The floorscape of a room, or an entire home can be dramatically changed with a sweep of fresh new color on the floor. Decorating ideas about color, and its effects on people, have changed considerably over the years. In the area of carpet, time was when most people chose to have their residences broadloomed in beige, for its safe neutrality. ‘Neutral’? was a nice, un- complicated, non-statement-mak- ing complement to the furnishings. The other choice was usually green, because it was likened to nature’s most popular covering: grass. And working on the principle that flowers of every possible color and hue ‘“‘go with green’’ the same would hold true for a green carpet. Today, the color wheel has turned. The consumer has an ex- citing collection of choices to ex- plore, with colors more vibrant, more beautiful and more versatile than ever before. PERSONAL STYLE Color can alter the mood, the depth and dimension of any inte- tior space. The color choices you make should reflect your own per- sonal style. And personal style is the one element that distinguishes your home from everyone clse’s.

What kind of colors do you like to wear, and feel comfortable with? Examine the art you like and try to identify your preference of style and color com- binations. Do you like overall color themes, or do you like dramatic and unexpected contrasts. Is your lifestyle orderly and predictable, or do you thrive on disorder and con- stant change? Color themes have continued to fascinate designers and decorators the world over, for centuries. We've gone from neo-classical, to post-modern to the brash ‘‘state- ment’? colors of the sixties to the fresh pure colorscapes that now inhabit our interiors. The psychology of color plays an important role in many peoples’ lives. A color that one person finds stimulating could have quite the opposite effect on someone else. White is a good example. While not technically a color, white is often regarded by interior design- ers to be one of the most Stimulating hues to display art, which probably accounts for why most of the world’s art galleries have white display walls. The legendary all-white interiors of the famed designer, Syrie Maugham are still used as a refer- ence point by many of today’s design editors. Exciting as some people may find white to be, in a hospital or a recuperative environment, white is one of the least desirable colors to surround a patient with because it ARE.

EXERCISE OPTIONS Before you actually decide on the color of your new carpet, there are a few minor exercises you might want to address: Are you going to make your floorscape the focal point of the room, or do you want your floor to complement your present furnishings and wallcoverings? Do you want to make a room appear largez? An unbroken sweep of light color on the floor tends to make a room look larger. However, a deep rich colored carpet in a generous size room will create a more intimate atmosphere. But, if you have a passion for red and you don’t care for anything else, red it must be!
