How to choose carpet

PROJECT PLANNING

With the huge amount of materials, colours and patterns available, finding the right style of carpet within your budget can be tricky. Plus, balancing style with functionality adds another layer of compromise. Not all carpets are suitable for use in every room, as certain types will last better in specific areas, depending on what the room is used for and how much footfall it gets. Carpet is a big investment too – erring on the side of caution with a practical choice is often best so that it lasts as long as possible.

You’ll also want it to outlast changing trends. A carpet forms the foundation of your room, setting the tone for a colour scheme and any patterns used, so a versatile option will help you get more out of your purchase. From neutral greys to statement colours, playful patterns or hard-wearing jute, to deep, plush piles, there’s something to suit every person and every room.

THE BENEFITS OF CARPET 

The advantages of carpet over hard flooring range from extra comfort and sound absorption to adding colour and texture. Carpet also covers the largest surface in your home, but we often leave the decision to the last minute, fearing the commitment and the cost.
