Q: We just bought our first house and the seller has agreed to pay for recarpeting. Now, I have to select carpet colors for rooms in which I don't even have any furniture or drapes. Any ideas on how I can make a decision now that I'll be happy with in the future?

A: Your best bet is to select a neutral in a shade you like, i.e. warm (yellow or red cast) or cool (blue or green cast). If this sounds too bland for you, consider going with a soft, "neutralized" version of a color family you like. For example, there are a variety of environmental greens featured in carpet color lines these days. They are easy to decorate around and co-ordinate with a variety of other color families.
