The Carpet Book

Long ago, when the choices of carpet were limited to basic beige, the designers tended to treat it more often than not as a neutral background for rooms. These days, with numerous patterns, textures, and colors to choose from, the carpet is quickly emerging as the focal point in many interior designs. I wrote this book for anyone that wants to learn about carpet and rugs, from laying them yourself and the materials needed to the history behind all the different types of carpet.
