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
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.
