Luxe Design Trends: The Rug Redifined

 

Many of us grew up in homes with wall-to-wall carpeting and didn't know the beauty of a hardwood floor or the sleek, cool sense of calm produced by a floor of polished, painted or even raw concrete. But for the foreseeable future, wood, concrete, natural stone, porcelain tile, and even terrazzo flooring will dominate single family and multifamily luxury home interiors. And this development has given new emphasis on the use of and the correct selection of the area rugs. Finding the right area rug often requires one undertake a tedious journey into discussions of pile, durability, size, shape, pattern, texture, weight, dye, practicality, manufacturing processes and, last but not least, cost. Whether you gravitate towards antique low-pile or flat-weave rugs with a visible patina, deep shag retro rugs, or luxurious high-pile carpets, always insure that enough floor surrounds the carpet so that it doesn't overpower the space. As a general rule of thumb, appropriately sized shag or medium-to-high-pile carpets and those with bold patterns or textures, are most suitable in specialty rooms, to anchor a coffee table or to serve as the rooms focal point; but a flat-weave low-pile muted carpet, either antique or contemporary, flows more seamlessly into different design styles and the underlying flooring especially in high-use living/dining/family rooms, or even distinct sitting areas within a larger room. Let the journey begin!

Luxe Word from the President: Luxe Expands to Both Sales & Rentals 
 

David - Suit

This month we've launched our luxury "For Sale" Luxe List alongside our luxury "Rental" Luxe List. Luxelisthome.com is the first and only luxury segment specific website to feature luxury single family and luxury multifamily properties available for purchase and rental. For sale luxury properties will range in price from $1,000,000 to over $50,000,000 while luxury rental properties will continue range from $2,000 to over $100,000 per month. Luxe List Home now connects luxury Buyers, Realtors, Lessors and Luxury Renters more efficiently than any other online search engine. 

 

Although there are a variety of residential websites available, Luxe List Home is the only one that empowers visitor to sort by quality. Even more importantly, Luxe was derived from our customer's feedback which focused on the factors most important to them when they search for their very best home options. From that customer input we were able to derive our patent pending scoring methodology which enables us to certify listings as definitive luxury homes ensuring only the best of the best is showcased on the Luxe List.  www.luxelisthome.com 

 
As a reminder, all communities and homes showcased on the Luxe List are by invitation or nomination only. Please don't hesitate to let us know if you live in or know of a property you think should be included on one of our existing or upcoming city lists. If it's not yet on our radar and as a result of your nomination, we invite and include it on our list, you will receive a special gift!
