Carpet is a great way to add style, beauty, and comfort to any space in your home. With so many colors, textures, and options available, it can sometimes feel impossible to choose the right carpet. You want to ensure you don’t pick something that will fade, stain, or deteriorate after use. Here are some tips for choosing the right carpet for your home.
- Stick to your budget – The first tip for choosing a carpet is to stick to your budget. Before you go shopping and look at samples, know how much you want to spend and try to look at materials that are within your budget. This will weed out anything too expensive and narrow your options.
- Know maintenance requirements – The type of material and carpet style you pick can impact how much maintenance is required. You should know how much care you are willing to put into your new carpet before buying. Do you mind vacuuming occasionally? Are you ready to pay for annual professional cleaning?
- Compare colors and patterns – Carpet samples are great for helping you choose. Bring home as many samples as possible to compare the different colors and patterns in your space. Make sure to look at the samples at different times of the day, as the lighting can impact their appearance.
- Don’t forget the padding – Adding padding to your carpeting will help it be more comfortable and prevent wear and tear. Typically, padding is made from rubber or foam material, and it is used to add insulation, absorb sound, and help maintain your carpet.
