Your clients are questioning or even demanding ‘green’ and they expect you to know so much more than the '101' basics. This field is changing quickly, making it difficult to be current with the latest strategies for good environmentally friendly rugs. Rugs and carpeting can be a significant factor in the design budget and your clients are counting on you to be the expert.

You want straightforward unbiased information on all aspects of green rugs and carpeting! Learning about the sustainability criteria for selecting fibres, construction, dyeing, stain-resister coatings and rug care is important for your client’s investment, for their health, and for the environment. Dayle combines her LEED® AP, interior design teaching, applied science degree and decades of experience in this fast-paced 2 hour seminar.

Overview:

‘Rugs 101’ is an information seminar that looks at designer rug choices from an environmental impact perspective. The session clarifies “green” scientific terms commonly in use today and provides practical approaches for choosing the right environmentally friendly rug solution that will meet the varying needs of the design client.

Fabulous – like an entire college course in one evening! Dayle is clear, organized, and an ‘excellent presenter’. I appreciate the fact that [she is] committed to educating design professionals about the best green practices in a time effective and enjoyable way.”
