Question
I have an open floor plan with dark cherry kitchen cabinets over light tile, a floor to ceiling brick fireplace in the living room area, and a light tiled area by the front door.
I'm replacing the existing carpet with strand woven bamboo. Should i choose the wheat colored natural or the darker carbonized?

Answer
Hi Debbie,

There's no "rule" here.  You need to choose the bamboo that pleases you most.  Either will coordinate with your cabinetry and tile.  This one's just a matter of personal preference.

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.
