Why You Need to Get a Nylon Carpet  

Choosing any type of carpet for your home is a nerve-wracking experience. There are so many choices out there that it can feel impossible to wade through them all. Understanding what each fiber has to offer you is one of the easiest ways to cut through your options fast. Since there are six different materials used to make carpets, you will quickly be able to cut your options down to 1/6 of their original size. While each material has something to offer, nylon in particular deserves some serious looking at. There are so many great qualities to nylon that make it an ideal choice for all your rug needs, and that is probably why more than half of the rugs made are nylon.

Nylon is an affordable material that can be made in to a very tough rug. While it is not the cheapest material, it is worth the extra cost in many instances. One of the best characteristics is the durability of a nylon carpet. It is the strongest carpet material out there. A nylon carpet can take beating after beating, and remain in great shape. That is why it is the ideal carpet for commercial use in high traffic areas like airports. The fibers hold their shape very well and it is very resistant to abrasion. Nylon is only mildly stain resistant, but most stains can be taken out easily if treated in time. A nylon carpet is also moisture and mildew resistant. It is prone to problems with static, but you would be hard-pressed to find a nylon carpet that didn’t have an anti-static treatment.

When looking at a nylon carpet it is important to distinguish which type of nylon it is. There are two types -6,6 and 6- and one is better than the other. While type 6,6 costs more money it is a higher quality product than type 6 nylon. Technology improvements have been narrowing the gap between the two types, and type 6 isn’t much worse than 6,6, so if you can get a really great deal on type 6 it might be worth taking.

Now that you understand a little more about why carpets are made from nylon, it should be easier to make a decision at the flooring store. Just do your research before buying, and look at more than one provider before you decide on the carpet you are bringing home.


Solid Hardwood Flooring – Prefinished vs Unfinished

                Wanting to redo the flooring in your house? Solid hardwood comes in a variety of different species, widths, thicknesses, and finishes. Different species of solid flooring may include ash, maple, red oak, and white oak, or exotic species such as Brazilian cherry, or tigerwood. Solid floor has been around for centuries and was at one point the main flooring used. Besides being very sturdy and reliable, solid hardwoods are a beautiful addition to your home. It is always a good idea to research every type flooring to find out what flooring suits your families needs the best.

                Solid flooring can be finished or unfinished. Unfinished flooring is just the way it sounds. It comes straight from the tree as a solid block. It is then sawn through to make strips of hardwood flooring. Once made into strips, tongue and groove is added to each side to make it easy to install. Unfinished hardwood has varying sizes of lengths to make for a flattering look when installed.   Once the unfinished flooring is laid, you can either choose to apply a clear coat to protect the flooring, and to bring out its natural beauty, or you can choose to finish it with a stain.

                The other option of solid flooring is finished solid flooring. This flooring will be finished right out of the box.   Consumers may find this to be more convenient than unfinished, but as always with convenience; it is a little more costly than unfinished. Finished flooring can come in a variety of finishes ranging from light to dark.

Bedroom Furnishings – They’ll really make Your Bedroom Come Alive!  

                A bedroom is not just a place to sleep, it is also a haven from the world, a place to read and hang out. When considering decorating options for your bedroom, think about the many ways you plan to use the space.

                Usually, a bedroom contains a bed, one or two nightstands, and a chest and/or a dresser. To improve the functionality of the room, consider the furniture that best suits the needs of the room.  There are many attractive types of furniture. From traditional, eclectic, or contemporary, there is guaranteed to be a line of furniture that expresses your individuality.

Additional seating provides more options for relaxing, reading, or sitting down to tie one’s shoes.  Seating arrangements can include a set of chairs with a table in between, or a small loveseat or bench at the end of the bed, or a chaise lounge on which to recline while reading a good book.  Built-in units, such as a built-in bench or a window seat can provide extra seating and storage. The extra furniture can actually make the place look larger and provide a focal point in the room.

                A desk makes a wonderful side table next to a bed.  With appropriate task lighting, this becomes a place for reading and writing.  When a mirror hangs over the desk, it does double duty as a place to open a laptop and also provide a place to apply makeup, jewelry, or fix one’s hair. The chair can either be at the desk or tucked nearby.            

Lighting sets the tone of the room. Dimmer switches on matching bedside lamps allows for different moods. Task lighting improves the functionality of the room.  Wall sconces or hanging lamps on either side of the bed can improve the lighting for reading in bed.  High wattage bulbs work best in those lamps.  There are many options available for hanging lamps. Choose a beautiful chandelier, or a hanging glass lantern, or a ceiling fan with an unusual fixture to hang from the ceiling.

A bedroom is your personal space so make it your own with colors and patterns that express your individual style. Whether you decide to decorate with bold colors and big patterns, calm neutral colors, or subtle patterns with soft neutrals, there are many choices available.

Wall treatments can individualize a room. Try a wall stencil, or choose a beautiful wallpaper pattern for a finished look. Experiment with a boldly painted wall treatment or keep it neutral - the choice is yours. 

Calm neutral colors can make your bedroom the ultimate peaceful retreat. Colors such as cream and taupe are restful. Varying neutrals can keep a bedroom from being boring. Use accent colors, such as blue, throughout the room. This color goes well with neutral colors and even with varying shades of brown from light tan to chocolate. White and cream go well together or separately.

                Accessories can liven up a room and give a neutral palette some color. The feeling of a room can vary with a quick change of the sheets. With a white or flexible neutral background, one could have vivid red sheets one week and calm browns the next.  Area rugs can provide color and warm up the atmosphere. Curtains can add a splash of color, or display a bold pattern, or even blend in with the walls to make the room look larger. Pillows can add punctuations of color around the room. An upholstered headboard can add a pop of color. The sky is the limit on the ways you can liven up a room. Whether you keep the same color tones or repeat a certain color throughout the room, accessories are an affordable way to change a room when a color scheme becomes tiresome.
