Herald on Sunday, 10 May 2009: Surviving Winter in Style, by Judy Kean

"Designer Rugs: Wooden, tiled and concrete floors look great but when the weather turns chilly, they aren't a lot of fun for your feet. A designer rug can bring some warmth and style to your home. Christchurch company Kirkle Design specialises in high-quality rugs, such as this one from the Wetland series (POA). They're hand-tufted from pure New Zealand wool and made to order, so you can choose the shape, colours, size and texture you like, says designer Kirsty Black."
