handled carefully.

5.       Kilim

Kilim could be loosely defined as flat-tapestry woven rugs. They could function as accessory for prayer rooms but most consumers use keeping only decoration in mind. Weft fibre strands are tightly interwoven to produce smoother surface.

6.       Loop Pile

Loop pile rugs are advantageous probably because of durability. Yes, they could retain their structural integrity even subjected to adverse weather conditions. People can heavy furniture on them.

7.       Cut Pile

Cut pile has garnered extensive acknowledgement in recent times, and are made from wool, nylon, or olefin. They generate a luxurious feel, have an outlook, which no accessory can really match, and last long without much maintenance. Cut fibres are also very easy to clean because dust cannot enter deep inside. Now isn’t that absolutely great?

8.       Flat Weave

Owing to having an incredibly thin profile, flat weave rugs can update any room without hassle. Also called Indian blankets, the said accessory is light in weight, hence, can be carried from place to another effortlessly.

Have you selected a rug from options stated above? If yes, schedule appointment with proficient, experienced, and reliable provider, who assures quality products for affordable price. I personally consider shops of modern rugs Melbourne optimal. Apart from treasuring wide collection, specialists working here prioritise clients over everything else. They carry out customisation, thus, meet varying requirements as well as expectations seamlessly.

A Complete Guide into Buying Jute Rugs Melbourne

Are you planning on staying outdoors longer this season? When the weather is amazing, you don’t want to be locked indoors. However, your outdoors needs to be renovated, and adding a rug might do that for you. Investing in jute rugs Melbourne requires an understanding of what you need, and whether it will fit your needs or not. Here we are going to take you through all the points that you need to consider when investing in outdoor rugs, by giving you a complete buying guide for the same. •    The material you choose for the outdoor rugs is important. Normally, you would need to choose from two different types of fibres- the synthetic ones and the natural ones. Here we will show you how the two differ, and which is useful when o    The synthetic fibres are considered to be highly durable, and they are resistant to mold and mildew. You can find them in a wide range of colours. Polypropylene is the main component of the outdoor rugs. However, in many cases you will find that these rugs are made of polyester and nylon as well. The reason for the popularity of polypropelyne can be attributed to the fact that it does not absorb liquid or stains. The reason for being stain resistant is because these custom made rugs Melbourne are treated with UV rays at a later stage. If you want to clean these rugs, you can simply wash them with water. You can use a hose to run the water. Apart from that, you can use bleach to clean the rug, and it will not even damage the colour or design of the rug o    Nylon is the other option but, it does not take up heavy traffic, which is why it is not used much in outdoor rugs. However, you will find that these rugs are stain resistant, and easy to clean, and that’s why they are a good option for outdoor rugs o    Acrylic and polyester are also good options for outdoor rugs in the synthetic category o   The next category is the natural fibre, where the sisal, seagrass and jute rugs Melbourne come. They offer a natural feel to the outdoors and are eco-friendly option. They come with hues and textures that make them belong to the outdoors o    However, their durability is a question as they tend to fade in natural sunlight. That is the only reason not many people prefer natural fibres for outdoors •    What type of rug you want is the next thing you need to consider? There are three variants- hand made, machine made and braided style. Handmade tend to take up a lot of time, and are quite expensive too. The machine made are efficient, and loomed in different colours. They are affordable as there is less detailing required in this rug. Flat weave are made from synthetic fibres in most cases, and their pricing is similar to the machine made rugs •    Finally, you need to choose the colours and options available with the custom made rugs Melbourne. It is important that you choose the right variants for the outdoors.

Remodeling 101: All About Stair Runners

New Post has been published on https://businessqia.com/awesome/remodeling-101-all-about-stair-runners/

Remodeling 101: All About Stair Runners

Over 10 years of Remodelista, we’ve seen designers, designers, and homeowners do inventive things with stair athletes( which, historically, tend to be a little uninteresting ). There was this dramatic green stair runner, and this casual painted runner. But do stair athletes actually have a purpose? Do you really need one?

To get some answers to common questions about stair athletes, we talked with designer Victoria Kirk, who established Victoria Kirk Interiors in 2007. Her company, based in Larchmont and Sag Harbor, New York, concentrates mostly on residencies in Westchester, Sag Harbor, and New York City. After more than two decades in the business, Kirk can provide plenty of intel on the subject of carpeting for stairs.

