Lifestyle Designer Kathy Ireland express...
Inspired by the rich, exotic and whimsical colors of hard surfaces like granites, carpet has grown beyond the neutral zone. Color can be playful or sophisticated, and it's easy to live with if you have children, pets or want to entertain.
Take a sample home. Live with it. See how it looks (and how you feel about it) throughout the day or during the time of the day you spend most at home; colors change their personality at different times of day, in different lights.
