Question
i recently pulled panelling off my family room and painted the walls a dark sage..my furniture is dark brown leather..what color should choose for carpeting
Hi Pattie,
Since everything is dark, you might want to consider a lighter color for the floor. Typically I recommend a berber carpet and one that incorporates several "flecks" of color in it. I would probably look for a neutral camel color.
Regards,
Jenny

Experience
College, advertising, public relations, marketing, free-lance writing and a plethora of creative endeavors have led me here. As an entrepreneur in decorative product design, I learned the hard way how tough it can be to be in business for yourself. A stint at a law firm taught me humility too. Some three thousand questions ago, I wondered if I could really help.
