Carpet
A Love Affair of the Senses
A
s homeowners flirt with any number of flooring options,
they look to carpet which offers alluring beauty, reassuring
strength and sensual softness.
Look for soft color palettes—subtle tones—knowing you can have any color you wish!
Look also for textures, patterns and feel. (Soft carpet is still very much “in.”)
Carpet always has been, and continues to be, a rich foundation for décor deci-
sions. You can recreate classic looks or borrow ideas from the elegant homes and
design artists you admire for an altogether updated look.
But design can and should also be personal. Carpet choice can be your way to
break through conventional thinking and introduce your own personality and vision.
Carpet allows you to make a room cozy, playful, dramatic or elegant. It also helps cre-
ate a continuous flowing, tasteful design room to room and floor to floor. Carpet is
great to match with wood or ceramic, and to create personalized custom looks—and
to do so economically. >>
