We all know that rain is good for the environment and helps the flowers bloom throughout spring and summer. But for all the good the rainy season brings, it also introduces mud and muck into the house. We have a few simple tips for making the mud more manageable while still keeping your home at its stylish best.
From the Ground Up
Area rugs not only help define open spaces like foyers and entryways, but also add a touch of welcoming warmth and splash of style. For fear of ruining prized rugs with muddy footprints, many people stow their rugs away during the rainy season. Rather than deprive your entryway of the many benefits offered by an area rug, lay down an indoor/outdoor rug that is easily cleaned and stands up to heavy foot traffic. Shop from our selection of indoor/outdoor rugs to find the season’s hottest color and pattern trends. These chic rugs protect your floors from mud and dirt while making a stunning first impression with your guests!
Benchwarmers
Keeping a heap of towels in the entryway is a common-sense approach to taming mud during the rainy season. But who wants their ratty old towels in plain view? That’s why we suggest placing a storage bench in the entryway. It not only keeps cleanup items out of sight but also offers a place to sit while you wipe your feet and remove your shoes. Win-win! Our Zenfield bench is technically designed to complement the bedroom collection by the same name, but can easily add form and function to a foyer, too.
A-Tisket, A-Tasket
Now that you’ve removed your muddy shoes, you need a spot to stow them. After all, no one wants to see the family’s footwear lined up by the front door. Nothing works better than a large basket to conceal the mess while letting your footwear “breathe” and dry out.
The Hookup
Now that you’ve mastered the cleanup and storage of your muddy rain boots, it’s time to address the raincoats, jackets, and umbrellas. Our home accents wall shelf works especially well in a foyer thanks to its bevy of hooks. With a stylish storage spot for every member of the family, there’s no excuse for an unorganized entryway.

Distressed Out: Why Distressed Furnishings Are So In
Whether your ultimate style is shabby chic, beach bungalow, quaint cottage or urban loft, one thing’s for certain: distressed furnishings make it that much more…like home. For lovers of the distressed look, interior fashion is about more than dressing to impress. It’s about exuding a warm, welcoming vibe, where everyone is invited to sit down, kick back and take it down a notch.
Here’s to distressed furnishings’ beauty and versatility
What a realm of possibilities. You can create a comfortable oasis with subtle hints of timeworn charm, or opt for a heavily distressed look for more rustic appeal.
We love the dramatic saw marks on the Fanzere bedroom set. Treated to a lightly applied whitewashed finish, it looks so much like reclaimed lumber.
Distressed finishes can convey everything from a comfortably cool aesthetic to a chic, upscale attitude. Mix things up for the perfect mood in your home.
In the design world, this mixed look is called “rustic refinement.” Mestler’s Parsons-style table with an antiqued finish is paired with posh, button-tufted upholstered dining chairs. The merger is elegant, without fuss and formality.
Those who grace their space with distressed furnishings understand: style and comfort go hand in hand and some things do get better with age. Weathered furnishings make homes rich in character.
Loaded with textural interest and tonal variation, distressed furnishings allow you to combine light and dark pieces for one uniquely coordinated style. Case in point: the Wesling series.
Distressing extends far beyond furniture. From erased motif rugs to new lighting with tasteful “tarnishing,” there are floor-to-ceiling possibilities.
Personalize your style with timeworn accents. Distressed materials—from wood, to ceramic and stone, to patina metal—look so at home together.
