From the looks of things on my Facebook page and email inbox, y’all desperately want to know who won the Shaw/HGTV Home area rug giveaway.  Well, let’s find out!

The True Random Number Generator at Random.org said that Commenter #228 is the big time winner.  Who’s #228?

Congrats to Kyra, who loves the India rug in Spice.  I hope it’s going to look great in her dining room!

For everyone else, stay tuned.  I have some A-Ma-Zing giveaways coming up soon, including a killer one tomorrow. Someone’s got to win (just ask Kyra!).  Why shouldn’t it be you?

This giveaway is now closed.

As I’ve shown over the last few weeks, an area rug can be a great starting point when choosing a theme or colors for a room. I was so pleased with the way our room for the Shaw Floors/HGTV Home Bloggers Challenge turned out, and every bit of inspiration in that room was pulled from our Delilah rug.

Area rugs are so fun! Not only are they a source of inspiration, but they make the flooring you already have much more flexible. Layering in an area rug over a hard surface floor, or even over a neutral carpet, allows you to personalize a room with a pattern that can be easily changed as your design style evolves.

Y’all, I’m here to tell you that the HGTV Home line of Shaw area rugs are delicious. I can say that with all certainty, as I have worked with them, walked on them with bare feet, and even slept on them. Okay, not that last one, but they are so soft that I could have!  Each style comes in several different colorways, too, so I know there is something for everyone.

There are two collections within the HGTV Home line: Haven and Inspire

Haven
The global influenced Haven rug collection is made from Shaw’s recyclable EverTouch nylon, which can actually be recycled into a new rug once you are finished with it. This collection has both muted earth tones and bold jewel tones.

Some of my favorites from the Haven collection are:

Vintage Bloom

Ikat Panel

Patina

Juneau

Mod Links

Inspire
The Inspire rug collection includes styles feature Shaw’s ClearTouch PET carpet fiber, some of which is made of recycled soda bottles.  These area rugs are muted neturals with pops of teal, green or purple.  They are young, modern and on-trend.  Some of my favorites in this collection are:

Delilah

India

Do you see something that inspires you?  Good!  It could be yours.  Shaw Floors and HGTV Home are going to give one of their gorgeous rugs away to one of my readers! The winner will be able to select the rug style and size of their choice.
