 COLOR QUEST might be the oldest showroom at the Scottsdale Design District, but make no mistake they continue to offer superlative quality for the design trade with the finest in fabric, trims, wall covering, hardware and furniture.  
 
Spring is drawing near but at Color Quest Spring is already in the air. New spring lines are arriving daily, the showroom is bursting with spring color - these 2011 spring colors are definitely worth a look!

Aga John Logo

"It is when we come to study the design in Oriental Rugs that we are held fascinated; for a carpet unfolds itself like a plot of a story.  The predominating color first attracts the eye, then the general scheme of design, and lastly the pattern in detail with the figures symbolic of natural objects, that fasten the attention and make daily life with a rug a constant delight, with its ever new phases of beauty."     
Mary Beach Langton, 1904
