Karsten's New Rugs...

Karsten, our store owner, just installed some new rugs in his own home. These beauties come from our fabulous new rug collection, Surya!

Lookin' good!

The graphic pattern of this rug brings contemporary appeal to an otherwise traditional interior.

You might have also noticed a few other Harvest furnishings in our store owner's home...

All look great with the new rug!

This vibrant, striped rug brings color to the kid's room, provides a soft surface to play on, and will hold up to years of wear and tear in this high-traffic kid zone!

Current Project: Chillax Basement

I was recently asked to put together some ideas for a newly-remodeled basement lounge area. The homeowners have created a space that their teenage children refer to as the "Chillax" room, a space where one can "chill-out" with friends and "relax", escaping the stress of life as a teen. The kids wanted to create a "modern" vibe, with sleek textures, clean lines, and minimal ornamentation. The existing charcoal gray sectional and flat screen TV are the anchors in the room.

To warm up the aesthetic a bit, I've suggested adding some more natural elements (like the off-white cowhide area rug, the driftwood sculpture, leather cocktail ottoman, etc.) To add function for light dining and a work surface for games and/or school projects, we opted for a pub-height table in the snack area to create a more swanky, lounge type feel. The second idea board below offers alternative dining and occasional pieces surrounding the same anchored gray sectional.

So....Yes, Harvest can do eco-modern too!

Do you have a favorite among the two schemes?
