<title>Commercial Carpeting &amp; Other Luxury Retail Store Decor Posted By: Mark Etinger</title>
<description>When it comes to setting up a luxury retail store, it's all about the decor. You already sell the luxury items, whether it's fine jewelry or designer clothing. But you need to have your space have the right ambiance that lets a person know that they've entered a store of true luxury. There's a few different ways you can do so.

First, think about flooring. You don't want ugly tiling or a boring wood floor. You want people to walk in and see that your floor is there to accommodate them, to provide a sense of comfort. Commercial carpeting is the way to go. Darker colors seem to suit a more luxurious style well. Anything too bright well be garish as well as much harder to clean. It's easier to let a dark purple rug get a little dirty before a steam clean than a white one. Make sure you measure your store properly before getting any commercial carpeting installed. If you don't want to do this yourself, most companies can do it for you and give you an estimate on the cost.

If a full rug isn't going to work, try Karastan area rugs.<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/carpet+brooklyn" rel="tag">carpet brooklyn</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/carpet+karastan" rel="tag">carpet karastan</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+rugs" rel="tag">commercial rugs</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/karastan+carpeting" rel="tag">karastan carpeting</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+rug" rel="tag">commercial rug</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+carpeting" rel="tag">commercial carpeting</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/karastan+carpets" rel="tag">karastan carpets</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/karastan+area+rugs" rel="tag">karastan area rugs</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial" rel="tag">commercial</a>]]></description>

<title>Vinyl Tile Flooring And Other Ways To Make Your Home Pet Proof Posted By: Mark Etinger</title>
<description>Owning a pet can be a joyous thing. They bring color to our lives, especially if we live on our own. They are an added addition the family, keep us company, and have been proven to lower blood pressure and have other positive affects on our health. Of course, owning a large pet like a cat or dog can be tough in any home because you have to deal with the potential consequences. But if you outfit your home with the right things, you won't have as much to worry about.

They also make a mess on it when they eat their food and their fur loves to cling into corners of the room. So you need to really think about your floor.

Vinyl tile flooring is one of the easiest flooring to install and the easiest to clean with your pet. Vinyl tile flooring can be easily swept and mopped without needing any sort of special treatment or cleaning solution like hard wood might need.<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/carpet+Brooklyn" rel="tag">carpet Brooklyn</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/carpet+karastan" rel="tag">carpet karastan</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+rug" rel="tag">commercial rug</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+carpeting" rel="tag">commercial carpeting</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/karastan+carpets" rel="tag">karastan carpets</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/karastan+area+rugs" rel="tag">karastan area rugs</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+carpeting" rel="tag">commercial carpeting</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/karastan+carpet" rel="tag">karastan carpet</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/carpeting" rel="tag">carpeting</a>]]></description>

<title>The Magic Of Commercial Carpeting Posted By: Mark Etinger</title>
<description>The legends of magic carpets were experiencing a bit of a Walt Disney's Aladdin lead renaissance when I was a kid. I remember being so intoxicated by the power of these normal household items. They were your key to international travel, not to mention the hearts of princesses everywhere. I was pretty sure in my youth that magic carpets were the future of transportation.

I know better now, and yet the right carpet seems no less magical to me. When I see a friend or family member willing to carpet Brooklyn living spaces, with all of the potential for damage inherent in people walking around what can occasionally be a fairly filthy city, I am just as impressed as I would be to see a magician pull a rabbit out of a hat. As you grow up if your perception allows for it, what astounds one in a "magical" way can become more practical. 

A "magic" carpet doesn't even have to look like the ones in the movie Aladdin, which was really more of a karastan area rug than a "carpet.<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/carpet+brooklyn" rel="tag">carpet brooklyn</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/carpet+karastan" rel="tag">carpet karastan</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+rugs" rel="tag">commercial rugs</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/karastan+carpeting" rel="tag">karastan carpeting</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+rug" rel="tag">commercial rug</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+carpeting" rel="tag">commercial carpeting</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/karastan+carpets" rel="tag">karastan carpets</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/karastan+carpet" rel="tag">karastan carpet</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/carpeting+floo" rel="tag">carpeting floo</a>]]></description>

<title>How To Cover Your Floors: From Karastan Area Rugs To Vinyl Tile Flooring Posted By: Mark Etinger</title>
<description>When you need to cover your floors, there are a lot of different options from which to choose. This article will discuss some of the more popular ones. 

