Enhance your styling with beautiful interior accessories.. Today I want to start with rugs…
The importance of texture and warmth that a rug can create. It is not just an accessory , it can really define a space.
A large rug in a living room can unify the space and can be a focal point in the room. To make an area look bigger, place the rug under the feet of your couch so that they’e connected.
WHAT IS THE RIGHT STYLE FOR EACH ROOM?
Living room
A rug with strong graphics can work as a centerpiece. In an area with minimal traffic, a tightly-knotted Oriental rug will bring visual warmth.
Bedroom
Depending on the space, a woven rug such as a hand-knotted silk piece in sensual tones can set the mood.
Hallway
A floor runner with a durable heavy-duty fibre.
Playroom
Cut and loop piles with mottled colours will be good as staining will be less visible.
A TIP ON INSTANT STAIN REMOVAL
Bicarbonate of soda, white vinegar and liquid soap!
RUG TYPES!
Hand-knotted: Traditional rugs in which each knot is individually tied
Hand-tufted: Yarn is pushed through a backing with a tufting gun
Woven: A traditional rug made on a loom, where the yarn is woven through the backing fibres
I love a cowhide rug. What do you think?

I can highly recommend Lindy as an Interior Designer. I contacted her when we decided to do some home renovations. She turned our renovation into an amazing project. There was a lot of planning and problem solving involved in the project. The walls that we wanted to knock down to make an open space living area were all weight bearing and supporting the roof. She planned a beautiful fireplace to hide the beam that was needed to support the roof structure. The fireplace is now the heart of our home and a stunning feature that we enjoy everyday. She helped me select paint colours, window treatments and helped with the choice of flooring. She helped me plan my kitchen which is now the place I love most! My kitchen is beautiful but also practical and highly functional. The styling accessories that she picked was beautiful and affordable. She always kept our budget in mind. She was punctual for appointments and highly professional. She sent me request updates and ideas via email. The project turned out amazing. I cannot stop looking at my new beautiful house. I will definitely recommend Lindy as she will turn your project into a dream project.

Working with Lindy was an absolute pleasure! She came to the rescue when I needed urgent help to decorate my mother's unit. Decisions had to be made within days and she was there to help. Within a week we had a total concept plan and the whole process was finished inside a month. Lindy is the most efficient designer I've ever dealt with and fulfilled our brief of creating a warm and cosy environment for my mum.

We were looking to refresh our house with new paint colours and I had previously found it hard with placement of decorator items so wanted some ideas and guidance. Lindy came to our home and gave me excellent advice on where to splurge and where to save and was very mindful of our budget. Lindy gave recommendations on where to buy items, offered to shop with me and invited me to send pictures of items to give feedback as she knew exactly what items and sizes would fit in an area. I would highly recommend Lindy, I found her to be very professional, so helpful and easy to work with and her prices are very reasonable.

I found Lindy to be a very personable and a knowledgeable designer. With insight into the type of design I wanted she developed a range of suggestions to suit my home and my price range. I would highly recommend her services for those wanting to deal with an experienced interior designer who will patiently listen to your ideas and incorporate those into her plan for your home. Her customer service was fantastic and I will definitely be using her services again in the future.

Lindy was professional and very enthusiastic. Which was the best thing about her. She took the time to understand what I wanted and catered her design advice accordingly. Provided honest opinions and willing to cater to the budget available. Willing to go the extra mile to help with fabric selection, color etc. It was just the first meeting but looking at the great energy she had, I considered working with her for future events.

My partner and I were conscious of our budget and were seeking design advice at one off cost. In the 2 hours, we covered a lot of ground. Lindy easily found solutions for design challenges we were having with our small renovation and also helped us narrow down our paint colours with ease. We feel much more confident moving forward.

When we moved into our new house there were so many things to think about. But with Lindy's help it made our job so much easier. Lindy had alot of great ideas and we ended up with a fantastic result. From our colour co-ordination to furniture to where to shop. Lindy was invaluable.
