Carpet as Décor |

Learn more about making your carpet an important element in your
vision for your home.
Because it covers so much living space, carpet is the foundation of
your room’s décor. It can be a neutral color, blending in with fabrics
and other surfaces, or it can be a vibrant focal point of the room,
making a statement that reflects your style.
Carpet comes in almost every color you can imagine and is a personal
choice. You will want to select a color that unites your decorative
elements and creates the atmosphere you desire. Ever-popular beige
carpet can make a room look spacious, but for a bolder statement, look
for a common color in your furniture and draperies. Choose a carpet
with a similar hue. Environmental colors, like blues, deep greens, rosy
quartz and stony neutrals are becoming increasingly popular.
Warm colors can turn up the heat in a room that lacks light, while cool
greens and blues have a calming effect. Lighter colors make the room
seem larger; darker colors provide coziness. There are also practical
considerations in color selection. New stain and soil resistant
technology makes today's lighter color carpet much easier to clean,
allowing for more decorating options. Medium and darker colors, tweeds
and textures are good at hiding soil in your home's high-traffic areas.
Also, know that the color of your carpet will look different under
different lighting conditions. Make sure to take your samples home and
look at them by daylight and by lamplight.
