McCall’s Carpet One: September Design Tips

Natural-Tones Floors

Your floors are the home’s foundation and a great way to bring some light into your space. Natural tones can brighten up any room and open up the space. Natural tones also never go out of style, so you won’t have to worry about replacing them too quickly. You don’t have to be selective about your flooring options. Almost any material comes in natural color so you can use them through any area of the house.

Making a Statement with Area Rugs

An area rug can make or break your space, and finding the right one is key. Whether you want one that draws the eye or one purely to keep dirt directly off the floor, it can be the difference that pulls the room together. Without one, your space may look like it’s missing something. There are area rugs out there that suit everyone’s style, and the first step is finding the right one for you. There are other important factors that go into choosing an area rug because while you may like the style, you have to make sure the rug goes with the rest of the room and that it fits the space.
