HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT CARPET FOR YOUR SPACE

There are many incredible benefits that come with installing carpet in your home, particularly the incredible opportunity to customise your choices. With an abundance of colours, patterns, and materials available, the choice can quickly get overwhelming. Here are some things to consider when you visit our carpet store to make your selection:


  • Make a Budget: Knowing what you can spend ahead of time can make the shopping process much more simple. Our experienced team can help you find a carpet that meets your needs, preferences, and budget.
  • Select Your Padding: Don't be tempted to save money by lowering your standards on carpet padding. This is the layer that provides extra support and helps reduce wear and tear on your carpet over time. Our staff can help you identify the padding that meets your needs and matches your carpet selection.
  • Know Your Carpet Styles: Carpet comes in many styles based on its pile, which is the surface you see. While appearance is important, you'll want to match the pile you choose with your lifestyle and the amount of foot traffic in the room. For example, a more plush carpet style looks and feels inviting but is more likely to show footprints and vacuum tracks, so it might be better suited for a lower-traffic area such as a formal sitting room or master bedroom. Other types of carpeting are more suitable for higher-traffic rooms.
  • Compare Colours & Designs: With so many colours and patterns available, selecting the right one might be the most difficult part of the process. Choose shades that match the overall tone or mood you want to set for each room. Greens, grays, or cool blues can create a peaceful setting, while browns, reds, and golden shades tend to make a space feel more cosy. Light colours can make a small space feel larger and more open, while darker colors can hide stains more effectively. Carefully consider your needs before making your choice.
  • Understand Maintenance Requirements: One of the best ways to ensure your long-term satisfaction is to choose carpet that you can easily maintain. If you have young children or furry pets, you might want to select stain-resistant carpet. Textured options can conceal footprints and other signs of traffic.

THE ADVANTAGES OF CHOOSING CARPET FOR YOUR HOME

With so many types of flooring to choose from, selecting the option that works best for your home can be an overwhelming process. Thankfully, our knowledgeable team is on hand to assist you. We have an incredible selection of carpet options that will look fantastic in your space. There are many benefits to using carpet in your home, including:


  • Air Quality: Carpet traps dust, pollen, pet dander, and other particles, removing them from the breathing zone and helping improve your home's air quality.
  • Style: Depending on the look you have in mind, carpet can serve many purposes. It can be a neutral foundation or a bright focal point. With thousands of colors and styles to choose from, your design possibilities are endless!
  • Comfort: We are all familiar with the cold weather that the Ipswitch area can experience. Carpet retains warm air longer than other types of flooring, helping to conserve energy and providing a warm, comforting environment throughout the year.
  • Safety: Carpet provides a safe cushion for the whole family, particularly toddlers, pets, and older individuals. It provides a soft surface in case of a slip or fall, minimizing injuries.
  • Noise Reduction: The prevalence of technology in our homes can make certain spaces louder than we would like. Carpet absorbs sounds and the noises of foot traffic, working as a sound barrier between floors and across the house.
