Florence carpet in Serenity adds dimension with a subtle artistic scroll
Step outside , and you ’ re immediately greeted with an astounding array of patterns : millions of blades of grass in a cohesive whole , a rosebud ’ s delicate swirls , the curves and points in a pinecone . From the incredible symmetry in a snowflake to the sweeping waves of sand across a desert , nature is filled with intriguing patterns and textures . These lines and arcs , curls and contours are the perfect complement to color : without the structure and dimension that patterns impose , even the most attractive hues would lack personality .
Thanks to the wealth of innovative patterns and textures available now in carpet , bringing those same captivating designs into your home and using them to create the atmosphere you want is easier than ever . Instead of playing it safe with a simple backdrop of conservative beige or a solid neutral , you can give your floor an active role in your design scheme , instantly evoking moods ranging from playful whimsy to relaxed serenity . Whether you prefer the contemporary boldness of modern geometrics or the classic formality of a fleur-de-lis , your options are virtually unlimited — and your home ’ s interior can reflect that same eye-catching beauty and character that is so delightful outside .
In fact , many new offerings are taking their cues from nature and incorporating even more exquisite detailing into their designs . Adorn , Lexmark ’ s most recent line of fashion-forward styles , uses the latest technology in tufting for the ultimate visual effect . Precise control of all the product components — the yarn density , pile height , specific cut and loop — delivers a deep multidimensional woven look and unparalleled richness in each pattern .
