If you’re looking for a rug that is both eco-friendly and durable, look no more!  Seagrass area rugs are very textural rugs that add a lot of dimension into a room.  It’s also a good addition for doorway entries or porches.  Another pro about these rugs is that they have latex backing, so you won’t easily slip up on them and they will stay in place.

A lot of care is put into the process of creating a seagrass rug.  Seagrass is harvested by hand and hand woven to thick strands that are really tough and durable.  Such a careful process ensures that your rug will definitely be long lasting.

Seagrass rugs are also a good way to incorporate a nature-esque feel into your home.  Even if it its dyed a different color, the hues of its original colors (beige, yellow, and/or green) will still blend in, so a lot of times the color and hues of each rug differ from each other.

What are little boys made of? Slugs and snails and puppy dog tails… Take your cue from this popular nursery rhyme when decorating a boy’s bedroom. Lots of bugs and slugs and things that go vroom are the mainstay of any boy’s bedroom.

Keep one eye on the present and one on the future when decorating your son’s bedroom. Boys outgrow the cute and cuddly stage overnight and will very soon be mortified to bring friends over to a room that is oh-so-cute and embarrassing.

A child’s bedroom is his sanctuary. It’s a place to daydream and make-believe in. It is important that a child’s bedroom should be a reflection of his personality. A racing aficionado would be delighted to have a bedroom full of race cars whereas a budding aviator would love to soar high with aircrafts flying off from the curtains, ceilings and every corner of the bedroom.

When decorating your son’s bedroom, take your cues and get your inspiration from his personality. There are plenty of great themes that can be used to make a boy’s bedroom a special one-of-a-kind space meant just for him. Make judicious choices when selecting furniture and accessories and look for stuff that can be adapted as your son grows or as his preferences change.

Water Baby Ahoy!

Whether you live along the coast or not, your water baby can still spend hours in a room full of boats and seashells and fish. Walls the color of the ocean, with a border of sail boats, colorful fishes or a variety of shells can bring the beach right into your home. Get a colorful surf-board and put it up on one wall. Find a blue kids area rug for the floor. Shells in an assortment of shapes and sizes are a versatile decorative element in any beach-themed room. If he is really passionate about fish, an aquarium and blue area rugs would be just right for completing this picture-perfect room.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

There’s no dearth of choice, whether you are looking for wallpaper, fabric, boys area rugs, bedding or accessories that feature transportation themes of any kind. Mix and match bright colors and prints with a few solid colors that work together to complete the theme room. If aircrafts are a pet passion, hang a few airplanes from a blue ceiling and complete the décor with a few carefully assembled model aircrafts. A train track border around the room can provide hours of fun and games to any train-lover. Black-and-white checkered flags and a finish line are a must for a bedroom that belongs to a racing car enthusiast. A car shaped bed and a wall unit specially designed to proudly display that collection of mini race-cars could tie in all the racing elements.

Boys Digger Rug

Pirates, Cowboys and Knights

Which little boy has not at some time or the other dreamed of being a pirate, a cowboy or a knight? For a little wanna-be-pirate, a room full of portholes and ship masts, treasure chests and gold coins and plenty of secret hideaway places will provide hours of uninterrupted pleasure. A bedroom can easily be converted into a castle with ‘castle-walled’ wallpaper. Complement that with swords, shields, helmets and knight-themed murals (like this dragon fighting mural or this castle wall mural) .

Let your imagination run wild for a bedroom that is a cowboy’s domain- rope-bordered walls, tin stars and horses everywhere, bandana valances for the curtains and a big Stetson hanging on the wall. While you may want to pass on the guns a ‘Wanted Dead or Alive’ poster with your son’s face featured on it, will put the cowboy stamp on the room.

A Bug’s Life

From slugs and snails to bees and ants, little boys are often enthralled by these fascinating little creatures. Go with it and chose from a wide range of buggy bedding, pillow covers and curtains. A lady-bug photo frame or clock and a pair of snail book-ends would fit in perfectly with the theme.

Back in the day, kitchens could hardly be called stylish. It was a place to cook and eat, not to show off your sense of style. But that was ages ago—today’s kitchens are just as much about aesthetics as they are about function. Fortunately for homeowners, designers are rolling out new ideas all the time, so keeping with the trend is a breeze. If you think you can’t dress up your kitchen without slowing down, try these few simple ideas.

Modern Kitchen Countertops

Laminate is the popular choice for countertops, but it lacks the punch of modern materials such as granite, marble, or solid surface. Modern homes usually prefer granite for its high durability and attractive colors. You can find granite countertops in black, green, red, and even a mix of translucent colors. If you’re going for a sleek theme, look into solid surface countertops. The straight, simple lines make a nice complement to the natural curves of your kitchen layout.

Area rugs

Large kitchens are great, but all that space can be hard to manage. Kitchen area rugs help divide your floor area into manageable portions, so that your work is more organized. Bamboo area rugs work well if you’re going for an Asian theme, and jute and seagrass area rugs will suit a country or natural kitchen. They also work well for smaller rooms—look for kids area rugs that fit on your floor space and blend in with your kitchen décor.

Sleek cabinets

Storage is the most important element in the kitchen. You want everything within easy access, but that often means having big cabinets that get in the way of your décor. If you have a similar problem, consider getting modern wall-mounted cabinets to hold your commonly used items. An island bar can hold an open hanging shelf for goblets, wine bottles, or even kitchen utensils. If you have enough floor space, consider displaying your favorite items on a freestanding shelf—it makes for an interesting focal point.

Fancy patterns

Patterns can bring your colors to life and make your kitchen more interesting. Instead of plain tile, line your backsplash area with accent tiles that complement your color theme. Decorate a bare floor with oriental area rugs or colorful braided area rugs. Replace blinds with soft printed curtains. Use patterns where you can, but make sure not to go overboard or you’ll end up with a messy design. Combine solids and prints and keep a consistent color throughout the pattern.

Country Style Kitchens

For years, the trend has been towards edgy minimalist designs with lots of straight lines, sharp contrast, and bare space. Contemporary design is about bringing warmth and color back into the home—think country kitchens complete with hearths and chimneys. Try introducing more wood into your kitchen, whether in your cabinets, your countertop, or your island counter. If you can afford it, install some hardwood floors—it’s much homier than ceramic tile. Just add some wool area rugs to minimize the daily wear and make it last longer.
