e want our flooring to be beautiful, durable and affordable. When it comes to
color, style, patterns and textures, carpet’s back in fashion. Today’s carpeting has
evolved into softer and more durable flooring, but it’s also become much more
stain and odor resistant.
Aside from its many performance benefits, carpet has incredible aesthetic appeal. Carpet manufacturers today, are some of the world’s most creative artisans developing a wide array of captivating
patterns and textures. These include velvety cut piles, florals, geometrics, friezes, boucle’s, shags
and textured cut and loop piles.
Color it! Anyway you want to!
Many people prefer a neutral shade of carpet because it allows for greater flexibility, when adding
furniture and accessories. Neutral, palettes, have changed from browns and beiges of yesteryear,
while they are still neutrals, they have been joined by shades of greys, greens and blues. The newest called “Greige”, combines grey and beige tones. However, saturated shades provide tremendous
creative freedom. Dynamic colors can create stunning effects and therefore help to define areas of
the home with exhilarating style.
