Haberdashery always translates so well to the home, whether it's upholstery in a somber suit-style pinstripe, or draperies in tone-on-tone silk taken from a necktie. The current vogue for geek chic has seen bold reinterpretations of menswear-inspired home textiles, and I'm wild for this grand-scale argyle pattern carpet, in a chic and sexy achromatic scheme. It's preppy and playful, and generously sized at 8-by-11-feet. Price: $799 Available at: The Home Depot, 800-628-0525 for stores and to order.
