When you shop for carpet you'll find a wealth of color’s, textures and styles - in fact, sometimes it may seem a bit irresistible. That's why we recommend you think of carpet as a fashion investment. After all, you're not simply covering your floors - you're revealing the beauty of your home, and bringing your own personal decorating style to life.
Jaipur Rugs Tips:
What to come across for in a Carpet
While color and price are crucial factors when shopping for carpet, the right color at the lowest price does not necessarily signify the best value.
Performance value, the way the carpet actually performs when it is on your floor, should be your primary consideration. It's not easy to predict how well a carpet will perform in your home. The better the fiber and the denser that it's packed, the better the carpet will perform. Low quality carpet is easy to spot - it's thin and lightweight. A better indication of a product's performance value can be found in the manufacturer's warranty. Practically any carpet looks good when it's first installed, but the longer it stays looking good, the greater its real value.
How to Pick your Carpet
As your plans develop, you'll collect fabric swatches, paint chips, photo examples from design magazines, and other helpful tools. Be sure to bring these with you when you shop - and always bring a sketch of your room's floor plan.
Beware of bargain.
Most retailers offer legitimate sales at various times. However, beware of unbelievable and unreasonable bargains and advertising claims. Cheap carpet that wears out quickly can prove to be more costly in the long run. Remember, you get what you pay for.
Consider the cost per year.
With any long term investment the true cost of the carpet must reflect its length of satisfactory service. Don't economize on high-traffic, heavy-wear floors in your home like halls and family rooms, buy the best quality you can afford because if you have to replace the carpet it will cost you more in the long run not only for the cost of the replacement carpet, but the cost and inconvenience of another installation. Different rooms have different requirements.
Halls and Stairs:
These high traffic areas require densely tufted carpet with low pile height. A carpet that will resist matting and crushing is ideal for this area. Consider medium color’s with a texture or soil-hiding pattern.
Living Room:
Generally a more formal setting, elegant Saxony plush or textured plush works well in this area. Depending on how often you use the room you can purchase any high-performance carpet. Clean-ability and stain resistance are important if this area is used frequently.
Dining Room:
Stain conflict and clean-ability are imperative factors wherever food and drink are common. Select a carpet with soil-hiding features and easy maintenance.
Family Room:
Dense carpeting with soil and stain resistance are ideal for multipurpose rooms. Consider patterns, multicolored tweeds and berbers
Bedrooms:
Generally low-traffic areas, durability may not be critical. Your imagination can run free - look for delicate colors and comfort.
Kids' Rooms:
Look for a durable, easy to clean carpet with good soil hiding capabilities
Kitchen:
Carpeted kitchens prevent slipping and reduce foot fatigue, as well as breakage. In this high traffic area, look for a small pattern to minimize stains, in addition to a carpet that is easy to clean.
