Carpets set
the style and
change mood

THE ARRAY of carpet patterns
and textures available today offers
consumers a panorama of
‘possibilities to change a mood, set
a style and create a uniquely per-
sonal environment.

Technology has transformed to-
day’s spectrum of carpet styles.
Rich, lustrous cut piles and pebbly
Berbers were once only available in
expensive wools.

Now, they are also made of
branded nylons which are not only
more economical but which offer a
previously-unheard-of degree of
stain resistance and permanent
built-in protection against soil,
static and wear.

For a more casual look, there
are nylon carpets with cut and loop
pile and multi-level loop pile com-
binations in sculptured patterns
and free flowing designs that
reflect the images in nature — a
wave-swept shore, a leaf-strewn
glen or a sky full of fluffy clouds.

Another option is the tightly
twisted plush or frieze (free-say)
carpet, with each tuft of yarn
crinkled so that it sits apart from
the next. This is an extremely
durable .carpet with a curly look
that is as at home in contemporary
or semi-formal rooms as it is in the
“most casual.

view to space as well as to style. Is
your room small? A flat and
smocth texture can make it seem
larger. Is your room large? A deep
texture or a dramatic pattern can
make it seem smaller.

Which patterns and textures can
live together in beautiful harmony?
In texture, contrast is important ~—
sleek and smooth surfaces such as
metal, glass or 2 mirror go
beautifully with deep pile textures
such as plush and saxony.

Do not mix patterns, too, but
choose patterns that are related in
design and different in scale. A
multi-toned carpet in the dining
room, a solid plush in the living
room, a level loop in the hallway
— all of these great combinations
are easy, thanks to many color co-
ordinated designs.

Don’t be afraid to experiment!
Unique combinations of yarns in
varying textures and in varying pile
heights further expand decorating
horizons.

New luster levels and shearing
techniques heighten the magic, ad-
ding still further to the many
design options waiting for you.

Have your carpet dealer show
you the many patterns and textures
available, then mix and match. Try
taking a few samples home with
you to see how they fit into your
environment.
