Choosing a carpet for a casual room means choosing something that is stylish and can stand up to heavy foot traffic. Rooms like family rooms, game rooms, playrooms and finished basements are places to hang out and spend time with friends and family.  You’ll want to find a carpet that looks great but is durable too.

Carpet materials like wool or blends can resist stains and work well in casual rooms. Natural jute or choir rugs add texture while keeping things casual.  A fine textured rug like saxony that shows foot traffic and vacuum marks probably isn’t the best choice for a casual room. Berbers, shags and low pile rugs would be better choices.  Don’t forget the pad when adding carpet to a family room or playroom. If you’ll be playing or sitting on the floor you’ll want the extra cushion from a quality, thick pad.

Floor tiles are a popular option as they can be combined to create custom color palettes and patterns.  A nice feature is if one gets a stain, you can simply remove it and replace it without having to replace the entire carpet.

Colorful and patterned area rugs and carpets are great choices for bringing interest to a casual room.  Add a complementary color from the wall or furniture colors for a strong contrast; pick a similar shade to wall color for a more unified look. Think about patterns, swirls, geometric and stripes, whether in texture or colors to add another design element to the room.

Bathrooms are now as well decorated as bedrooms. Before, bathrooms were simply viewed as places where you simply detoxify and cleanse your body. But now, bathrooms are considered as places of relaxation as well. Sometimes, they are even made to stand alone as a room in itself complete with all amenities.

There are many bathroom styles you can choose from but for now, let’s focus on the traditional style. In modern times, it is surprising that there are still a lot of people who choose to go for the traditional bathroom design. The main reason for this is because it is more formal, elegant and luxurious than many other styles.

What usually makes up a traditionally designed bathroom? The most important fixture found in this type of style is the bathtub. Usually a bathtub with claw feet is the focal point of a traditional bathroom style.

When it comes to flooring, traditional bathrooms are usually covered with ceramic tiles, marble, slate or hardwood flooring. The walls are usually painted white or calm blue.

Of course, we should not forget the lighting. In a traditionally styled bathroom, natural light or direct ceiling light is very important. Sometimes, chandeliers or scones are added to give the room a more elegant look.

The fixtures usually have graceful lines like that of an arched faucet with porcelain handles or sometimes a pedestal sink with a receded base. These examples look luxurious but are not really heavy on the pocketbook.

To accessorize, you can go for hand mirrors, wood boxes, a vanity bench, an antique glass or wash pitcher with basin with flowers in it, window treatments and wall arts with floral designs.

Luxurious and elegant – that is what best describes a traditional style bathroom. Visit with a Carpeteria flooring specialist to help you with your traditional style bathroom.
