Taking A Stand On Carpeting

  It is usually not a good idea to skimp on the quality of any major decorative element, but this is especially true of carpeting.  No other home furnishing offers the decorative impact, the sound-insulating qualities, the warmth and comfort that carpeting does.  For all these reasons, it makes the best sense to purchase the highest-quality carpeting that one can afford - even if it means waiting for finances to catch up to taste preferences.  Not only will high-quality carpeting look and perform better, it will last longer.  It will more than pay for itself past the point where lesser-quality goods will have had to be pulled up and replaced.  High-quality broadloom provides a far-reaching fashion statement upon which all other decorative elements can stand.  Begin your decorative strategy from the ground up with the choice of carpet color and texture.

  From your floors to your windows and walls, [Carole Frances Interior Design] has the quality merchandise required to create the look you desire.  The latest fashion ideas for your home await your selection.  Let us help you coordinate floors, walls and windows to complement and enhance your personal style.

Padding About The Carpet

  "Carpet padding comes in a variety of types, weights, and thickness in order to cover a range of traffic conditions.  Sponge rubber, foam rubber, urethane foam, bonded urethane, and felted (a mixture of hair and jute) are the most common constructions.  In order to select the proper type, weight and thickness, it is important to carefully describe the type of traffic found in each area to be covered by carpeting.  It is popularly believed that a thick, soft padding gives the most desirable feel underfoot.  Soft padding, however, is not at all recommeneded for such high-traffic areas as stairs or family rooms.  It would only encourage excessive flexing, buckling and wrinkling which would promote undue wear in the backing yarns of the carpet.  For these areas, denser, firmer padding should be the choice.
  Your newly decorated room should be a statement about you.  It should be a reflection of your tastes and life style." - On Interior Design
