Lifestyle Designer Kathy Ireland express...
We're seeing a definite trend toward fashion in carpet. Textures, different types of yarn systems, different colorations, patterns, tone-on-tone prints, looped carpet, tip shears anything that has interest or fashion seems to be very accepted.
Area rugs are a great addition to any room. Lay one under a kitchen or dining table for a grounded feeling or a colorful accent. Just be sure to leave an 18-inch clearance for chairs.
