Lifestyle Designer Kathy Ireland express...
Ask yourself this: "What do I want my home to feel like when I walk into the door?" Do I want it to be a quiet oasis with soothing color palettes? This can be achieved by layering multiple patterns in fabrics and soft luscious carpets. The soft surfaces not only absorb irritating noice, but also insulate the interior space. What's more soothing than kicking off your shoes and wiggling your toes in the soft carpet.
Interior designers agree that every home has a place for an area rug. Layering in home decor is as fashionable as layering clothing. Don't hesitate to add color and warmth by adding a rug to hardwood, ceramic or even carpeting.
