 Sheepskin rugs, refinished old table, book-lined room. Our Library, Photo copyright M-J de Mesterton 2005 Below: The Home Library of Pamela and Averill Harriman, New York  Flat carpeting can be gorgeous.  
NOW AVAILABLE at Overstock.com: an elegant, grand velvet pair of curtains at a great price.Save on your energy bill by covering your windows with wooden blinds and then hanging the velvet curtains in front of them. I've located a low-priced source of elegant, wide-slatted wooden blinds.Build a library for very little money. All you need is lots of books, a few bucks, and the will to assemble these Sauder bookshelves.
Floor-coverings send important signals about the residents' taste. Among the most desirable: hardwood floors, marble, granite, ceramic tile, combined with area rugs, whether they are Native American, art pieces, or oriental. Sometimes, because of the condition of your floors, it isn't possible to expose them in your home. In these cases, a well-chosen style of carpeting will live up to your standards of elegance. The flatter, more velvety your carpeting, the more tasteful its appearance. Patterned styles are perfect for living rooms, libraries, dining rooms and even bedrooms. A high-pile will mark you as a low prole, so avoid thick and cushiony, deep carpeting. Here is a link that exemplifies the aforementioned low-cut carpet pile. If you can find a great price, this sort of carpeting can be less expensive than laying-in wooden floors. There are some types of carpeting made for hotels that are extremely elegant and durable, at great prices. Click here for one I located today. ~~Copyright M-J de Mesterton, July 2008 To Be Continued....
