A lovely client chose the rug she liked over the one I recommended..which is fine, Im not a dicator BUT her cat may have backed up my reasoning..😺

It’s a good reminder that choosing a rug isn’t just a colour decision. The fibre and the weave matter just as much, especially with pets or young children at home.

Jute, sisal, seagrass and shaggy rugs all look gorgeous, but they’re some of the hardest to keep clean.
A wool rug, or a good solution dyed synthetic, holds up far better in a busy, pet friendly home.

Swipe through for what to actually look for when choosing a rug, from fibre and weave to getting the colour and tone right against your floor and furniture.

If you’re picking a rug for a busy home and want a second opinion before you buy, send me a message.

The Ideal Home Show 2026 at the RDS Dublin runs from 16-18th October, and if you're planning going this year, there's a short list worth going through before you go.

Most of the advice for home shows is the obvious stuff, bring a tape measure, don't buy on impulse. True, but not what actually catches people out, especially when you're so excited to get some sort of work completed in your home!

🛋Here's what I'd tell a client before the 16th. Showroom stands are built around the pieces within them to make them look their best for selling, so furniture that looks right there can read totally different in your own home.

💡The lighting is chosen to make finishes pop, often cooler and brighter than what you'll live with day to day, so that paint or fabric will shift once it's under your own lamps.
Also ask for the spec sheet, not just the swatch, how something looks on the day tells you a lot less than its durability.

A home show is brilliant for ideas. It's not where the final decisions should necessarily get made, unless you are 100% sure and have planned to make certain purchases/decisions on the day.

Seeing something at the RDS you're not sure about? Send me a photo, happy to give you my honest opinion.

🫒Behr has announced Grounded as its 2027 Colour of the Year, a deep, muted green with earthy brown undertones.

If you love the look but want paints you can actually buy in Ireland, there are some very good alternatives from Colourtrend, Farrow & Ball and Fleetwood.

The important bit is this: don’t just search “olive green paint”. Grounded is darker, browner and more muted than many classic olives, and that undertone is what will decide whether a similar shade works in YOUR home.

Irish light can make greens read cooler, muddier or more yellow depending on the room, so always look at the undertone, not just the name on the tin.

Save this if you’re choosing a deep green for your home.
