Considerations Involved When Carpeting a Home There was a time when familles had largo, carpets {n living and dining rooms. with mainly seater rugs in halls and bedrooms. ° Today, carpeting can’ be “found in every room in the house, including kitchen and bathroom, and it has therefore become a major houschold investment, Choice of carpeting de- pends on many factors—some esthetic, some practical, For example, pale gold carpeting may be just what you want for a living room that is essentially a:showroom, But) darker, heathery tweed carpeting may be riore appropriate in the family room, Here are some points to consider when choosing carpel- Ing for any room in your home: The, intended location of the ‘carpeting.
