Where does floor covering belong in the decorating process?
Many people select their floor covering first and then coordinate other products with that selection. The reason: It covers such a large expanse of the room and draws the eye. Frequently, the carpet is done in a neutral color that will work with a variety of paint colors, wallcovering patterns and furnishing styles. But that doesn’t have to be the case. Bolder use of pattern on the floor can set the tone for a room and help set your overall decorating direction. Independent decorating centers have a full range of products-not only flooring, but also paint, wallcoverings and window treatments. With their help and guidance, you can put together a complete look for your room or home that coordinates from floor to ceiling.