1. Karastan Area Rugs: Area rugs can be a welcome addition to your home. They offer you a range of colors and sizes, as well as the option to keep parts of your floor, if it's wooden, exposed, for a lovely contrast. There are a couple of different materials Karastan area rugs are made of; namely, wool and silk. The former tends to be more affordable and is just as attractive - though slightly less shiny - as silk. 

2. Karastan carpet: The simple difference between Karastan carpet and Karastan area rugs is that carpet goes from wall to wall and doesn't move. Area rugs often need to be set on pads or have furniture resting on top of them so that they don't slide around dangerously. Karastan carpets can have an even warmer effect than Karastan area rugs and are perfect for libraries, rumpus rooms, and bedrooms. Karastan area rugs are better suited for kitchens, living rooms and dining rooms.

<title>A Karastan Carpet Helps The Planet Posted By: Mark Etinger</title>
<description>When discussing proper business ethics, who would have ever thought to look towards a commercial carpeting company? But that's exactly where we're looking today: At the Karastan Carpet Makers.

Karastan prides themselves on being rug "innovators since 1928." According to their official website, "The moment the first Karastan came off the loom (2:02 pm, April 8th 1928), their name became synonymous with elegant machine-made rugs that rivaled their handmade counterparts."

But perhaps more impressive in our current times is not that the Karastan Carpet company leads the way in carpet innovation, but that they have taken steps to progressively improve the impact their manufacturing and product creation has on the environment. 

One example is at their Georgia facility located in Sugar Valley. A recent law change prevented them from building an additional septic tank when their first approached its limit. There were plenty of solutions to this problem, many of which were less-than eco-friendly. However, the Karastan Carpet company took a somewhat radical approach by building an aerobic treatment unit. Using microbes, this aerobic treatment unit broke down the wastewater and helped create a pair of wetland fields.<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/karastan+area+rugs" rel="tag">karastan area rugs</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+carpeting" rel="tag">commercial carpeting</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/karastan+carpet" rel="tag">karastan carpet</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/carpeting+flooring" rel="tag">carpeting flooring</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/vinyl+tile+flooring" rel="tag">vinyl tile flooring</a>]]></description>

<title>How To Make Your Bedroom Cozy: From Karastan Area Rugs To Tibetan Tapestries Posted By: Mark Etinger</title>
<description>Your bedroom is your sanctuary. You want to be able to head home after a long day of work and unwind. Here are some tips to make it everything you could desire.

1. Paint: Neutral tones are boring. Harsh colors make your room appear smaller. Ideally, you want an earth-based color, like taupe, green, beige, or yellow. Darker colors like lavender or even deep blue can help you fall asleep, while lighter greens and blues make your room look bigger.

2. Karastan area rugs: These rugs are of an excellent quality and are affordable enough to have more than one in your room. Match one of the karastan area rugs with your wall colors. When you place furniture over your karastan area rugs, it makes your room seem much warmer and cozier.

3. Wall Decor: You probably want to stay away from posters, unless they're classy and framed. Retro movie posters are great collectibles and add good texture to your room. Pictures and photos of loved ones and friends are a great way to add a personal touch. Tapestries from eastern countries like Tibet and Nepal can provide your room with an alternative, more holistic paradigm.<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/karastan+area+rugs" rel="tag">karastan area rugs</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+carpeting" rel="tag">commercial carpeting</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/karastan+carpet" rel="tag">karastan carpet</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/carpeting+flooring" rel="tag">carpeting flooring</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/vinyl+tile+flooring" rel="tag">vinyl tile flooring</a>]]></description>

