Wall-to-wall style

Article Abstract:

Wall-to-wall carpeting used to be a mundane affair with a neutral field of smooth-cut pile but synthetic yarns, advanced dyeing techniques, and new manufacturing processes have produced carpet with more texture, color, durability, and stain resistance than before. New looms can combine different piles to create a pattern, like a floral or geometric print and the resulting carpets become the focal point of the decor.
