The debate between an area rug or wall-to-wall carpet is still alive and kicking. You might be surprised to know there is actually a big difference between the two. They are similar but so contrasting at the same time. 🤔

Carpet is a wall-to-wall rug covering the entire surface of the floor. If you live in a colder climate or love the plush feel of something soft under your toes, installing carpet in your home can be a good choice. 🏠

The most impactful or useful areas to install carpet would be the living room or bedroom. It creates a more cozy, cocoon-like vibe. It also serves as a sound barrier for your home. Carpets can absorb noises and keep large spaces from any echoes or loud footsteps, especially for those living in a two-story house. 🛌

There are some negatives to installing wall-to-wall carpet throughout the home or purchasing a home with existing carpet. If you buy a home that already has it, you are left not knowing the condition or the wear it has gone through. In general, carpet traps dirt, dust, and sometimes mites. 🪳

An area rug is a smaller piece of carpet that comes in many sizes and is designed to accent a room but not intended to stretch throughout the home. Area rugs are more versatile and offer a variety of patterns and colours. They can add warmth and texture to your space, especially if you have wood or tile flooring. ☑️

It completes the design of each room, creating a cushy and finished look. You will often notice homeowners who layer rugs under the sofa and armchairs in a living room. They also look fabulous when laid under a dining table or placed in front of your kitchen sink or bathroom vanity. Rugs in these locations work to absorb any water or dirt that normally takes place during daily tasks. 🛋

The benefit to adding area rugs in your home, as opposed to wall-to-wall carpet, is that you can sometimes machine wash them or even replace them often at a lower cost. Wall-to-wall is more permanent and expensive, but area rugs can move to different locations in the home or be changed out. 😊

Having shared the plans for both units and recently revealing the render for Unit 1, we’re completing the picture with a first look at the renders for Unit 2. 😊

Set against its natural surroundings, this design combines warm stone, generous glazing and relaxed, modern lines to create a home that feels grounded in its setting while still making a statement. 🏡

If your bedroom could use a bit of a refresh but you aren't looking to invest a ton of money into the process, don't worry, as there are so many amazing ways to make your sleep space feel nice and fresh without breaking the bank. 😄

We've sharing our favourite budget-friendly decor ideas that will ensure that your bedroom feels a bit more personalized and styled: 👇

☑️ INSTALL A MURAL
Wallpaper often costs a pretty penny, so if you love the look but can't commit to covering all four walls of your bedroom, why not opt for the next best thing—a wall mural?

☑️ PAINT AN ARCH
Add some energy to your bedroom while also using up extra paint by incorporating an arch design. This will add visual interest to your sleep space. Painting one directly behind your bed creates a faux headboard effect.

☑️ MAKE YOUR OWN ART
Rather than shelling out thousands for a high-end art piece, consider making your own! Purchase a blank canvas from the craft store and have fun experimenting with your own abstract designs.

☑️ STENCIL YOUR WALL
Give your walls a makeover with the help of some paint and stencils. This creates the effect of wallpaper yet can easily be painted over should your style change.

☑️ GO GREEN WITH PLANTS
Decorative objects can be expensive, but small plants are generally affordable and will work wonders in adding personality to your sleep space. Place them in cute pots that complement your aesthetic.

A set of plans tells the story. 📑 A render brings it to life.🏡
