10 tips for choosing the perfect carpet
Planning new carpets for your home, office or commercial space? Few things compare to the sheer luxury and comfort of fresh carpet underfoot, especially at home. Tiles and laminate flooring may be easier to clean, but nothing feels as soft and welcoming as carpet. If your heart is set on carpet but you are unsure which type, style or texture will suit you best, these tips will point you in the right direction:
- Set your budget: Start here. Once you know what you would like to spend, it is far easier to narrow down your options, and your carpet supplier can show you samples from the ranges that fit. Remember to factor in the size of the room, as carpet is priced per square metre.
- Know your carpet types: The choice can feel overwhelming until you know the basics. There are three main types of carpet pile: loop pile, cut pile and woven. Loop pile carpets have looped fibres, while cut pile carpets are sheared to reveal the fibre ends. Both are popular and each has its own benefits. Woven carpets are made on large looms that weave bobbins of carpet yarn together with the backing. Once you know which type you want, the final choice becomes much simpler.
