Stainmaster & Vern Yip Offer Advice on Loft Decora
Atlanta, GA, April 4, 2006--Celebrity designer and Stainmaster carpet spokesperson Vern Yip offers advice on how to use custom bound or serged carpet in difficult layouts, and turn loft spaces into homes. Lofts have become a widely-accepted housing alternative embraced by young couples, empty nesters, and the trend conscious in cities nationwide. Cities such as Atlanta have seen a 24 percent increase in urban residential growth since 1990. Loft spaces are often industrial buildings converted into residential living areas with features such as high ceilings, large windows, and open floor space. The layouts in these residences can be a serious interior design challenge for professionals, and often more so for the average homeowner. Consumers can select a Stainmaster broadloom design and create custom bound or serged carpet as a solution to design challenges in a loft space. According to Vern, bound or serged carpet is an easy way to create separate areas, such as living and dining rooms. "Stainmaster carpet is available in a number of fashionable colors, textures, and patterns that can be bound or serged. The carpet will fit any décor and add interest to a living space. Bound or serged carpet can create a more cohesive design look in loft spaces." Custom carpet options are a great way to inject color into loft space. There may be a lot of brick and window space in some lofts, prohibiting the use of color on walls. "Loft owners should be willing to experiment with color by using carpet, drapes, and throw pillows to introduce color in a room," said Vern. "A modern, edgy style fits these types of spaces. People should explore chic window treatments, colors, furniture, and accessories." Stainmaster carpet is available in a variety of colors and constructions, and features the unique Stainmaster carpet stain and soil protection technology. Stainmaster carpet employs a repel and release technology that reduces the ability of soil to penetrate the carpet fiber and allows most food and beverage stains to be easily removed with cleaning. Stainmaster carpet is available in several innovative fiber technologies including ExtraBody fiber to provide more luxury and thickness than carpets of similar construction and Tactesse nylon fiber that makes carpets soft while maintaining durability.
