New carpeting is like a makeover for your home, literally transforming its look and feel.
Martha recently installed a new sisal carpet in her East Hampton home, with Arash Yaraghi, owner of Safavieh rug makers, leading the process.
Arash shares three basic considerations for choosing rugs and carpets:
1. Pick out a color that relates to and complements the palette in the room.
2. Choose a rug style that works with the room's decor, whether it's traditional, contemporary, or modern.
3. User lighter colors in low-traffic areas and sturdier weaves with darker colors for high-traffic areas, such as entryways.
