An article in this morning’s paper inspired this blog. 
Wish Designs USA, ultra suede, machine washable area rugs and runners are the easy care, go everywhere, ultimate in underfoot luxury.  Soft fibers, wide array of color choices, made in USA, tariff free, green and sustainable manufacture process are just a few of the benefits besides the look, the feel and the overall function.
Forever the biggest place to invest for home value / resale value has been the kitchen, aka, the gathering place, the heart of the home, the real family room.  According to a survey published May 1, 2018 by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) the kitchen has been, dethroned, by the bathroom. 
Bathroom remodeling surpasses kitchen by 3% with green upgrades high on the to-have list.  Low-emissivity windows, programmable thermostats and hi-efficiency HVAC systems are project frontrunners.
A bathroom upgrade doesn’t necessarily mean a costly overhaul.  Give it a “visual remodel” by enhancing the décor.  See the room as a canvas to display your personal creative.
Faucets, floor coverings and walls are three of the least expensive and most noticeable options. 
Find a color scheme that matches your style.  Wish Designs USA area rugs take the bath mat to the next level.  Water resistant, soft under foot and Machine Washable for easy care.  Custom created to your color specifications from over a hundred ultra suede color choices and no limit to the number of colors you can incorporate, you have a lasting piece that will unite your project from soap to shower curtain.
Love the look?  Contact us at Wish Designs USA to set up your wholesale account or for a referral to a dealer near you. 
Wish Designs USA area rugs, runner and pillows are Made in USA and machine washable for easy care. Custom size and color options are available on all items.  Lead time is 3-5 weeks. Global transit time may vary.

The Briarwood really is a versatile fixture.  Shown in the redwood loft is our 60” diameter style.  Full bodied and bold it pairs well with the log home décor.  
The image of the bedroom shows the 48” size.  The subtle shades and tranquil view of this peaceful oasis are complimented by the natural flow of the branching style.  
Retail settings are inspired when nature comes indoors.  Shown left is a custom Briarwood 48” diameter, 60” high, 14 lights.
Custom sizes are available on all fixture styles as well as custom painted finishes.

Branchelier of the Day 
     The Briarwood hickory branch chandelier is a long standing classic design.  It is distinguished by 14 candles staggered throughout the body of the fixture in a loose three tiered effect.  The branching style is full and calls for hickory with a gnarly bend.  The Briarwood has an overall robust appearance which gives it a commanding presence that is well suited to a great room or lobby setting.
     The Briarwood is available in three standard sizes, 42” wide x 42” high, 48”wide x 48” high and 60” wide x 48” high, all with 14 lights.  Custom sizes are available as well as custom painted finishes.

Wish Designs USA, Tigerrags Division
Here at Wish Designs USA you know us for our lighting. There’s more to us that you might not be aware of.  We have a great line of rugs and pillows, Tigerrags division, we have been making since the 70’s.  They are similar to the old fashioned rag rugs of years past.  But they are better now.  In the very beginning we made our rugs from fabric; cotton, wools, men’s suiting material and even lace.  They had a great visual appeal but were not durable as functional floor coverings.
As the line evolved we moved into leather.  This was strong and durable.  There is something just hot and sexy about a textured leather rug but no so much when they needed cleaned.  Spot cleaning was an option to remove the occasional wine spill and a vacuum attachment or a good shake would free any dust and debris.  They could be taken to a commercial cleaner but the weight of the rug itself was prohibitive, never mind the cost.  Over time the leather would crush down and fatigue much like our shoes break in and our belts relax.  While this wasn’t a deal breaker the appearance was less fresh over time.
Remember when I said they are better now.  They are.  They are made from ultra suede.  This is a micro fiber that has been around for quite a while.  I was first introduced to ultra suede in the early 80’s by my mother.  She came across these fantastic women’s suits that were machine washable at home!  They were all the rage!  Trendy skirt and jacket combos that looked like the updated version of dad’s leisure suits of the 70’s.  She had one in every color.  Well at least 5.  They held true to their easy care promise looking just as good after each wash. And how cool that clothes and sofas were made from the same stuff!  Somewhere a bell went off.  A suit was sacrificed and a product reborn.
This change of materials gave a new life to our pillows as well.  They were softer now.  They were something you wanted to lay your face on.  They didn’t lint on your clothes.  They were so easy care.  Rugs moved full force from sitting and guest rooms to the entry, kitchen and bath! Can they go in the bathroom?  Will water hurt them in the kitchen?  NO!  They are machine washable!  Cold water, gentle cycle fluff dry.  All done. Easy as that.  Won’t shrink, stretch or fade.  Magic material.
Then we got really clever.  Our rugs had a limit we needed to overcome.  The size of the washing machine.  We had the best, easy to care for rug on the market but size mattered.  There is only so large you can go when stuffing an area rug into the washing machine. We thought on it and came up with a way to allow our rugs to break down into washable sections.  We developed a method of splitting the backing and attaching it together with Velcro.  Because of the way we do it and the texture of our rugs you don’t see it or feel it when you walk on it.  This is so cool.  12’ x 20’ rugs (or whatever size you need) can be cared for in your home!  Our rugs are made with a mildew resistant backing which lets them move outdoors as well.  Inside, outside, pond side, pool side is our motto.
We offer custom.  Custom size, shape, color and design.  Sure we do all the standard sizes, 2’ x 4’, 5’ x 7’, 8’ x 10’, but we go beyond that limit.  The hallway needs a runner 2’8” x 17’?  Done! The den has a funny angled wall and a standard square or rectangle won’t do the job?  Parallelogram!  Trapezoid even!  You get the idea.  Round, oval, or send us a template to make a free form shape that winds in and out of sectional furniture.  
Your designer has hundreds of colors to choose from. There is not a limit to the amount of colors, 2 or 20, the more the better.  Specifying the amount of each color changes the whole mood of your piece. How different would it be to have a rug that was 80% blue and 20% red as opposed to the opposite?  I am a fan of the more shades the better.  That way no color is ever wrong.  Look at a Tigerrag like you would a painting or a silk arrangement.  Monet used more than one shade of blue.  Also, remember these rugs last!  Choosing a variety of colors will give the piece movement down the road as your décor changes. There will always be a similar strain of color that you like in your home.  With a variety of shades your rug will move with these changes.  
Our designs go beyond mixing colors alone.  We offer borders, zigzags, stripes.  We can mimic corporate logos or art.  All the while our Tigerrags remain easy care, machine washable, regardless of size!
