Not sure what to get the woman who has it all this Mother’s Day? Here at Nunawading Homemaker HQ, we’ve made gift-giving easy by curating a collection of luxurious Mother’s Day gifts for our Mother’s Day Gift Guide so you can treat the one you love.

Gifts for the interior design mum

If your mum has an eye for design and wants her home to be a sanctuary full of eye-catching wall art and decorative pieces, then when it comes to Mother’s Day gift ideas, you can’t go past home décor from Nunawading Homemaker HQ. First up, you’ll need a fresh and exciting piece of art to add a lovely pop of colour to any space. Then head to Bed Bath N’ Table and Urban Rhythm to shop their selection of incredible throws and cushions. Last up, a table light from Koala Living will help your mum wind down after a long day by creating the perfect mood lighting.

 

Gifts for the homebody mum

Self-care doesn’t just mean maintaining a beauty routine. Sometimes, self-care simply means wrapping yourself up in a cosy robe, lighting a candle or two, and relaxing on the couch (or in bed) with a good book or binge-worthy show. If this sounds like heaven to your mum, then why not upgrade her self-care routine with a plush robe and slippers from Adairs? While you’re there, be sure to check out Adairs selection of home fragrances and candles that’ll make your mum’s home smell amazing.

Gifts for the organised mum

Everyone loves an organised and functional space, especially if what you’re using to store your belongings is just as aesthetically pleasing as your furniture and décor. Howards Storage World has so many wonderful storage solutions that can help organise jewellery, cables, clothing and more. Their cable organiser bag can help hide pesky cords, and their four-tier jewellery box will be able to store all of Mum’s jewellery effectively. Mum’s space will look so good that she’ll never want to leave the house!

Choosing the Correct Rug Size with Decorug

There is so much to consider when shopping for a new rug; colour, pile, material, pattern, style and the list goes on but one of the most important elements affecting the success of your rug in any room is the size.  

In general, we tend to buy our rugs too small, which can be a deal breaker for a space because it means the rug can quickly become dwarfed by the size of the space. In a large, open plan living room, opt for a rug large enough that all your furniture can sit on the rug or at least the front legs of the sofa(s). 

Living Room Rug Sizes

It’s the rug’s responsibility to zone the space and anchor the furniture and the larger the rug, the greater the sense of luxury and warmth created in the space. If your living room is on the small side, you may opt to have your rug floating which means the edge of the rug would sit out approximately 300mm from the front feet on your sofa. Although, even in a small space, I personally prefer to have my rug partially tucked under the sofa feet (I prefer my feet on a rug than a hard floor). There are exceptions to every rule but in my book, a rug should always be longer than your sofa by at least 300mm on each side. A cowhide is the exception to the rule but the asymmetrical shape of a cowhide defies all the rules. 

Bedroom Rug Size

In the bedroom, in nearly all circumstances I opt for rugs under the bed, even if your bedrooms are carpeted. The extra layer adds literal and visual warmth and added luxury. The general rule of thumb is to buy a rug large enough that at least 500mm protrudes from each side of the bed. In terms of rug width in the bedroom, the rug should sit at least one metre from the wall in which the bed head sits and should protrude at least, approximately one metre from the end of the bed. 

Rug Sizes For Narrow Spaces

Consider carpet runners for thoroughfares such hallways, breezeways and kitchens especially where spaces may need some added warmth and layering. In long hallways, feel free to lay more than one runner, placing them at least 500mm apart. In our hallway, I’ve used a combination of different sized, coloured and patterned rugs for a relaxed, eclectic feeling in the home. In some cases, you can even utilise door mat sized rugs to help fill out such long narrow spaces.  

Rugs can be tricky things to get right. DecoRug Nunawading offer a try before you buy scheme and a returns policy so that if your rug isn’t quite right in the space you can return it and try again. It’s the best way to ensure you get it right.
