Dover Rug & Home Announces Selected Designers for the ‘Room From the Rug Up’ Design Event
Dover Rug & Home, offering the largest selection of fine floor coverings and window treatments in New England, is pleased to announce the designers selected to display their vignettes from the ‘Room From the Rug Up’ Design Event; Rebecca Wilson of RW Interiors, Kris Shaffer of Kris Shaffer Interiors, Ann Neumann, Marilyn MacLeod of LeeDesign, and Tacey Luongo of Tacey Designs Architecture.
The ‘Room From the Rug Up’ Design event, sponsored by Boston HOME magazine, challenged International Furnishings and Design Association (IFDA) interior design members from the New England Chapter to design a “room” with the rug as a focal point and inspiration. Dover Rug & Home selected five rugs and corresponding rooms for designers to create vignettes. These vignettes will be showcased in the brand new Dover Rug & Home showroom at 721 Worcester Street (Route 9) in Natick from March 15th through the end of the month. Additionally, throughout the month of March, customers can enter to win one of several rugs being given away as well as a two-hour design consultation from one of the featured designers. Patrons can enter by stopping by anytime during regular business hours from March 15th through March 31st.
The IFDA, founded in 1947, is a worldwide professional alliance of leaders representing residential and commercial furnishings and design. Members are executives from companies engaged in the design, production, distribution, promotion, communication, or education in the furnishings and design and/or related industries.
“We are very pleased to showcase the wonderful design of these talented IFDA members,” states Mahmud Jafri, CEO of Dover Rug & Home. “One of the goals with our new showroom is to create an environment that makes it easy for design professionals to bring their clients here and show them the many options available. The vignettes are a great way for customers to see in real life how you can design a space starting with the rug you love.”
The recipient of the “Best of Boston Home 2011” award, Dover Rug & Home opened its 30,000 square-foot showroom in early 2012, offering both homeowners and design professionals an exceptional and easier to navigate home shopping experience. Rugs and accessories are segmented by specific category, price and style. There are also “design stations” with state-of-the-art technology giving customers the chance to be creative and customize rugs and carpets – all at affordable prices. An on-premise warehouse of carpets guarantees installation within 24 hours from the time of purchase. To round out the “Dover” experience, Dover Rug & Home also launched a squash-fitness club as part of their new location. As a long-time supporter of international Squash, the Dover Squash & Fitness professional regulation facility is an additional 5,000 square feet adjacent to the new building to help inspire a healthy lifestyle.
