CHICAGO, Jan. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — If your New Year's resolution includes updating your home decor, a Chicago rug designer says it's easier than ever to bypass costly renovations and make small changes to bring big impact to a home.
Tam Wimolvan Vidulich, founder of Tam Wimolvan Vidulich (TWV) Carpets, has created four unique area rug collections, including her most recent Chromatica© collection, to please experienced or do-it-yourself designers alike. The versatile carpets offer a bold palette of colors and intricate designs inspired by the designer's global travels. TWV Carpets are made with premium, sustainable and renewable 100-percent New Zealand wool.
"Redecorating can be challenging because there are so many options," Vidulich says. "Before heading to your local home decor store to find a rug, I suggest homeowners take these five considerations to heart."
Vidulich recommends:
-
Keep Color in Mind
When adding a carpet to a furnished room, Vidulich recommends taking your existing color scheme into account and choosing an accent color to play up. If you're starting from scratch, she suggests selecting a color scheme and one piece of furniture to build around. -
Materials Matter
Vidulich recommends checking the material on any rug before buying. Natural fibers such as wool, sisal and bamboo are resilient and easy to maintain. -
Size It Up
To visualize the room with a rug, Vidulich says to create a template by combining recycled newspaper or fabric remnants on the floor in lieu of the rug to help you determine the shape and size you'll need. -
Be Prepared
Vidulich recommends bringing fabric samples, paint chips or color swatches during your shopping trip. -
Room to Breathe
When choosing a rug for under a dining table, the rug should be approximately three feet beyond the edge of the table to allow for chair movement.
