Choosing the right carpet for your home is more than just a decision about aesthetics; it’s about balancing comfort, durability, and style. With numerous options available, selecting the perfect carpet can seem daunting.
Here’s how to find the best home carpets that will stand the test of time, while offering maximum comfort underfoot.
Weaves and Piles
Carpets come in a variety of weaves and piles, each offering different benefits.
A loop pile carpet, for example, is highly durable, making it ideal for high-traffic areas such as hallways and living rooms.
Cut-pile carpets provide a softer, more luxurious feel underfoot, creating a cushioning effect. The longer the pile, the greater the cushioning effect. This makes them the luxuriously perfect choice for bedrooms where comfort is paramount—and a spot of glamour, of course!
Choose a pile or a weave that suits your lifestyle.
Indoor vs. Outdoor Carpets
Where do you want that underfoot decor or comfort? Indoors or outdoors or both?
Indoor carpets are designed with comfort in mind, often featuring softer fibres and intricate designs. Outdoor carpets are made more robust to withstand the elements, boasting materials that are:
- Waterproof
- Mould-proof
- Easy to clean
- Resistant to stains
- Resistant to friction from grit
- UV proof (some have higher UV ratings than others)
While outdoor carpets may not offer the plushness of indoor varieties, they provide excellent durability, making them suitable for patios and porches. Some outdoor carpets are beautiful enough to be used indoors.
Colours and Patterns
Colours and patterns affect how you perceive an interior’s design but also offer practical benefits. Solid colours can make a space feel calm and unified, while variegated or patterned carpets can add depth and hide stains effectively.
If you’re aiming for a minimalist look, opt for neutral tones that blend seamlessly with your décor. For a more vibrant atmosphere, bold patterns and colours can make a statement, drawing attention and creating a focal point in the room.
When picking home carpets, remember that lighter colours can make a space appear larger, while darker tones offer a cosy, intimate feel.
