Color
These days, you can buy carpet in just about
any color imaginable. And most of those colors are available
in all kinds of different styles. So, the trick is to match
up both the style and color that are right for your home.
Which is something the sales representatives at Beckler's
have been doing for their customers for years. And it's something
they'd like to help you with. So take a look at the following
tips and make choosing the right look for your home easy.
Only you can decide exactly which color is right for your
home. But since there are several things color can help you
do for your home, you might want to give some thought to the
following questions.
Are
you carpeting a small or large room?
If you want to make a large room look cozier, you might want
to consider darker colors. On the other hand, if you're trying
to make a small room seem larger, you might consider lighter
color carpets and painting the walls a lighter shade of your
carpet color to create the illusion of a larger room.

Are
you carpeting a dark room or one that gets lots of sunlight?
If you want to make a dark room seem brighter and more cheerful,
choose bright colors, such as yellows, oranges, or reds. But
if you want to make a bright room seem a bit more formal,
choose cooler colors, such as blues, greens or violets.
Are
you carpeting an active or quiet area of your home?
When you're carpeting an active environment,
such as a family room, warm reds and oranges can complement
the mood. And when you're carpeting
quieter areas, like bedrooms, cool blues and greens will help
maintain the serene feeling.

"Finding
the right color is really important to our customers.
I once had someone send in a washcloth, because it was
the only thing she had that showed the exact color she
was looking for. But once I knew the color she wanted,
I was able to send her a bunch of different samples
to choose from. She picked one of them and placed her
order the next week. All because of a washcloth."

Are
you carpeting an area near an outside door or an uncarpeted
area?
Most of the soil that can get trapped in a carpet comes in
from outside or is picked up from the uncarpeted areas of
your home. If the soil most likely to be tracked around your
home is dark, you can hide it with dark-colored carpets, such
as browns, deep blues or dark reds. But if the soil coming
into your home is lighter in color, you may want to hide it
with lighter-color carpets.
