Rugs in the house

The heart of the house is usually die living room. Here you put your best foot forward, though remembering that it should be comfortable and fun for your family as well as attractive to out­siders.

Sometimes this means compromise with your dream of the perfect room, but the family comes first and your floorcovering must be practical as well as attractive.

In a large house the intimate family gathering place is usually a small sitting room or library (there is a playroom for the chil­dren) and you can go all out on as formal and fragile a living (or drawing) room carpet as your tastes dictate.
