Carpet used to be seen as a basic feature of homes. The more neutral the better was the order of the day. Today, however, new manufacturing materials and techniques have opened up a much wider range of selections for carpet. Carpet is one of the easiest - and most popular - ways to personalize a home. Looking to add a little something extra to your home? Look no further than Indianapolis' carpet expert: Kermans Fine Flooring.

Looking beyond neutral
Variations of beige are still a popular color choice for carpet but even beige has its variations. Many Central Indiana homeowners are selecting a beige base color with flecks of color. These flecks not only add interest and color to a room, they also mask spills, stains and traffic patterns. You can find carpet with these flecks of color on more than just beige - greens, golds and soft blues are becoming popular color choices. View some room scenes to get a feel for some different color options.

Patterns & texture
When people think of carpet they often picture cut pile or the velvety look of Saxony. The tight loops and thick yarns of Berber have also caught in popularity in recent years. These carpet styles are still certainly popular. But today's manufacturers offer so many more choices - cut loops, textured patterns, tone on tone, twisted yarns... people are often surprised at just how different even the same color can look when you give it a different texture. Check out some of the more popular styles of carpets before you visit Kermans so that you have a better feel for the many available options.

Why area rugs? 
Area rugs may be the most versatile flooring product available. You can use an area rug to change the character of a room; to define a space; to add a touch of softness and sound absorption or to deliver a colorful finishing touch.

• There is a color, style and type of area rug for every lifestyle and budget. 
• Area rugs can be installed on top of hardwood, stone or even wall-to-wall carpet. 
• While they are beautiful works of art, an area rug is meant to be walked on and is easy to care for.
