When it comes to choosing a carpet for your home, it helps to know what to look out for. Read more below and find something that is best suited to you.
One thing to consider is where you are putting the carpet down. For example, a bedroom won’t have as many people walking up and down it regularly, so you can have a softer surface.
In contrast, in the areas with heavier traffic areas (such as the main hall and corridors), you will need something a bit more durable. The way to ensure a more durable surface is to use a carpet with closely knitted fibres.
Choosing the right color carpet for your space is a vital decision that can significantly impact the overall look and feel of your room. When selecting the perfect hue, consider the existing decor and the atmosphere you wish to create. For a sense of calm and tranquility, opt for soft, neutral tones like beige, ivory, or light gray, as they effortlessly blend with various interior styles. If you crave a bold statement, vibrant colors like deep blue, emerald green, or rich burgundy can infuse a space with personality and energy.
Keep in mind that lighter shades can make a room appear more spacious, while darker tones add coziness and warmth. Additionally, factor in practicality, as lighter colors may show stains less but require more frequent cleaning, while darker colors can better conceal dirt in high-traffic areas.
By thoughtfully considering these elements, you’ll find a carpet color that not only complements your decor but also elevates the ambiance of your living space.
While wool costs more, it is often used because it is more durable. It is also more resilient and also serves as an effective form of insulation (both in terms of trapping heat and reducing noise). Nylon is also a popular option as it allows for a wider range of colours than wool.
Another common example is polypropylene, a man-made fibre that is popular because it is both stain resistant and hardwearing. We know polyester is a softer material, though that is more commonly used as part of a mix with other fibres.
We recommend that you get a sample before you make a purchase. The reason for this is that you can use the sample to see how the surface is affected by light reflecting from it. Physically treading on the sample will also give you an idea of how quickly it goes back to its original shape after people walk over it.
