Color and texture are very personal preferences that will influence the appearance and “mood” created in your home. In most cases, carpet represents a major expanse of color which will accentuate your decorating schemes and also influence spatial relationships in your rooms. Here are a few tips to help guide you through your color choices:
- Warm colors such as red, orange and yellow are friendly and cheery
- Cool tones like blue and green are quiet and restful
- Cooler shades of blue and green will make small rooms look larger
- Yellow, orange, and red will make larger rooms more intimate and cozy
- Darker rooms can be brightened with warmer, lighter tones
- Bright rooms can be “cooled off” by selecting cooler carpet colors
In addition to aesthetic decisions in selecting carpet, you’ll need to take your family’s lifestyle into consideration to become attuned to practical matters - such as high traffic patterns. For instance, a hallway or entrance area will have more traffic passing through it than other rooms. In this case, you may want to select a darker shade or a multi-color carpet to help hide soil. Bear in mind, new soil and stain technology make today’s lighter color carpet much easiest to clean resulting in greater color choices. Whites, off-whites, gray values and lighter hues all add a sense of sophistication and refinement to any space . . . good alternative for rooms with less activity. Color for Your Homes carpets offer a multitude of decorating opportunities. Select styles and colors that will transform the visions in your mind into beautiful realities. |
