Experience and Vision

Seasoned designers understand that a room's foundation often starts with the carpet. Mark Nelson collaborates closely with design professionals to appreciate client needs and specifications and assess whether the carpet should be the room's focal point or a subtle backdrop. Each choice -- texture, color, material -- sets the tone, and Nelson's energy, creativity, and vision enhance the overall design experience. Like a couture dress, no two carpets or area rugs are the same. Mark Nelson Designs showcases the unexpected through hand-dyed yarns, unique fibers, and intricate weaves to ensure that every creation has its own signature touch.
