It's Sweater Weather!

We are putting on our sweaters here at Cartozian Fine Flooring and Rugs!  This look from a Milan runway show reminds me of some of the sweater-like and nubby wool carpets our more fashion focused suppliers are showing.  Soft and Textural, these make a great flooring choice for a comfortable retreat.  From very casual random sized flecked loops to a little more tailored pattern which is still soft and sweater-y, you could really get cozy this winter with one of these carpets in your family room or den.

Turquoise is getting serious!

I have been loving all shades of Turquoise and Teal lately.  A blog called "House of Turquoise" caught my eye and the entries make me smile.  I think this color is getting serious.  We have at least 3 new products featuring this color, and Pantone names deep teal as one of the colors for Fall 2011.  The flooring in your home is a serious choice, and when manufacturers add colors to their line, it is a serious decision for them as well.  There is research done and designers involved with product launches and they are choices designed work for years in the consumer's interior.  I love the new Armstrong Duality G6012 color as well as pattern.  Karastan's Boston Common in color Charles River is next, then Surface Art's Umbria Slate in Multi Sierra.  It's your home, why not make it beautiful?
