Area Rug Placement


 
  1. When using a large rug that covers most of a room, it's best to use a rug size that allows at least 8 inches of a hardwood or tile floor to be exposed around the rug. Center the rug in the room as much as possible, with an equal distance from the wall to each side and an equal distance from the wall to each end.
  2. The best size of rug to use under a dining table extends a minimum of 24 inches beyond each edge of the table.

Direct Buy


Many internet companies claim to save you money by "cutting out the middle-man". But aren't they the middle man? Don't be fooled by "direct buy" opportunities on the web. We buy direct and also offer something the internet doesn't, one-on-one with you. You can actually talk to a live person, and know that we will be here for your needs. Get the scoop on one particular e-retailer at: http://blogs.consumerreports.org/home/2007/09/with-directbu-1.html

Hand-Scraped Bamboo


We've added another bamboo supplier to our showroom, and now we have hand-sraped bamboo. It's the look that has been going crazy for hardwood, now available in a very green product that is harder than hardwood, and much more renewable. Come by and take a look.

Green Tips


Look at your appliances. Are they Energy Star approved? These appliances will reduce your energy costs and reduce emissions. Energy is a resource we have to use in moderation. Saving as much as we can will help our children. The use of bamboo floors are also a great way to help save the environment. Bamboo is a very renewable source of flooring, and you just may be able to get a tax credit for its use. Come by and we’ll fill you in.


New Employees at Damon's


We would like to welcome aboard Bill Lamb as a new sales associate. Bill is originally from Paris, AR, has a lovely family (with one on the way), and looks forward to assisting you with any interior finish needs you have. Come by and see him and welcome him to the Fort Smith area. We also welcome Karen Mills as our new office administrator. Karen lives in Poteau and adds depth to our team with her background in office procedures.


Using Patterns on the Floor


Use patterns on the floor to define a space. Tiles are great for this. Today’s tiles are available in many sizes and are perfect for creating some “pop” in a space. Larger rooms will require larger patterns to be symmetrical in nature. Small rooms won’t need as much. You may loose the concept by using a large pattern in a small room. Think of looking through a telescope at something close up. You can’t see the “full picture” that close.  


New Carpet Fiber


We are proud to showcase our carpets with the new Smartstrand fiber technology. This fiber is wonderful. It not only feels soft, but it is extremely stain resistant. We tested bleach on it with no effect to the color. Now that's saying something. Our Smartstrand SP series carpet will be on sale from August 1st thru the 31st.

Waterproof Shower Installation


We are the experts when it comes to tile shower installations. We take great steps to ensure your shower lasts a long time. We waterproof our showers through a multi-step process to prevent leaks. Most stores only apply tile directly on the surface and call it good. This is an accident waiting to happen. Water will get into your walls and cause mold and damage. Contact us for a water-tight shower.
