Bedroom rugs

Your bedroom is a very personal place and only you should decide whether it will be gay, bright and busy, cool and quiet, frilly and feminine or plain and simple.

If you share it with your husband it should not be so cluttered with ruffles and bibelots that he feels like a bull in a china shop.

Most people want a bedroom that is, above all, restful and quiet. This means colors of low chroma and usually light values, with not too much sharp contrast.

Wall-to-wall carpet with a deep pile is perfect because it absorbs noise and feels soft and warm underfoot. If the expense seems too great, however, rugs made of the carpet you like can be cut to fit around the beds and other large pieces of furniture so that practically all of the exposed floor is covered and the effect is almost as luxurious as that of a completely covered floor.