<title>How To Maintain Your Karastan Area Rugs Posted By: Mark Etinger</title>
<description>If you're shopping around for Karastan area rugs that are durable enough to keep up with your high traffic lifestyle, you should look into Karastan area rugs. One brand in particular, who is truly dedicated to crafting practical yet beautiful area rugs is Karastan. Karastan area rugs are a fantastic choice, not only because they look great, they quite tough! At the 1933-34 World's Fair in Chicago, the Karastan company created a large version of their Kirman pattern and invited visitors to track their muddy footprints across it. More than 5 million people walked across the rug leaving tons of dirt and grime behind. The Karastan company wanted to show the world just how their rugs could recover, and cleaned half of the rug. One half was dirty and disgusting, and the other half looked like it was fresh off of the loom. From then on, they became known as "The Wonder Rugs of America". If you are a current proud owner of an area rug, and are ready to clean it up, here are a few tips to help you restore its original luster, safely and effectively.<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/karastan+area+rugs" rel="tag">karastan area rugs</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+carpeting" rel="tag">commercial carpeting</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/karastan+carpet" rel="tag">karastan carpet</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/carpeting+flooring" rel="tag">carpeting flooring</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/vinyl+tile+flooring" rel="tag">vinyl tile flooring</a>]]></description>

<title>How Karastan Area Rugs Are Made Posted By: Mark Etinger</title>
<description>Recognized by several fashion magazines as the "mystery rug," this seemingly handmade rug has an interesting history that you definitely want to know.

The Karastan rug began its business in 1928 in Leakesville, North Carolina. A showcased machine-made Axminster loom grabbed buyers' attention because the rug seemed like a hand knotted rug, with a slight difference only experts noticed. The inventor behind these rugs, Marshall Field, cleverly took advantage of Karastan's popularity. Five short years later, in 1933, a Karastan oriental rug was the actual covering of the floor during a World Fair in Chicago. After 5 million pairs of feet had crushed and soiled the rug, Mr. Fields used half of the rug as a sample by having it cleaned and the half as a lifetime of resemblance of its durability. Today that piece stills exists and is proof the Karastan rug's durability and elegance.

Why Do Karastan Rugs Look Like They're Handmade?

The single interlocked unit feature is what makes a Karastan rug so durable. The power-driven production process of weaving is why a Karastan rug looks like it's handmade. They resemble the same look and feel of hand-knotted rugs.<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/karastan+area+rugs" rel="tag">karastan area rugs</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+carpeting" rel="tag">commercial carpeting</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/karastan+carpet" rel="tag">karastan carpet</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/carpeting+flooring" rel="tag">carpeting flooring</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/vinyl+tile+flooring" rel="tag">vinyl tile flooring</a>]]></description>

<title>How To Get Spills Out Of Karastan Area Rugs Posted By: Mark Etinger</title>
<description>A Karastan carpet is the ideal way to make your home cozier. Empty floors are cold and uninviting and Karastan area rugs are warm and soft. But when you buy a nice Karastan area carpet and you invite a friend over and they accidentally spill wine, you don't want to make them feel like a complete idiot for ruining your Karastan carpet. This article will help.

1. Blot the stain with paper towels. This will soak up most of the wine.

2. Mix 1 teaspoon of carpet shampoo (dish soap works too) with 1 cup hydrogen peroxide. Soak a sponge in the concoction and blot the stain, squeezing out the winey sponge, and repeating until the stain is gone.

3. Sponge the spot with warm water and blot it dry with more paper towels.

4. Repairs: Sometimes fine rugs have spills or wear, and need to be repaired. A rug cleaning specialist will be able to make your rug look brand new, but it will cost you.

