Tuesday's Tip: Bare it All

Tuesday, November 8, 2011


I recently have been so drawn to bare floors! As a designer, the carpet or area rug is usually the first place you start when you create a space, but what about forgoing it altogether? I thought at first it might be cold or barren but when done right - I think the lack of a floor covering is so breezy and chic! 

 3 tips to make this look work at home:

{1} Be sure the room has plenty of other textiles, fabrics, or upholstery - this will soften the look
{2} Don't worry if your floors are not perfect - if they have patina and and you love them, then go for it 
{3}  Fill the space with extra visual interest and texture from art and accessories - this will create a lovely contrast with the bare floors below!









Kind of freeing right!? If this look is not totally for you, a great solution is to add a few small vintage throw rugs or sheepskins just where you need them most!
