Neutral Colours
Neutral colours are mixes where no strong colour is evident. Since all colours tend to make brown, neutrals cover a large array of colours from browns that run from the warm, red brown of milk chocolate, to the cooler taupes and stone colours, to the light beige off whites. Neutrals are rarely exciting in their own right, but they become very exciting and sophisticated with put together with one another and with a feature colour. Neutrals offer a wide array of colours and can be used liberally as a base for any room.
Cool Colours
Blues, cool browns, greys and the cool off whites are cooling in that they are calming, focusing and soothing our intellect, which craves a cooler atmosphere. These colours quiet the emotions and sharpen our thoughts, allowing our mind to do its best work. Cool colours are therefore best in private rooms where concentration, calmness and rest are most important, such as the bedroom, office, and nursery.
Warm Colours
Reds, oranges, yellows and all the off whites possess the qualities of warmth in that they are hot, stimulating and soothing to our emotions. Warm colours work well in social rooms such as the living room, dining room and kitchen. They are also ideal for restaurants and bars, where socialising, eating and drinking are paramount.

Woven
Weaving is the traditional method of carpet manufacture, with the two most common methods being Axminster and Wilton, which are extremely hard wearing carpets. The highest quality woven carpets are generally made with 80% wool and 20% nylon yarn. As the majority of woven carpets are patterned, weaving is a slower production method and construction gives a heavier tuft density, thereby improving performance.
Cut And Loop
These carpets have a combination of cut and looped yarns and can create sculptured effects such as squares, swirls and so on. This effect is good for hiding dirt and footprints.
Loop Pile
These carpets are made up of individual strands of yarn pulled through the carpet backing twice to create a small loop. Loops can be all the same height (level loop pile) or two or three different heights (multi-level loop pile) to create a pattern. Loop pile tends to give a more casual look and is not susceptible to cut pile reversal (shading) are have two popular styles.Berber commonly comes in earthy tones with a flecked appearance and offers great serviceability. Sisal has tighter loops at the same or alternate heights and a good for high-traffic areas.
Cut Pile
In cut pile carpets the loops stand straight up. Cut pile has a more luxurious, formal look than loop pile and comes in three main styles: Plush carpets are smooth, soft and elegant. The carpet pile is cut several times to create a velvety sheen but is susceptible to cut pile reversal(watermarking).Saxony carpets are similar to velvet, but not quite as smooth.Twist carpets have tightly twisted fibres that curl slightly at the pile surface. Shading is not as prevalent as in a plush carpet and twist carpets are more serviceable.