Maybe you want to wash your rug after years of dirt buildup. Here are some steps to do that:

1. Vacuum.

2. Add a mild cleaner to a bucket of water.

<title>The Wonderful Beauty Of Karastan Rugs Posted By: Abbie Osborne-Wilson</title>
<description>Back in 1928 Marshall Field had made the first loom in which a woven rug would be made. This is when Karastan rugs were first made, and at that time they were called "Mystery Rugs". With the loom being made and the mechanical technology added to the way a Karastan rug was made.During the 1933-34 World's Fair in Chicago, Karastan created a large version of its Kirman pattern. Instead of just displaying the rug, they asked visitors to walk on the rug to test its ability to be cleaned. Over 5 million people walked over the rug and even spilled food on it and rubbed it in. No one thought that it could be cleaned; it was filthy. Karastan cleaned one side of the rug, leaving the other side soiled in order to show the difference. The results were amazing. The side cleaned was pristine.Karastan offers a wide variety of rugs and carpets. The textures presented include Berbers, loop piles, cut piles, cut and loop piles and shag. A choice of synthetic or wool fibers can be chosen. There are many size from which to choose, starting at 2' 10" width x 5'9" length.<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Karastan+rug" rel="tag">Karastan rug</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/area+rugs" rel="tag">area rugs</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/rugs" rel="tag">rugs</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/flooring" rel="tag">flooring</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/floors" rel="tag">floors</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/home+decor" rel="tag">home decor</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/home+decorating" rel="tag">home decorating</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/interior+design" rel="tag">interior design</a>]]></description>

<title>Green Floor Cleaning From Commercial Carpeting To Vinyl Tile Flooring Posted By: Mark Etinger</title>
<description>The Short List: Our Top 3 Tips

1. Bare feet. Most cultures in the world practice taking their shoes off inside the house. This invites your family and your guests to relax, and cuts down dramatically on wear and tear to your floors, be they karastan carpet, hardwood, laminate or vinyl tile flooring.

2. Enjoy sweeping regularly as a meditative exercise. Alternatively, if you're not the meditative type, practice your dance steps with the broom.

3. Vinegar is your secret weapon in green cleaning. A 5% solution of vinegar kills 99 percent of bacteria, 82 percent of mold, and 80 percent of germs. And it's non-toxic!

Now You're Ready For The Nitty Gritty (But Is The Nitty Gritty Ready For You?)

1. Sweep. You've learned to love it for your own meditative or booty-shaking purposes, but your flooring likes it, too. What this does? Think about it. A broom is a light touch. You don't want to drag any small stones or other objects around the floor with a wet mop, as they may scratch.

2. Fill a bucket with warm water, add a drop of castile soap and a capful of vinegar.<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/karastan+area+rugs" rel="tag">karastan area rugs</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/commercial+carpeting" rel="tag">commercial carpeting</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/karastan+carpet" rel="tag">karastan carpet</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/carpeting+flooring" rel="tag">carpeting flooring</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/vinyl+tile+flooring" rel="tag">vinyl tile flooring</a>]]></description>

<title>How To Choose The Right Carpeting Flooring For Your New Home Posted By: Mark Etinger</title>
<description>The easiest way to turn your new home from a sterile space to a lived-in nest is as easy as introducing plush, new carpeting flooring. Nothing feels better or makes a room more inviting than the casual comfort of a well-chosen carpet. Before zeroing in on design elements like color schemes and patterns, tackle the basics by knowing the perfect fabric for your needs.

Most carpets are a blend of natural and synthetic fibers, with most weaving in one material more prominently than another. Choosing the right blend has everything to do with your carpeting flooring priorities. Is durability the most important characteristic to you? Prefer a soft fiber that's ideal for walking barefoot? Looking for a tough, stain-resistant blend? Start familiarizing yourself with the benefits of the most popular materials on the market:

Nylon Pros: The most popular (and strongest) material in carpet production, this yarn keeps its shape, is highly stain-resistant, and holds up to tumbling and foot traffic exceptionally well. Cons: An easy target for conducting static electricity.

Polypropylene Pros: A growing component of manufactured carpets, this fiber is affordable, ultra-durable and particularly good at deflecting signs of pizza accidents and other oil-based stains.<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/karastan+area+rugs" rel="tag">karastan area rugs</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/carpeting+flooring" rel="tag">carpeting flooring</a>]]></description>
