"Design creative carpet solutions. Many people would like to vary the color of wall-to-wall carpet in their house, but don't like the chopped up look of one color meeting another at a doorway. If you want your main living areas to have gray carpet, but want the bedroom to be burgundy, let the gray carpet run around the perimeter of the bedroom and put the burgundy in the center."

"Do you have a white room? Wood tones on the floor and furniture bring warmth into all-white spaces."

"Ask most Americans to name their favorite color, and they’ll answer blue. But blue can be a tricky color to use on a house exterior. Primary shades look cheap and “fast-foody”, while pale shades can look like a baby shower or an after-dinner mint. The most successful blues are the grayed- down slate and greenish shades so common in New England—these gray-green, low-value blues look pretty in the gray Northeast light, weather well and resist fading. "


"Work with 3 or 4 main colors. Select a wall color that will contrast with your carpet. Avoid using too much of a single color. Vary your colors with light, medium and dark hues."

"Layering a small rug over wall-to-wall carpeting can draw the eye to a conversation area or other focal point of a room."

 


"In general, lighter, paler, or less intense colors on your floor and walls will enlarge the apparent space. Darker or more intense colors will shrink it."
