Ever lie around with the family on a cold tile floor playing games or watching TV? Never? How about stretching out on a warm, cozy carpet while your kids deal another hand of Go-Fish? There’s no substitute for carpeting to bring warmth and comfort to your living spaces and new technologies have made your options almost limitless.
Today’s carpets offer a huge variety of choices in style, color, durability, texture, fiber composition, patterns, – you name it and chances are we can provide it. New technology can produce beautiful patterns and designs in carpeting both with color and the very structure of the carpet itself, such as diamonds, bows, pin dot or fleur-de-lis designs that “pop out” in sculptured effects. From a practical standpoint, new stain and soil-resistant technology makes today’s lighter-colored carpets much easier to clean and maintain, meaning you don’t have to shy away from lighter colors for fear of how it will look a year from installation.
Because it covers so much living space, carpet is the foundation of your room’s décor and modern carpet offers exciting interior design options. However you choose to play it, carpeting can complement or contrast with patterns of your furniture and window treatments. Warm colors can turn up the heat in a room that lacks light, while cool greens and blues have a calming effect. Lighter colors make the room seem larger; darker colors provide coziness. Medium and darker colors, tweeds and textures are also good at hiding soil in your home’s high-traffic areas. Carpet color will look different under changing light con ditions so take your samples home and look at them by daylight and by lamplight.
Carpet can also blend beautifully with other floor treatments like hardwood and tile. Achieving that blend is an art that Lahaina Carpet & Interiors, Inc. would love to perform for you. In addition to carpet, we offer a full selection of other floorings, from bamboo and hardwoods to vinyl and laminates. Our expert staff can also help with coordinating fabrics for furniture through our in-house upholstery shop. And we are an exclusive Hunter Douglas Gallery Showroom for window treatments.
