Carpets are used for a variety of purposes, including insulating a person’s feet from a cold tile or concrete floor, making a room more comfortable as a place to sit on the floor, reducing sound from walking and adding decoration or color to a room. Carpets can be made in any color by using differently dyed fibers. Carpets can have many different types of patterns and motifs used to decorate the surface.
Carpet tiles have the bonus of being easy to install and replaced, making them a wonderful option for homes with high traffic, children, pets or homeowners who enjoy swapping out colors schemes and themes every so often
Tips on Buying Carpet
Here are our top tips on buying carpet. You don’t buy carpet very often and you will walk on it every day, so it is worth ensuring you buy what is right for you.We recommend you think about:
| The room | A bedroom, for example, takes far less wear than a stair carpet. |
| Your colour scheme | Are you matching the carpet to a particular scheme? What are your future decorating plans? |
| Longevity | Is it a quick fix or do you want it to last a long time? |
| Your budget | How much can you afford? Don’t forget to include cost of fitting and underlay. Carpet is like most things in life – you get what you pay for. |
| Plain or patterned | A plain carpet gives more flexibility for the use of pattern elsewhere in the room. Patterned carpet provides more colour options. |
