Carpeting & Your Furry Friends – Carol Stream, Glen Ellyn, Wheaton, LaGrange, Hinsdale, Western Springs & MORE !

Nowadays, many people have pets in their homes. However, they’re not simply “just” pets, they are part of the family and are loved greatly! Just like when you have children, you have to take into consideration the fact that you have pets when making important decisions for your home. Flooring is no exception.

A lot of things come to mind when considering what type of flooring will be best for your home, even more so when you have pets to consider. With pets comes a lot of responsibility and some issues to keep in mind when considering what type of flooring will work best with them. For example, do you want carpeting but are afraid of accidents with puppy potty training or kitties and their litter boxes? How about hairballs and bone residue? How about their fur shedding? People often stray away from carpeting when they have their furry friends because of these issues and they are drawn toward other flooring products, such as hardwood, tile or lvt. While it may seem like the best choice, you will also have concerns with those too, such as the animals having long claws and nails and doing damage to the floor, and possibly hurting themselves.

There’s a product that may put your pet worries at ease with carpeting: Stainmaster PetProtect! Stainmaster products have built-in stain resistance that will NOT wash off or out! Their products also have a breathable moisture barrier that helps prevent any spills from seeping into the padding and floor and allows for a much better cleaning. Lastly, Stainmaster PetProtect carpet reduces the attraction between its carpet fibers and pet hair, making it much, much easier to vacuum up regularly and leaving much less behind!

Don’t shy away from purchasing new carpeting due to having furry friends in your home, simply check out Stainmaster PetProtect products so that all of your family may enjoy! Contact DeSitter to learn more and start shopping today!

December’s Designer of the Month – Glen Ellyn, Carol Stream, Wheaton, Lombard & MORE

by

interior-design-quote

Interior design is not for everyone and that’s okay! That doesn’t mean you don’t want your home to look beautiful or have a brilliant sense of style and balance, it just means that you may have a little difficulty arranging the contents and selecting styles and colors for fabric, furniture and flooring so that they all flow wonderfully with one another. There’s no shame in that and there’s usually a relatively easy fix as long as you’re willing to put a little trust in someone else and can try and help them understand your personal preference on style and design ideas. Work with a designer!! Interior designers are amazing individuals who work long and hard to help you make your home beautiful and a reflection of your style choices. What may come as a difficult process for you is usually done effortlessly by them because it’s simply what they do!

This December, DeSitter recognizes Deb Diver as our Designer of the Month! Read below to get a quick feel for what Deb does and how she can help you! Please feel free to contact her office to set up a design consultation and see how she can help you Unleash the Beauty Within…

My designs are more than just ordinary- I can offer fabulous ideas for your project and will show you how to perfectly blend textures, colors, and style to make our concept come to life.

Whether you’re looking for a small transformation with a new piece of furniture or draperies or you want  a complete overhaul of your master suite, kitchen, or even entire home, I’ll provide you with an extraordinary, individualized plan, no matter the size.

Give a little love back to your home and get ready to unleash the beauty ​within.”

Preparing Your Floors for the Winter Weather – Glen Ellyn, Hinsdale, Western Springs, Willowbrook, Carol Stream, LaGrange

by

entry-mat mats  54fe9e3c2e7fd-rain-boot-tray-0410-xl 001

Fall is already upon us, which means colder and wetter weather is just around the corner as we prepare for Winter! Not only do we have to start bundling up and protecting ourselves from the harsh weather, it’s time to do the same with your flooring!

When you think of fall and winter weather, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Rain? Snow? Both? Of course it is! And we all know that means there is going to be a lot of muddy and slushy shoes walking through our homes, which is a nightmare in itself for your flooring.

We all obviously have a million other things to worry about but just doing a few simple, routine tasks can help you prevent any wear and tear to your floors!

  • ALWAYS keep a mat or plastic tray by each entry way so that you can remove your shoes and not track the snow or rain on your shoes through your home.
    • When you have carpeting, the water will be absorbed into the carpet and any dirt will stain the carpeting as well
    • When you have hardwood flooring, ANY moisture is bad! The salt residue and dirt on your shoes can also scratch the wood.
    • Added moisture on tile, LVT, laminate flooring will make the floor very slippery and difficult to walk on without slipping and possibly falling
  • You should also keep a towel or mop near the entry ways so that you can be sure to wipe up any wet spots right away!
  • It’s recommended to do one good cleaning on your floors before the really harsh weather conditions hit so that you can continue with routine maintenance during the fall/winter months
  • When you have hardwood flooring, you have to consider the humidity level in your home. With not enough humidity in the air, you can get cupping and gaps in the hardwood flooring
  • Area Rugs are great additions for design appeal but also serve as added protection to your floors

Interior Decorating & the Colors of Fall – LaGrange, Western Springs, Carol Stream & Glen Ellyn

by

majestic

We know Fall is upon us once we see the leaves start changing colors and feel the crispness of the cool air. While each season is known for it’s own specific holidays, weather changes, types of activities, etc., there is no argument that Fall is simply beautiful with all of it’s amazing colors all around us that paint different pictures every where you look.

When you think of Fall, what comes to mind? Is it the colorful leaves, the falling of the leaves, or the warm comfort food cooking on the stove or in the crockpot? Could it be the yummy smell of homemade treats baking in the oven? Can you imagine the smiles on people’s faces when they are jumping in the piles of leaves in the yards? Do you get excited just thinking about Halloween, Thanksgiving or other times you gather with your family and friends? You may simply start thinking about hot cocoa and movies while cuddled next to the fire or under blankets. Whatever it is that comes to mind when you think of Fall, it’s a given that they are happy thoughts and a time to look forward to. Fall gives a sense of change all while allowing you to feel comfort and peace.

With such wonderful feelings associated with Fall, it would be silly to not consider using the colors of Fall to transform your home’s interior. Bring those feelings into your home! It doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to change every aspect of your decor, just add a few things here and there. You can choose to change the flooring completely and go with an earthtone or somewhat neutral color or you can even add an Area Rug to be a design piece in your room! Even if you’re not willing to change up your flooring just yet, how about considering changing the color of the paint on your walls or adding an accent wall? You can also do simpler things, such as incorporating throw pillows or decorative items that show the colors of Fall or bring the sense of Fall into your home.

Whatever you decide to do, make it yours! Your home should be a reflection of those that occupy it and not necessarily have to show off the newest and latest trends. A happy home is one that you love to be in and share with one another.
