Trendy Carpets (NAPS)—Comfort has hit the floor. From nylons and berbers to saxony and textured plush, soft carpet makes its debut with classy, chic designs. These soft yarns maintain their high-performance protection like never before. @ Color trends reflect the same cozy comfort and rich “security colors” (saturated colors such as burgundy, navy blue and dark gold). Tried-and-true neutrals— beige, stone, and tan—are also popular—and fit easily into any color scheme. Perhaps the best part of the new styles, however, is invisible. The soft carpets of today have exceptional cleanability, and an incredible ability to provide protection while maintaining softness. One of the best ways to keep carpet looking good longer is to ensure it is manufactured with Scotchgard protection. Says Randy Sanford, product development director at Mohawk Industries, “Easy maintenance, easy cleanup, and soft texture. Now that’s a trend anyone can cozy up to.” Scotchgard is a trademark of 3M.
