Selling Houses Australia Season 12, Episode 5 Recap

Charlie was treated to a slow week, having only a few small projects to keep him occupied on the boat. Some fresh paint, fake turf and a new BBQ area are all it takes to freshen up the outdoor areas and utilise the space best. Shaynna is keen to update the whole boat while maintaining a homely feel- but not a clichéd nautical theme. To do this, she ripped out the old kitchen and opened up the space to create more flow and light. Walls are treated to a fabric finish and the master bedroom extended. Upstairs, the two bedrooms are merged into one, with a fabric divider for flexibility of space.

The bedrooms are also treated to our carpet for a fresh new look, as well as atrium round rugs for a fun and casual vibe. Round rugs are such a great option in a variety of spaces, especially in tight nooks, quirky or awkward corners and entryways. As can be seen in last week’s episode, small bedrooms really benefit from round rugs too as they provide practical floor covering while not taking up too much space visually. The Atrium Rug design worked a treat with its jute material construction lending itself to the subtle coastal décor.

Indiana didn’t have to wait long to start shopping for her new, bigger houseboat. After the complete facelift, their home sold quickly to some lucky new owners. Onwards and upwards for Indiana and her family! This episode of Selling Houses Australia (Season 12, Episode 5 ) first aired on April 3rd.

How to stop rugs from moving on wooden floor?

Rugs are beautiful additions to any room but if not secured they can become a slip or trip hazard. There are a few ways to deal with this. You can either anchor the rug to the floor with furniture to restrict movement or use a non-slip pad between the floor and the rug.

What should I consider when choosing a rug for my bedroom?

There are a few things to consider here. Do you want the rug to feel plush underfoot or would you prefer a flatter pile? Do you want the rug to become a feature (with pattern and colour) or more understated? Bedrooms are not incredibly high-traffic spaces so you can afford to choose something like wool or a light colour which you may not, say, in an entryway. Ensure the rug is large enough too, you can see a few different size and placement ideas in our Rug Guide.

What type of rug fibre is the most durable for a busy home?

Rugs fibres are similar to that of carpets and if you’re on the lookout for a durable option, a synthetic fibre like polypropylene is a great idea. Something also to consider is an outdoor or washable rug for those really messy areas of the home!
