The Humble Rug
Winter is on its way, Tasmania. Actually, scratch that, there’s early morning frost on many a car windscreen and not too many golden leaves left rolling about – Winter is already here! So aside from complaining about the icy wind and grey skies to strangers in crowded coffee shops, you’re probably also in the process of preparing your home for full family hibernation. This may mean checking all the windows for draughts, or packing up those Summer clothes, maybe you’re thinking of painting the kitchen a brighter colour to prolong the cheeriness for as long as possible? Yet what about turning your attention down.
How often do we reluctantly slide out of bed in the middle of the night for a quick run to the loo and wind up wondering how, in those 120 seconds, did you manage to get frostbit on your toes?! Or stepping out of a warm, refreshing shower just to get goosebumps trying to find anything but the bare floor to stand on? Do you find yourself walking around in your shoes because having socks on just doesn’t cut it? Winter hits our floors first, and it’s the first thing we should consider when preparing for the colder months.
Deloraine Carpet Centre have a range of luxurious floor coverings to suit any home and style – from deluxe Carpets to Regal Oak Timber, Vinyl options, Laminate and a large selection of Tiles. But what they also specialise in is – the humble Rug.
Rugs are fantastic – they come in so many sizes, shapes, designs and textures. The best thing is – you can place a rug here, move it to there, roll it up and put it down in another room, easily take it with you when you move, plus they’re so easy to have cleaned! Unlike carpet, you can change your mind about a rug, and it won’t cost you a massive amount. They’re just so versatile! And a rug also has the power to completely transform a room.
