There is nothing more breathetaking as walking into a house with a well fitted stripe carpet. Striped carpets come in various designs. The width of the lines may be equal or varied; and with two or more colour tones. Stripes of varied widths in contemporary tones have that magical effect of making the hall and stairs a focal point of the house. The visual effects created by stripes bring the carpet 'alive'. Whether you opt for a complete floor covering or having a striped runner revealing your original floorboards on either sides, stripy carpets are bound to give your living space a truly modern look.