Above: A clean bamboo-and-silk runner by Melbourne custom rug maker Bibi Vero in Before& After: A Melbourne Remodel with a Masculine Touch. What are the pros and cons of stair athletes?

There are a number of reasons to install carpeting on stairs. Kirk cites two big pros: It reduces noise just made by people clattering up and down the stairs, and it adds a finished look to a stairway. Plus, in some circumstances, it constructs stairs safer–for example, young children are less likely to get hurt by falling on padded steps.

But Kirk doesn’t feel runners always induce stairs safer. “I live in an old house where the stairs are super steep and the treads are really narrow. If I had carpet on them, I’d be afraid of sliding. I favor bare timber. But stairs with deeper treads should be fine with carpet.” Obviously, to be safe, stair athletes should not be made of slippery material( such as silk or linen ). And they must be properly installed with no loose corners to trip over.

Another pro: Foot traffic can mar the finish on wooden treads and leave scuff marks on painted risers( the vertical part of the stairs, between the treads ). A athlete protects both treads and risers from wear and tear.( Another alternative: the no-shoes-in-the house rule .)

Still, the looking is more suited to traditional homes than modern ones. And bare wood steps are easier to keep clean than carpeted stairs. Vacuuming stairs is usually an awkward chore.

Above: Perhaps the most inventive stair athlete we’ve seen: a runner spotted in A Victorian Transformation, Dublin Style. What’s the best material for a stair athlete?

“An all-wool carpet is preferable aesthetically, ” says Kirk. “There’s a theory that a synthetic or mix will hold up better, but I don’t really believe it. People first and foremost want the looks, and wool delivers that.” She’s a big fan of the striped flat-weave athletes made of 100 percent wool by the British company Roger Oates Design.

Natural fibers like sisal and jute may not be your best choice, as they’re easily stained and is also available rough on bare foot. But, she says, “sisal or jute is a great look and it’s cheap.” These days indoor/ outdoor polypropylene that looks like sisal is becoming popular–it’s durable and easy to clean.

Above: A close-up of a “waterfall” installation with bound edges in their own homes of Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman; for more go to The Mysteries of Berkeley: A Literary Couple at Home. Is a darknes color better than light? And patterns–yes or no?

“With a athlete, you don’t want to go too light or too dark, ” says Kirk. “Dark depicts all the lint, while light-colored carpeting indicates grime and scuffs. I always push for a medium tone.”

As for the pattern, Kirk says, “If there’s a moment to have some fun on the stairs, go for it. I like horizontal stripes, like the Roger Oates flatweave.” What she doesn’t recommend: “Bold geometric contrasting patterns. They can be dizzying, and stimulate stairs hard to navigate–you can’t figure out where your next step is.”

Another thing to keep in mind with a pattern: If you need to match the pattern so every step lookings the same, you could end up with a lot of waste( and increased cost ).

Above: In Reader Rehab: A Country House Makeover Courtesy of White Paint, the Pieterdam wool runner from Fibreworks cost $894, installing included. How are stair athletes installed?

Most homeowners aren’t aware that there are two styles of installing for stair runners: “Waterfall, ” in which the runner flows over the stairs and is tacked down at the base of each step; and “Hollywood, ” where the runner is tacked down around the tread and accommodates close to the risers.

“The decision usually depends on how your stairs are constructed, ” says Kirk. “If there’s a quarter-round molding under the nose of the tread, you use Waterfall so the carpet falls gracefully over that edge. If there’s no molding, you go with the more tight-fitting installation, Hollywood.”

Unseen staples typically hold the padding and athlete securely in place, though sometimes a “tackless strip” is used–a piece of timber that runs the thicknes of the steps and is studded with sharp nails or tacks. Typically, stair runners are installed over a padding or underlay, which both reduces noise and protects the carpet from wear. A bonus effect: cushioning makes stairs feel softer underfoot, a boon to newborn navigating on their hands and knees.

And what about those rods that hold stair athletes in place? “Maybe for a grand staircase in a house in Greenwich, Connecticut, ” says Kirk. “But they’re purely decorative.”

Above: A dramatic option, as seen in A Sympathetic Renovation in Stoke Newington, London. Is there a rule of thumb for how much of the tread should be covered?

