b'two ways with rugsIf youre having a big partyespecially one where there might be a number of little ones running around the housethere is the potential for your rug to become a tripping hazard. If pulling it out before the party will leave your space a little lacking on the style front, try painting a rug underneath to carry on your colour scheme while removing the risk. This strategy can also be helpful if your rug is too chunky or cosy for warmer weather but is a necessity for keeping toes toasty during the colder months.Below and right: Wall in Resene Half Akaroa, floor in Resene Mondo with painted rug (right) in Resene Lichen, Resene Dusty Road, Resene Brown Sugar and Resene Brown Pod, large vase in Resene Lichen, small vase in Resene Mondo and DIY artwork in Resene Quarter Akaroa with shapes in Resene Mondo, Resene Brown Sugar, Resene Half Akaroa, Resene Half Nomad, Resene Lichen, Resene Dusty Road and Resene Brown Pod.
