Explaining Natural Fiber Rugs

Fiber rugs are beautiful and add texture to any style of room. They provide elegance and/or a casual look depending on the placement. There are many designs of natural fiber rugs. Geometric patterns are very decorative even if they are neutral in color.  Shades of khaki, beige, taupe, and off white are typical for this type of rug material.

Rich but subtle, these rugs are versatile and timeless.

But what are the differences between all the natural rug fibers?  And how do I know which one is right for my situation?

There are many interesting patterns, textures, and colors to chose from.

Empty Nesters Gain “Grown Up” Bedrooms

Recently a client contacted us wanting to update the bedrooms in her home. She and her husband are now empty nesters and it was definitely time to transform these rooms from the childhood bedrooms to more “grown up” guest rooms. She wanted to keep all of her existing furniture – mostly inherited traditional pieces.  The childhood paraphernalia was boxed up and old toys donated.

New coverlets, draperies, lamps and chair fabrics did a lot to transform these two guest rooms into elegant accommodations.

Refresh It!

Many of our clients have wonderful furniture, whether they have acquired it from family, or from former work with Pulliam Morris. After ten or more years of loving and using their furniture, it sometimes needs to be refreshed. Such was the case with this couple’s den in the Midlands of South Carolina.

A new sofa was ordered, for the old one was lovingly worn. We selected a Vanguard sofa with a high back and decorative trim braid to be the hub of this family’s gathering space.
