Rugzone.co.uk is often the first stop for the interior designers of the
ITV’s popular daytime TV show “The 60 Minute Makeover”. If you are
unfamiliar with the show it is a lifestyle show where there are usually
four rooms in a home completely redecorated and refurnished in 60
minutes, or two sessions of 30 minutes. It’s a tall order and often a
pleasant surprise to the unsuspecting householder.
With such stringent time restraints you can imagine that rugs will be a
popular option for designers to give a tired room a brand new look. As
many of the rooms decorated have existing ,
rugs make the ideal companions. The shows designers make excellent use
of modern wallpapers, curtains and furnishing to create rooms with a
totally modern and different look and the rugs on the floor along with
pictures on the walls give the rooms that finishing touch.
By
far the most popular style of rug used by the shows designers is Shaggy
rugs or Shag pile rugs. They range form standard machine made shaggy
rugs to hand tufted rugs, leather shaggy rugs produced with rough cut
waste leather and new generation sparkling polyester that are hand hooked or hand knotted by Indian Craftsmen.
In the conventional rug styles black is becoming increasingly popular
with designers. Modern and transitional designs offer the designers a
great median, often using them in conjunction with matching feature
wallpaper to make stark contrasts against wood flooring and lighter
furnishings.
In many rooms the designer will want to make a bold statement
with a contemporary modern design and look either towards the wool and
acrylic abstract handmade rugs or the ultra modern machine made rugs
that use sharp coloured polypropylenes. On the odd occasion a room may
be better suited to a traditional rug, and in many and again it is not
uncommon for the designer to choose a traditional rug with a black
theme.
Generally pattern and texture is the first thing the designer will look
for, but in many cases there is another important element why
RugZone.co.uk become the designer’s choice. Fast Delivery; Rug Zone are
a dedicated Internet sales operation with literally thousands of rugs
available for immediate dispatch. A rug ordered before 2pm in normally

deadline.
The show will end with a walk around by the surprised householder who
has usually just popped out on a shopping trip or a day with the kids.
As the presenter takes the householder from room to room she explains
what the room was like and what has been done. It is usually the
finishing touches that are the thing that draws the most attention from
the householder, a few cushions here, a window blind, a picture or
mirror hanging on the wall and of course a beautiful rug on the floor
What TV shows such as 60-minute makeover prove is accessorising a room
doesn’t actually mean spending a fortune, with careful planning you can
change the look of room without the expense of decorating or changing
furniture. Simple accessories such as cushions and rugs can give a room
a brand new look in under a minute.
