Real Estate: The Oakville Beaver, W e d n e sd a y F e b ru a ry 8, 2006 - 11 The carpet connection - a new luxury for Canadian homeowners (NC)--Did you know that Canadians are redirecting their investments to their homes and that the average homeowner spent approximately $10,000 'on renovations and home furnishings last year? Today, the home represents not only our personal haven and welcome retreat for the end of a long, busy day, but is also an important source of enter tainment, creativity and pride. The latest trend shows that middle-class Canadians are increasingly "trading-up", especially when it comes to home decor and are surrounding themselves with products of higher quality, value, design, and prestige. Today, the need for individuality and selfexpression is paramount. Coupled with a strong sense of self and the focus on health and wellness, we have a desire to surround ourselves with things that make us feel good about ourselves, happy and comfortable, because "we deserve i t !" The emerging demand by consumers for premium products and new luxury for the home is impacting the floor covering market since the floor forms the very base of great room design. Manufacturers and designers are putting their best foot forward and drawing on nature and cultural trends to create a whole new gen eration of wall-to-wall carpet that offers supe rior performance, excellent value and a fash ion statement. Combining texture and pattern, with the latest range of designer colors, wall-to-wall carpet has evolved into a whole new and important design medium. Depending on your taste and decor style, you can choose from simple, eye-appealing woven and riblook patterns, to subtle tonal overprints to bolder, more luxurious botanical or geometric embossed and sculpted carpet styles. With the advancement of fiber technology, for new brands such as SoftScape and Tkctesse the surface touch is cottony-soft, like a pair of comfy slippers underfoot while the design and performance of these new carpet styles are superior. For more information on these brands and decorating with carpet today, visit www.yourhomestyle.ca or the retailer nearest you. Not only are the latest surface designs more exciting and luxurious, look for wall-towall carpet made with the new LuxuryBac soft backing, offered by Beaulieu Canada, Canada's largest carpet manufacturer. This revolution ary premium backing was engineered to add lifetime strength and stability to your carpet, helps it maintain its wrinkle-free shape and pattern and actually adds to the thermal and noise insulation value of the flooring. Today's welcoming interiors are indulgent, simply sophisticated, and strong, warm, and livable. Define your own style and create your home oasis by surrounding yourself with the things that make you feel good, from the floor up. lii!!ii!ii!!!Hi!iit!
