"For the Love of Lavender"

We received some new samples at the showroom the other day.  The style is called "Indescribable" It's the new "Silk"Smart Strand carpet fiber.  When I first heard about the "Silk" I secretly thought to myself, "can it reallllly be any softer than the other already super soft "Smart Strand"?  The answer is "yes" .   We just love it.  It is "indescribably" soft.  Rachel picked up the Lavender Lace color sample and held it up to show me how much she loved the color.

But where to use lavender carpet?

 I found two rooms that would be lovely with this color.
If one color provides enough of a base in a room, it can become the "neutral" for your color scheme. It doesn't need to be beige to be neutral.  This dining room really illustrates that point.  Lavender is definitely the neutral backdrop for this traditional room. It has the feel that the background  is  understated.  The interest comes from the fireplace, mouldings and accessories.  

What is your neutral?
