Fashioning Your Interior Style with Confidence

Celebrating World Pride 2023: Embracing Diversity in Australian Homes

In February 2023, Sydney is abuzz with excitement as it hosts World Pride for the very first time in the Southern Hemisphere. It's an opportunity to extend a warm welcome to people from around the world, inviting them to experience the rich tapestry of diversity and inclusion that Sydney and Australia proudly represent. In Australian homes, diversity isn't just a fact; it's our strength.

Pride vs. Conceit: Nurturing Your Home and Identity

At Rugs A Million, we believe that pride should never be mistaken for conceit. Pride, whether in your home or yourself, isn't about arrogance; it's about finding satisfaction and confidence in who you are and the spaces you inhabit. It's about embracing and cherishing your sense of self and your environment.

World Pride is a time for us all to reflect on how we connect with our own sense of pride, nurturing not only ourselves but also our homes.

For us, taking pride in your home and surroundings is about nurturing your sense of self and family by creating a space that truly reflects you. It's not about the price tag, the latest designer trends, or glitz and glamour. It's about how your home makes you feel. Whether you own your home or rent, it's still your sanctuary, and you have the power to make it a place you're proud of.

Creating a Home to Be Proud Of

Creating a home you're proud of can be achieved in many ways. Start by decluttering and organizing your living spaces based on their purpose and function. Consider multi-purpose storage solutions that not only look good but also help maintain order in your home.

Then, begin layering your design and style choices, starting from the ground up, with a focus on floor rugs.

Wood floors have a special place in Australian hearts, offering a wide variety of styles and looks to suit any taste. Classic floorboards provide a warm and inviting foundation from which to build. Consider options like Chevron patterns and Herringbone flooring to add interest and sophistication to your home.

In addition to traditional wood, explore the world of waterproof vinyl flooring, which mimics the look and feel of wood. Our Deco-consultants have the expertise to guide you through these options, so visit our store to explore them further.

Creating Sanctuaries with Rugs

Another fantastic way to craft a home you're proud of is by using rugs to define and enhance your spaces. Rugs can transform an entry hall into a dramatic welcome, a living room into a cozy haven, or a bedroom into a comforting sanctuary.

Rugs offer the versatility to add urban drama, coastal relaxation, or contemporary sophistication to your space. Whether placed on floorboards, tiles, or layered over carpet, rugs are a simple yet powerful way to refresh your home.

When choosing a rug, consider the room's purpose, which will influence the pile and size you select. Think about the color palette you want to incorporate or link within the room. Feel free to bring a picture of your room to our store and consult with our Deco-consultants, who can ensure you find the perfect match and feel for your space.

During your rug selection process, we encourage you to see them laid on the floor to get a real sense of size and scale. Our decoration consultants are dedicated to ensuring you see the choices in the right light, helping you make the best decision for your home.

You can even create your own 'mood board' in-store by combining wood floor samples, carpet options, and the rugs you're considering. With a few cushions in the mix, you'll be able to visualize your room's transformation.

As Australia celebrates World Pride, we open our doors and hearts to welcome everyone to our 'home.' Together, we celebrate the incredible diversity that defines not only Australia but also Australian homes.
