I recently invested in a modern rug for the house! For years I dealt with a gray tile that could certainly be cleaned up… The tile was practical for having a pet and many youngsters, then sand, dirt, hair and grime never showed on that tile, then it could be scrubbed and take any sort of cleaning product. It wasn’t all that pretty though. I had to get a brown color that matched the outside dirt and our cat’s fur; Now that our fiance and I are alone in the house, the practical color was no longer needed. The grout was stained anyway. It made sense to replace it with a carpet. Since I knew our fiance and I would be careful, I invested in a gorgeous pear colored rug. It has all sorts of reds, browns and red in it. It looks actually good stretched through the house. I noticed recently that every one of us get a lot of sun coming inside the house, then with brown tile that wasn’t a problem. With our rug I was worried about the sun fading the vibrant colors. I didn’t want all the colors to blend together to be a light pear rug… Ew, that would look bad. So I decided that a sun control window movie on every window in the home was the right idea. Now the rug is protected and won’t fade in color at all. Also, the sun control window movie makes the home recognize much cooler in the summer, however my fiance and I have saved quite a bit on A/C this year.
