From sumptuous pastel plush to rugged
berber tweeds, carpet is a universally
popular floor covering. Broadloom has
long been synonymous with comfort and
luxury, but in today's eclectic room
schemes, carpeting is just one of numerous
soft options for a high-fashion floor.
Whether you choose a room-sizeloose-laid rug or wall to wall broadloom permanently installed over a cushion, this soft floor covering, offers many practical advantages. Carpet provides the perfect visual backdrop to any room's decor while providing both underfoot comfort and warmth. Carpet is a luxurious, practical, and econonical flooring option.
Colors can work magic, too. For example, a
light hue visually expands a small space, and a
dark one cozies up a large room. Carpet in a sunny color can visually warm a room
short on natural light. Before you buy carpets, study samples at home, and remember
that the color of a room-size carpet will be more intense than the samples.
Advantages of Carpeting
Materials and construction give carpeting inherent virtues that may suit your decorating needs.
Broadloom absorbs sound, an appealing feature for condominiums, town houses, and homes with high ceilings.
Yarn construction and surface texture add soft contrast to a room's angular architecture.
As versatile camouflage, Broadloom goes over any existing floor, with no need for a new sub-floor, and it hides uneven surfaces and existing floor damage.
Today, carpet is available with soil, stain, odor, and static-resistant features, and manufacturing techniques have increased its durability and cleanability.
