Floor Makeover (Ho-Hum to WOW) in Doylestown, PA by Bucks County Rugstore Brandon Oriental Rugs
Look what you could be doing with your home. You can make your world your way with REAL handmade oriental rugs from Brandon Oriental Rugs (www.BrandonRugs.com).
This is another "How-to Video" regarding use of REAL Handmade Oriental Rugs from Bucks County, PA oriental rug store Brandon Oriental Rugs (serving Bucks and surrounding counties in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.)
This video deals with a major home-makeover in a Doylestown, PA home that included a floor covering upgrade. Carpet which covered the floors of the home's conjoined living and dining rooms was lifted and replaced with coordinated hand-knotted oriental rugs from Brandon Oriental Rugs. The video displays the big improvement in the look and "feel" of the two rooms imparted by the quality choice of the homeowners.
Wall-to-wall carpet failed to give definition to the rooms. With carpet, the space looked like a single, large room with lotsa different furniture shoved into it. The oriental rugs clearly define and delineate two separate rooms with distinct uses. The rugs themselves are individually unique, but united across the space by shared colors, textural quality and clarity of design. They bring focus and an inviting intimacy to the rooms.
If your floors are naked and uncovered; ho-hum plain with wall-to-wall carpet; or look shabby from cheap area rugs, consider what REAL ORIENTAL RUGS could accomplish in your home. Brandon Oriental Rugs has a host of services to make the experience of shopping-for and choosing fine quality rugs as enjoyable as owning them.

The interior of your home says a lot about you. Your home is your castle. Many of my clients have said they couldn’t imagine the results after their project was completed. They say it was the WOW factor. I say, that is why you hired a professional designer.
There are many situations that warrant the hiring a professional interior designer. This includes something as simple as choosing paint and window covering to full scale renovation work such as a new kitchen, bath or lower level. In addition to achieving that WOW factor, a professional interior designer will save their clients’ money in many ways, most importantly the avoidance of costly mistakes.
Not only will a professional designer understand the context of the project, they will have access to many resources and their trained eye can make a world of difference in the final result. And those final results also will improve the value of your home.
Professional interior designers are able to work closely with architects and contractors and are comfortable with drawing floor plans, as well as understanding the implications of how interiors will be used as it relates to structural and available floor space.
Beyond floor plans, program management, installation and understanding how structural design will be used in a practical setting, a professional interior designer will also be knowledgeable in color and fabric design, space planning, window coverings, furniture design, architecture and much more. So when you see the initials ASID and NCIDQ next to an interior designer’s name, know they have been through significant amount of formal certification.
When hiring a professional interior designer, it is important to have an understanding of the scope of the work to be done. Before my initial meeting with a new client, I ask them to spend some time making a list of their needs as well as any pictures they saved of items or rooms they like. Upon our first meeting, I take photos and measurements. Together,we then develop a detailed itemized list covering all areas of concern. The next step is to draw up and present a floor plan. Depending on the type of project this could include floor plans and furniture placement as well as construction and lighting if needed.
Once the plan is approved appropriate furnishings and finishes are selected. This can be fun - and exhausting as well. I often present my clients with many samples from which to choose. After the furniture choices, I develop a comprehensive budget itemizing all purchases.
I also may call on several of the contractors I work with such as electricians, plumbers, cabinet wholesalers and cabinet makers, painters, as well as drapery workrooms and installers. It has taken many years to compile trusted associates, which is an important part of being a good designer.
Lead times for good furniture and furnishings can take from 6-12 weeks depending on availability. This extra time gives sufficient time to finish the required preparatory work, and allows clients time to dispose of old furniture.