“It depends how wide your stairs are, ” says Kirk. “In a three- to four-foot-wide staircase, you want to leave about three or four inches of wood exposed on either side. But if your stairs are five feet across, you’d adjust your athlete proportionally–maybe to a seven-inch expose on each side.”

As for “wall-to-wall” carpeting over stairs: “Nobody does that anymore, ” says Kirk.

Are stair athletes attained in standard widths?

They are. The Roger Oates flatweave, for example, comes in three thickness: 24 inches, 27 inches, and 33.5 inches. But you are able to have athletes made to order. “Often people buy broadloom and have it cut to size, ” says Kirk. In those cases, you’ll need to have the edges bound.

Above: A stair runner alternative, on the inexpensive. For more, ensure Remodeling 101: Nautical Stripes on the Stairs. How much does a stair athlete cost?

That depends on your selection of carpeting and the complexity of installation. “A standard-size runner is your most cost-effective choice, ” says Kirk. “But the labor always expenses more than the material.”

Kirk offers a ballpark calculate of $20 to $50 per square foot for broadloom, but that’s only the beginning. “The add-ons include padding, edging, and then the installation itself. If you have curved steps or landings, for example, pie-shaped pieces are needed to fit them.” And to get the job done right, you’ll want to hire experienced installers. That style your runner is sure to wear well and to enhance your home.

What if I favor bare stairs but like the look of a runner?

You can save money by simply painting a runner( or stripes) on the stairs, as in this Remodeling 101 post on Nautical Stripes on the Stairs. Just choose a coloring that contrasts nicely for the purposes of an instant athlete effect , no vacuuming needed.

Hallway Runner Rug Manufacturer In Melbourne - Rugaddiction

When choosing a suitable doorway runner rug, you should be aware of the difference between a doorway runner and a hallway runner. A doorway runner is simply the material used for making the flooring surface while a hallway runner is used for making a different area for giving one a more decorative look.

To understand this, think about how you would like to have your home decorated. Would you like to put on a design accent in every aspect, or would you prefer to do it in a few areas?

If you do want it to be decorated with designs and accents in the entire area then you can choose a great idea to adorn it. If you prefer to have it done in a single area then there are several manufacturers that you can consider. Most of them offer great floorings such as carpet, linoleum, wood, metal and vinyl materials.

Nowadays there are many manufacturers that sell the materials needed for creating a door runner. These materials include wood, vinyl, linoleum, metal, rugs, tiles, and stone. Depending on your budget, you can choose the material. The color of the materials will also depend on your taste.

On the other hand, if you would rather have colorful designs and patterns, then the better choice for you would be linoleum. It can give off a good look with the presence of neutral colors. Vinyl and linoleum are much expensive than the other materials, so you can also go for the fabric option.

When you select the proper materials and colors for the areas of your home, you should choose appropriate choices. Since both of these materials require different kinds of maintenance, you should choose a material that you can not only maintain but also repair at the same time.

Corrugated fiberboard and carpeting are two of the most common materials used for making a decorative floor. Carpet is known to last longer than corrugated fiberboard, and it is available in several colors. There are different types of carpets for different situations such as a living room, bathroom, hallways, kitchen, bedroom, living room, and children's rooms.

With carpet, you can install it wherever you need, and it is not a concern as to whether it would last for a long time. Corrugated fiberboard, on the other hand, needs specific cleaning and maintenance for its longevity. It is mainly made up of urea-urethane powder.

This material is more expensive than that of carpet and usually needs a lot of maintenance to maintain its durability. For instance, carpets require dirt to accumulate in their fibers and corrugated fiberboard would need vacuuming to make sure that the dirt gets removed. It is also said that corrugated fiberboard is not as durable as carpet as it is commonly known.

The best benefit is that this flooring material is a nice flooring for adults who would like to have a nice room. Parents who are tired of their children crying because of cold flooring can use this material for their children's bedrooms and other areas. Visit more

In order to choose the appropriate material, you can consult a professional carpet installer or you can do it yourself. Just remember that carpet is a hard flooring and it needs proper maintenance for its longevity. Corrugated fiberboard is often chosen by those who would like to decorate their home with easy and affordable materials that are available in various colors and designs.
