We are rug lovers, and that is not a secret – we believe that rugs can make any space more comfortable and add the touch of boldness that an area needs. We know that staging a rug can sometimes look like a challenging task – but the truth is that it’s simpler than you think. This article will reveal the secret and teach you how to stage a rug like a pro. Keep reading to discover everything you need to have a flawless home with the perfect rug. 1. Determine the right size A key aspect of staging a rug like a pro is determining the correct size; for that, you will need to keep the room’s space in mind. Two interior design concepts are essential in this aspect: proportion and scale. The scale refers to how an item relates to the size of the room, while the proportion is directly related to how an object is related to another in a room. These two principles are essential to achieving the right balance in a room. To use these principles while decoring your home, it’s necessary to consider size, furnishing, height, white space, patterns, and repetition. With that in mind, it will be much easier to find the rug size that better suits your space. 2. Use rugs to highlight an area Do you know rugs can be your best allies in highlighting an area? The right rug can anchor your space, and for it, our tip is to, first of all, arrange your furniture in a living and then add an area rug to highlight a space. One concept in interior design that can also help: is emphasis. In other words, you can use a rug to draw attention to a specific space area, creating visual interest. 3. Use a rug to create contrast Another tip to help you to stage a rug like a pro is to use it to create contrast in your room. To help you with that, take note of what is the contrast in interior design. Contrast is when two different elements with opposing characteristics place together; in interior design, this principle can make a space more attractive. The contrast is one of the secrets to a flawless home; it can add a dose of visual interest and bring intensity to an area. This principle can be achieved through elements like color, pattern, and shape. So before choosing your rug, remember those aspects to glam up your home. 4. Pay attention to the style coordination All your home decor choices – from the rug to the furniture and accessories may be part of a grand narrative. Every choice in a home interior design should match – when choosing the perfect rug for your space, you should pay attention to the style of the house. In other words, for an ideal home, it’s essential to take care of harmony and unity. 5.

Memphis or Art Deco? Both have bold forms as common characteristics and leave their mark on history. When it comes to interior design, there are always a lot of styles to have in mind, and if you have ever found yourself asking the question Memphis or Art Deco, what to choose and why? This article is for you. But, if you have never asked yourself this question, this article is also for you- cause you are about to learn more about each style. Memphis Guide What is Memphis Design Style? Memphis design is a postmodern style that emerged from the Memphis Milano; this famous collective was founded by Ettore Sottsass and revolutionized the design world between 1981 and 1987. This iconic style uses bright neon, primary and pastel colors, geometric shapes, and bold, repetitive patterns. Memphis is a bold style that was born as a reaction to the linear mid-century modern aesthetic from the 50s and 60s, as well as to the 70s minimalism. Milano Collective works in this anti-design movement and creates daring furniture inspired by the 20s Art Deco and mid-century Pop Art. Memphis Design Style Characteristics The bright colors and bold shapes make it easy to identify a Memphis Design; therefore, these characteristics of the style usually incorporate these key elements: bold patterns, round borders, curves, surprisingly color combinations, simple geometric shapes, and black and white graphics. Memphis Style in Interior Design When Ettore Sottsass and his collective of designers started to develop the Memphis Style, the usability of the furniture wasn’t a concern for them – the priority was the design. Nowadays, the style is an inspiration for great designers who want some touches of boldness to their interior projects. Some ways to use the Memphis inspiration to get a stylish touch to your project but without going excessively bold is to choose Memphis-inspired furniture, shaped rugs, and use bright colors and patterns to highlight the interior. Art Deco Guide What is Art Deco Style? Art Deco is an artistic, architectural, and decorative style that emerged at the beginning of the 20s – it’s also known for its refinement, elegance, and geometric patterns. Therefore this style dates from the 20s; the term Art Deco first appeared in the 60s, referring to the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts and Modern Industries, which took place in Paris in 1925. Art deco remains by the passion for geometric and fragmented forms, but in a smaller perspective than the Cubism movement. To better understand this style, some people used to refer to this as a Cubism transition. Another highlight is the focus on usability that this style usually has. Art Deco Style Characteristics Now it’s time to talk about the main characteristics of Art Deco. Some highlights of this style that we already mentioned are the focus on usability and the use of geometric and fragmented forms. Therefore, this style emphasizes symmetry, layered shapes, line art, and metallic colors like gold. Art Deco in Interior Design Art Deco style goes beyond interior design and influences other aspects such as fashion and car design. Embellishing a home with this style means embracing the history of the 20s and 30s. An Art Deco-inspired house presents a bold and powerful look with a touch of romance. To active this style, it’s crucial to seek furniture and accessories that highlight the main characteristics of Art Deco, including zigzag patterns, triangular shapes, stylized wildlife, and chevron patterns, for example. For an Art Deco-inspired home, another essential attention is to the material used in the interior. The most commons are upholstery fabrics for seating, stainless steel, marble, mirror, glass, and lacquer for furnishings and accessories. Memphis or Art Deco? Now it’s time to answer your question: Memphis or What Deco? What to Choose and Why? We have two notes for you. First, we would like to clarify that there is no correct answer for this query – it will depend on your style and which one of those fits your home and personality better. Second, there is no rule for home decor – so you can have more than one style in your residence (but try not to be overwhelmed with much information). Memphis or Art Deco? As we notice in this article, both styles have bold forms and hint at cubism inspiration. One of the significant differences between those styles is that while Memphis started with a total focus on design, Art Deco was born with a focus on usability. Both are bold styles, but they have a different visual impact – Memphis has a modernist appeal, and Art Deco has a flair for romance. While Memphis highlights bright and vibrant colors, Art Deco features luminous colors and deep yellows, reds, greens, and pinks mixed with silver, black, and chrome.

The Parisian lifestyle is associated with buying finer things. Luxurious surroundings, refined indulgences, and a fondness for beautiful goods may spring to mind. But it’s unusual to come across a project that completely embodies them all. This French design firm Le Berre Vevaud designed this luxurious Parisian home. Raphaël and Thomas stated that they wanted to create a family home that reflected their essence. It belongs to art collecting couples and their two children. In the first place, the designers needed to turn this Parisian home functional. The duo got surprised by the dimension of the house and its brightness. Starting with the first floor, the living area, dining room, kitchen, the designers planned an open layout to maximize the natural light. Moving forward, Raphaël and Tho incorporated a mezzanine to break up the six-meter-high ceiling. That included a high platform with a view of the dining room. Therefore turned into an office. While the mezzanine allowed breaking the high ceiling, the adjoining walls meant the creation of a larger room too. Additionally, the two big public rooms’ frame views add the same effect. From the living room, you can see the dining area. Le Berre Vevaud incorporated a cloudy gold leaf by Anne Féat Gaiss in the dining room. Below they added a black round-legged Olbia cabinet from their collection; minimal Sophie SÁssoit chairs from Maison Dadad surround a bespoke marble table. PICK INSIDE THIS LUXURY PARISIAN HOME In the opposite direction of the living room, there is a mural artwork by Martin Beger, a black wood sculpture by Charles Kalpakian, armchairs by Ignazio Gardella, and a coffee table by Yann Dessauvage. On the opposite direction of the living room, there is a mural artwork by Martin Berger, black wood sculptures by Charles Kalpakian, Ignazio Gardella armchairs, and a cantilevered bronze coffee table by Yann Dessauvage. Finally, Raphaël and Thomas added a partition to the sitting area and entrance elevator. The architectural brilliance of Le Berre Vevaud converted the majestic townhouse into a family home. Plus, their ability to interpret the couple’s massive art collection in a domestic context distinguished their work.
