Not everyone is born with the knack to put colors, fabrics and furnishings together so that they compliment each other. We have gathered some tips together from the Designers at MOHAWK to give you some ideas. If you are in need of help, please call on the professional design consultants at Lima Carpet. They will be happy to help you create the perfect look in all your rooms.
Define your look
Given your home's Architecture and your personality, begin by selecting a personal design theme. It's your world. It can be as different as Renaissance, early American or the traditionally elegant. You can use a variety of colors and textures, like that of paint and carpet, with varying materials from wood to metal to stone and how they complement your favored personal possessions
Select flooring suited to the use of the room
Look for traffic flow and how your family lives. Soft feeling berbers are an excellent choice for busy family gathering areas that beg for bold design elements like ornate wood and metal furnishings.
Select colors and tones with the same value range -- light, medium, or dark.
This results in a uniform, cohesive look. Gold tones, warm taupes and creams provide subtle color backdrops.
Design around elements you love
-- artwork, a sofa, a prized antique. Such treasures will help create your decorating palette.
Focus on Fabrics
Using three coordinated fabrics results in a high-end , professional design. Consider together with the rooms function, your choices will help determine color, texture and impact your overall design plan.
Texture is important
Multi-color twists, cable yarns, intriguing berbers and friezes can turn a strong color theme into an adventurous one by boosting or balancing other shades, tones and hues.
Wood is a color
Colors range from golden to burnt umber to dark brown. Be sure that your decorating scheme takes your wood's palette into consideration. For unlimited, economical and easy-to-change looks, fine specialty area rugs can dress up a room or make it more casual, especially with accessories and other design elements that reflect your fashion personality.
Laminate changes a room
The diversity of laminate opens up a world of unique design by mixing and matching different sizes and shapes of planks, tiles and squares. Dark tones make a room cozy. Lighter ones make it airy. Planks make a room look longer or wider while squares and tiles tend to make a room look more defined.
Preserve your design decisions
Regular and appropriate cleaning prolongs the life of your new room and keeps your color scheme as vibrant and true as you envisioned it.
