Nov. 12, 2008 - PRLog -- KENNESAW, Ga. — In home design, color plays a major role, offering depth, dimension and even luxury to any décor. Wear-Dated carpet fiber provides homeowners with a wealth of ways to explore the rich benefits of color, from its Field Guide to Color 2008 Color Folio to the Wear-Dated Web site’s (http://www.weardated.com) Design A Room function, allowing visitors to actually view carpet colors in a specific room setting.

In its fall 2008 issue, Fabulous Floors Magazine features the Wear-Dated Field Guide to Color in depth in an article titled “Designer’s Walk” written by Sonna Calandrino, editor-in-chief. The article explores color and color palettes and discusses how homeowners can effectively use color in their own homes. It can be downloaded from the Wear-Dated website (http://www.weardated.com/Newsroom/tabid/66/EntryID/253/Default.aspx ).

“An important aspect of our color forecasts is that a consumer can use them to create their own color palette,” says Ann Hurley, creative manager for color and product for Wear-Dated carpet fiber.  “We want consumers to infuse their homes with color, and we hope that our tools inspire them.”

The Field Guide is based on the nature paintings of John J. Audubon and depicts the naturally brilliant color combinations he explores. Each print includes tear-off color chips that homeowners can use to design their own color palettes. “Designer’s Walk” describes the process and features several of the Field Guide to Color combinations to help consumers confidently pull together color palettes for their own homes.

Wear-Dated offers the following tips on incorporating color into your home – and your carpet:
• As you think about color options, consider what other fabrics, patterns, textures or elements you want to unify in your room to create the environment you want.
• A good rule of thumb is to pair complementary colors (hues on opposite sides of the color wheel). This usually results in a room that generates high praise!
• Consider carpet a “fifth wall” since it absolutely plays a role in the overall effect you are trying to create in your home.
• For high-traffic common areas, you might consider colors and patterns that don’t draw attention to the normal comings and goings of your household.
