AS DAYLIGHT hours shorten and the days and evenings become cooler, it is time to prepare ourselves and our homes for winter.
The home is a haven from the world for families, and coming home is a different experience in the colder winter months than during the summer. It’s all about finding a gentle transition and balance.
Enjoy crisp mornings and cosy evenings indoors by making your home cosy with some simple changes to your decor.
By using a combination of rugs over hard flooring, and some throw rugs and scatter cushions for chairs and couches, you will instantly create a level of texture that feels warm and inviting.
Warmer toned timber for your flooring will also bring an element of warmth to your home.
Carpet Court can supply and install a wide range of engineered timbers from nine very reputable suppliers.
These have a thin top layer of the genuine timer, be it an oak or one of the Australian native species, with multiple layers of lacquer to toughen the surface, laminated on multiple layers of plywood.
These flooring timbers are installed on an underlay for added insulation, sound reduction and as a moisture barrier.
They can be laid on the diagonal and some ranges are designed to be installed in the herringbone or parquetry style.
Engineered timbers can withstand several sandings and can be revarnished over time, to ensure longevity.
The new Parky range is something very different, with an extraordinarily hard surface on a unique heavy-duty base. Please call into one of our stores to enquire and see this range of hard flooring.
The addition of a luxurious textured floor rug will then give added warmth and the ultimate look of luxury. Rugs from our Darren Palmer or Weave collections are ideal.
We are seeing a trend back to the natural earthy tones in interior decor.
Rugs are available in many autumn and natural tones, including terracotta bases, and bed linen and paint colours are trending in the soft beige, peach, light brown and mocha tones.
Of course, carpets are the ultimate in creating a cosy look and feel in your home and these are now coming back to some apricot, beige and tan shades.
Beautiful chunky loop pile ranges in wool from Hycraft, Feltex and Bremworth are luxurious.
These carpet styles are on show in our Kadina and Port Pirie stores and the most extensive range can be viewed at the Clare Carpet Court store.
Don’t neglect your windows. More than just controlling privacy and light, window furnishings can make a huge difference to your room temperature.
Drapes and pelmets can be added to create an extra visual layer, so it feels like a cocoon when they are closed.
The insulation they provide saves on heating costs in autumn and winter and the colour of the drapes will add to a room’s ambience.
Call into a Carpet Court store to discuss your unique situation.
Our sales consultants and interior specialists will be pleased to assist you prepare for the cooler months, and beyond.
Many of these products feature in Carpet Courts’ Midyear Sale, so you can be sure of great value with your upgrade during June.
