I’ve been inspired to write this by a friend of mine. His girlfriend asked me if I had any great gift ideas for his birthday.
Well when you look at his house (he’s a bachelor) you’re struck by how many gifts you could think of, just by looking at how he lives. His house is – well – politely, a little ordinary.
It needs to be livened up. It’s not that it’s a hovel, it’s just old, and needs to be brightened up. The walls need painting to a better color than the dirty color they are now, I think it’s cream. And the carpet has seen better days.
What did I suggest to her? An area rug. The carpet is really tired and lacks color. A great area rug will hide those stains and wear marks in the carpet and add color and style to the room. Of course it will take more than one rug to lift the whole house, it would take a complete overhaul. But one colorful stylish rug right in the middle of the room will do wonders.
I love area rugs and the way they lift the room, any room. Or perhaps a runner rug for a hallway. Or perhaps a round rug for under the table.Here’s a nice selection of cheap area rugs, I was surprised at how cheap they were actually.
So we’ll see how my friends gift is received.
