Monday, October 24th, 2011
A bookshelf makes excellent storage space for books, ornaments and other miscellaneous items. You can easily build your own bookshelf by following a few simple step-by-step instructions:
- Measure the size – once you have chosen the location of where your bookshelf will stand, you need to measure and determine the size that your bookshelf needs to be.
- Measure and cut the top, sides and interior – the easiest wood to be used is plywood.
- Cut your wood to length – take your pieces of wood and have them professionally cut to the length needed for cleaner edges.
- Create grooves for the interior shelves – for more stability and ability to hold more weight measure and make grooves for the interior shelves.
- Connect your unit – using glue and finishing nails, assemble your unit beginning with the exterior and finishing with the interior.
- Finishing touches – cover any holes or marks and paint to give it a nice even clean finish.

Decorating tips with rugs
Wednesday, October 19th, 2011
Add some extra pizzazz to a room by decorating it with a rug. Perhaps you need decorating tips with rugs to help you make the most out of your rug:
- Use a rug to divide a room up into separate areas such as a dining room, foyer, or seating area.
- Use different size rugs in one room that compliment each other in style.
- Add a rug to help tie in the different colours of a room.
- If the room is quite busy, a rug can add a calming effect and vice versa.
- You can use a rug as a focal point of your room if it is busy and eccentric.
- If you are buying a room size rug, subtract three feet from the length and width from the room to help make the room look a little bigger.
Deals Direct has some gorgeous rugs of all kinds to suit every room. Choose from the modern rug, traditional rug, runners, shag pile or round rug to help complete your room and add warmth.

The history of oriental rugs
Tuesday, September 27th, 2011
You have bought a gorgeous oriental rug from Deals Direct that you admire every time you are in the room. Oriental rugs are not just lovely to look at, but they also have a fantastic history behind them.
The earliest Oriental rug found, is the Pazyryk carpet found in the underground burial tomb of a Scythian Chieftain. It is believed to be over two thousand years old. As trade links with Middle East became more established from the 17th century on oriental rugs became increasingly popular with the western market.
Between the 17th century and 19th century the growth of the middle class meant oriental rugs were seen as a luxury item. This caused the increase in production of the rugs for the western market from Caucasus, Anatolian, India and China. This made the oriental rugs the popular ones we now know today.

How to care for Egyptian Cotton
Friday, September 23rd, 2011
You love the soft, smooth feeling of Egyptian cotton when you buy it, but if not cared for properly, it can loose that sensational softness. Some simple guidelines will help you to care for this material properly:
- Do not wash Egyptian cotton with any other fabrics
- Remove the sheets from the washing machine as soon as the cycle is finished. This will help to reduce crinkles.
- Do not iron as it is unnecessary as this material does not wrinkle too badly
- Dry on warm temperature setting and take the sheets out of the dryer before they are 100% dry.
Egyptian cotton is known to be one of the superior types of cotton. Due to the mercerizing process the cotton staples are put through the fabric is extremely delicate and soft. We usually have Egyptian cotton sheets, but you may own clothing in this fabric.
