It's CARPET TIME In Medford!
"Upstairs, downstairs and In milady's
chamber ..."
The old nursery rhyme might well
describe carpets and rugs in today's
homes. They literally "wander" all over
the house but not without purpose.
Just as plans and purposes of rooms
differ, modern carpets and rugs are de
signed in many different styles to fit
varied uses. It's a wise shopper who con
siders these. uses and selects her carpets
and rugs accordingly. '
The hall and stairway serve as the
passageway of the home and because
of constant traffic, should be carpeted
with the best and sturdist quality possible,
in this case a twist-textured carpeting :
which would help disguise footprints.
A child's room could be both cheerful
and practical with a colorful tweed carpet
on the floor.- In a family room, where
carpet cuts down noise and underscores
informal activity, a carpet with striated
, texture is a good choice. The pattern for
the dining room floor is another choice
1 for function-plus-beauty.
In almost every room of a home, car
pets and rugs can perform several jobs
with versatility. They can enhance decora
tion, reduce noise, add warmth and com- -fort
and ease housekeeping.
Color and texture, type of design and
ultimately totai quality are all consid
erations in choosing carpets and rugs.
These are factors to weigh against spe
cific use in making a wise choice.
Seeing new carpet styles designed to '
meet specific needs, shoppers will hav
happy hunting in Medford stores. Prac
icality and beauty share honors in new
presentations, aimed at filling the in
creased need for carpets and rugs in
today's homes.
Soft floor coverings now serve as
guideposts for the homemaker styling
to guide decorating, practical features
to set the pace for comfort and ease, .
new shopping convenience to aid in bet-
ter home planning.
