The Perfect Gift for the Home Designer

Every Family has one. An obsessive Home Decorating Fanatic. You want to buy them something special. Something that is somewhere in the arena of home design, But What?

This is quite the predicament. What do you buy a compulsive home designer? Someone who dotes over their home like a middle-aged man with a new sports car. Last year you bought them that knick-knack thing but you haven't seen it since. The year before that you bought that new cleaning machine thingy, but they never use it. The holidays are fast approaching and you have to buy them something and you would like to buy something special for their home. But What? Maybe some paint. No. You can't just go out and buy paint for someone. You don't know what color to choose for them and any color you choose would probably be the wrong color. So I guess paint is off the list.

How about a tool of some kind? Well it's pretty hard to pick out a tool for someone else. You don't have any idea what kind of tools they have and what tools they might need to do home improvements. And tools just don't seem like a warm and thoughtful gift. Unless it is for your husband and you already know what tool he wants. How about some new curtains or blinds? No. You cannot just go out and buy another person window coverings without knowing what they want and spoiling the surprise.

To buy a gift for a person like this takes much thought and you are already stressed enough with all you have to do for the holidays. May I suggest a gift that is perfect for the DIY Home Designer, a gift that will truly be received with gratitude, love, and affection? What every home designer needs and will appreciate now and for many years to come. A gift that never goes out of fashion, and is multi-functional in any home.

Before I tell you what it is let me pass on my own experience with people who love me and try to buy me things to decorate or improve my home. Over the past few years at Christmas I have received from my children and grand-children an assortment of Flashlights. Does anyone need a flashlight because I must have twenty of them? I have also been given an assortment of multi-function screwdriver kits. Not the good kind that are really useful, but every sort of cheap un-useable screwdriver set that you can imagine. My family does try hard to get me something that I will appreciate, but since I am a Flooring Design Consultant they try to buy me things that will help around the house or at my job. Last Christmas I got a tape measure with a built in calculator that is so small it impossible to see without a microscope. Like I said, my family loves me and they try but there are just some things that you cannot buy for other people. Especially someone who is into home design, except for one gift, the perfect gift. A gift that I would appreciate, so I know many others would too.

That perfect gift is an Area Rug. Area rugs are versatile, mobile, and warm. Do you have a family member that has hard-surface flooring in their bedroom? An area rug right next to their bed would be well received. It would keep their warm feet from immediately touching the cold floor when they first wake up in the morning. Do you know someone who has a multi-function room and one part of the room needs to be defined as the family portion? An area rug will fit the bill. Do you know someone that just needs some spark and color in their home design? An area rug is perfect for that.

I know many of you are thinking that you would not know what color rug to buy. That is the easy part. Simply choose a color that accents their base colors (walls, furniture, decorations). Or buy a rug that is an accent color. Just work off their existing color palette and if you still have trouble deciding on color you can go to our web site where you can find tools to help you choose that perfect color for that somebody special this holiday season. We also carry an Exclusive selection of hand-picked rugs that will complement any home design scheme.

An area rug is the perfect gift for anybody that is hard to buy for. It is a warm and thoughtful way to say I love you. And by the way, do not buy a cheap olefin or polyester rug from some chain store that will wrinkle, crush and fade in a year. Buy a Quality rug, it doesn't cost much more to buy a wool rug with a fifteen to twenty-five year warranty from us. I wish you all a happy, warm and colorful holiday season and may all that you do to improve your home, or the home of a loved one, be a blessing to all.
