CARPETING
& BERBER
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-size loose-laid or
wall to wall permanently installed over a cushion, this soft floor
covering, offers
many practical advantages. Broadloom's sweep of color and underfoot comfort gives any
room-even sparely set ones-a more "furnished" feeling. 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
subfloor, 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.
