How to choose rugs

In many figured floorcoverings, such as florals, you will find a complete range of high to low intensity, light to dark values and warm to cool colors, used in juxtaposition and proportioned so the general effect is of middle value and moderate chroma, with the predominating color or family of colors giving the over­all hue.

Plain or self-tone floorcoverings are made in practically every hue, every value and every intensity.

Choosing your floorcovering is a matter of personal taste, tempered always by the effect you wish to create. Whether your room looks warm or cool, large or small, light or dark, exciting or restful, depends on the color scheme you plan.

Study your own problems; analyze rooms you like; please your own taste and that of your family. Color is your best and cheapest tool.
