MODERN RUGS [POP OF COLOUR CHALLENGE]
I love interior design. I daydream of the when I can do beautiful things with my home that won’t mean balancing the risk between encountering the kind help of my three little assistants, and the pointless damage to my bank balance should said help occur.
Our hallway was in desperate need of a spruce-up after we lost Excalibur, [imagine what your hallway would look like with 14 years of two rampaging huskies] and when Modern Rugs offered us the chance to take part in a design challenge, it was the perfect time to get to work with a pop of colour, the colour of love.
We decided to redecorate with and bought two red lampshades, some wall paper, and we painted our old wooden mirror with a coat of white satin gloss.
The rug is just fantastic – the size is perfect for just about everywhere – by the sofa, the bed, the door, in the middle of the hall… I think you can tell that we love it. We’re entering into the Modern Rugs Valentine competition to add a pop of colour, and we managed it all on £70! We feel very warm and fuzzy with our new rug.

That color is beautiful. It's fun to add a pop of color in. I need some new rugs and I'll be sure to check out Modern Rugs.
Thanks Terri! I am in love with this rug! It's so snuggly!
What a cosy looking rug. Your hallway looks bright, fresh and stylish. We need to get new rugs once we've moved, a suspicious black stain has ruined my fav pink rug 🙁
Thank you! The same thing happened to a lovely sheepskin rug we had…my boys are suspiciously quiet about the whole affair 😉
Gorgeous rug! I love that red. However I stay clear of wallpaper – the very thought terrifies me and i see myself getting caught up in sticky paper and making a right mess. I really must overcome this fear one day
Ah, me too – but my mum is an expert 😉 She's awesome at it.
I love the colour of the rug, it looks so soft too!

Thanks Angela – it's very soft and so shimmery!
Adds a lovely pop of colour to you home and love the cute photos x
Thanks Lori! 🙂
Awww…your boys are so precious on the new rug and love the red lams and your hallway – how very nice!! It looks soft and shimmery 🙂
It's so silky. I have a thing for rugs this year!
What an absolutely gorgeous red! That would brighten up even the dullest room in the house.
I don't know why I'm so afraid of colour! It always looks great when people have this pop of unexpected colour somewhere, and I always LOVE the look of it. Nicely done, I'm loving those red shades too.
I used to have colour everywhere, then I muted it out of everywhere, now it's creeping back in. At heart I'm a pale blue girl though 😉
Gosh! I love your hallway!
That rug is sooo nice too – I need a nice big rug for the front room – This in a big version would be perfect.

Thank you! The rug is even bigger than it looks, that's just half of it as the stairs hide lots of it.
Oh wow, I love those lampshades! And the rug to match. It makes everything look so posh! Love it.
They were on sale at B and Q! I love the cut outs on them 🙂 Thank you – we are not posh though I promise! Hahah!
That rug looks beautiful, I love red so much and it looks very plush in your hall.
Thank you Melissa, it's very snuggly on the toes 🙂
oh wow, love this 🙂 we are about to start decorating out hall way after i have been putting it off for months! lol .. i love your colour choice x
Hallways are so much hassle I think! I still have a porch to do that looks glum 🙁 I loved your DIY tips post!
I just love your hallway. It looks so inviting
how lovely and bright is that. we are just decorating the living room.
I absolutely love that red! It really pops in that space!
My mother took interior design classes when I was a child, yet I didn't share her love for until the past few years. I'm not an expert by any means, but I do enjoy it! By the way, that rug is simply beautiful.
That's such a pretty color for a rug! Right now I have a dark and dreary looking one in the living room so a nice pop of color would be an awesome change!
It does look nice a plush. I like the vibrant red color too.
Wow. That looks fantastic and it's a great focal point for the space! I can't believe you redecorated on such a small budget too- it just goes to show what a little creativity can do. Good luck in the contest- I hope you win it!!
(and your boys are adorable)
I love that pop of color of red! It makes it so chic against the white wall backdrop.
I love the red color. I am looking to add a few rugs to my home. I will have to look at some bold colors.
That rug is absolutely gorgeous. I love the lanterns that you put up as well. And his towel is too cute!
I love the color! We have a very bright theme going on to keep the kids sensory systems happy.
You hallway is gorgeous! I want to add more color to our front room. That pop of color really works!
Omg what a beyond fabulous rug!!just loving the shade of red! Totally pops!!!! Love ittttt 🙂
Love , love, love it! That color is gorgeous!
Absolutely love this decor, you have done an amazing work. I love the red and that rug looks so lush and soft.
I love interior design as well! That red rug is really fantastic, I love the pop of color that it adds!
What a gorgeous pop of colour. I love the crimson red shade, I have it in my living room.
The rug is definitely a bold statement piece for a room. I too, cannot wait until I can decorate my own office space…it will be so much fun.
That is a fantastic color, the lamp shades and the wall color go so well together.
This looks fab – love the little snowman lol
It is amazing what a little bit of colour can do to a room. I like the red that you have incorporated!

Thanks – we had a red sofa years ago but this is the first time we've gone red!
