NATICK, MA – Dover Rug & Home will participate as the floor and rug sponsor in Boston Magazine’s Design Home 2012. This marks the sixth time Dover Rug & Home is involved in this charitable event, which benefits the Ronald McDonald House Charities of New England.  

The Design Home is located at 4 Cowings Cove, Norwell, MA.

The Design Home 2012 is open through November 12^th. 

Built by New England builder Eugene Mattie, The Design Home is a custom-designed residence within the sanctuary of Cowings Cove, a private community in Norwell, MA. The home is a showcase, featuring design components and brands from Dover Rug & Home, GerrityStone, Clarke, Circle Furniture and others in the Greater Boston design community led by the vision of interior designer Vani Sayeed.  

Dover Rug & Home provided a variety of flooring solutions in The Design Home. Solid hardwood flooring with a combination of red and white oak in crisp and fresh tones is used in the kitchen and powder room. Vinyl flooring, which provides a non-slip service with durability and thermal insulation, is found in the porch.

An environmentally friendly option - cork flooring - is used in the lower levels, providing an effective vibration absorber.

Additionally, hand knotted rugs are featured in a number of areas. A variety of styles are represented: contemporary designed rugs are featured in the office and entryway, traditional in the dining room and child’s room, and transitional in the living room and master bedroom retreat.  

In addition to home tours, The Design Home is hosting a seminar series to share the most up-to-date info on home design, technology and trends. Dover Rug & Home is participating in a number of activities, including the seminar Green Product Trends on Thursday, November 1 from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Joining Mahmud Jafri of Dover Rug & Home as a presenter are Jim Gerrity and Mike Schena from GerrityStone and Deb Dumel from Frank Webb Bath Center. 

“We participate in several design events a year, but the Boston Magazine’s Design Home is one that really stands out. It gives us the opportunity to showcase our rugs, carpets and flooring with some of the area’s finest furniture, art and home product retailers. The end result is a stunning display of home design,” said Mahmud Jafri, chief executive officer of Dover Rug & Home. “Design Home is inspirational and accessible to everyone, from first time homeowners to those looking to renovate, to professional interior designers. Most importantly, it benefits a wonderful charity- the Ronald McDonald House.”
