HOME DESIGN CHAT WITH NANCY

Wall-to-wall carpet became popular in the 1950s when it became more affordable for everyday families and not just the wealthy.  People used carpeting in those days not knowing the pros and cons.  It just looked good and was affordable.  Times have changed. The consumers are more educated and want to know about the products they put in their home.
