I’m getting ready to install new floors in my condo and I’ve been looking at the options at Tarkett. Tarkett offers a wide variety of flooring options: Fibrefloor, vinyl, laminate, wood and luxury tile.

I’m preparing to replace the laminate floor that’s currently in my condo with wood and while I’ve just begun looking at my options, below are the three colours/woods I’m considering … at the moment – these could change as I find more options! But for now, here are the three that have caught my eye. What’s your vote? Leave a comment and let me know! I need help deciding!

For some, a rug is a functional item to warm the floors, cover a stain or delineate a space. For others it’s an afterthought; a nice-to-have-but-not-necessary addition to a room. For others still, a rug is a statement; a bold declaration about style and aesthetic. It might be the special piece that an entire room is designed around or a find so beautiful it’s a guaranteed conversation starter. And for these people, there’s The Rug Company. With handmade designs from world-renowned designers like Vivienne Westwood and Diane Von Furstenberg, these fabulous rugs take rugs to a whole new level. And they’re super-exclusive, too, with stores in a handful of cities worldwide: London, New York, Los Angeles, Barcelona, Madrid, Moscow, Brussels, Copenhagen, Mexico, Oslo, Stockholm and Hong Kong. I can’t think of any better reason to hop on a plane to say, Barcelona, to check these beauties out.

I love beautiful wood floors in dark, rich tones. The older, the better. They can evoke a feeling of nostalgia and hold a history of homeowners past. But sometimes, even the most beautiful of floors need a rug to serve any number of purposes; delineating separate spaces, adding warmth underfoot or simply adding a burst of colour and personality to a conservative space. I love these contemporary patterns from Angela Adams. They’re bold but not brash and can add a touch of whimsy to a living room or bedroom. They’re 152×243 in size.
