Today’s carpet offers a wide variety of choices in style, fiber composition and colour. Gone are the days of having to select only conventional loop pile, a carpet style consisting of yarn in uncut loops. New technology can produce multilevel loop and cut-loop patterns allowing diamond, bow, pin dot or fleur-de-lis designs that ‘pop out’ in sculptured effects.
The texture, colours and pattern of the carpet can complement or contrast with patterns of your furniture and window treatments.
Using a solid colour, textured carpet is a great way to provide interest and pizzazz, without going to a multicolour, overall pattern.
Textured styles also fit well with today’s active and casual lifestyles.
To select the best carpet for your home and lifestyle, you should consider:
Carpet and Rug Construction
Color
Quality and Performance Requirements
Selecting the Right Cushion
Insulation
Green Label Carpet for Indoor Air Quality
Special Considerations (Seniors, Pets)
Aside the above tips, consider the following:
Define your space
Open floor plans can create the illusion that your furniture is "floating." A carefully placed rug will anchor your space and define the area. Choose a rug that complements your décor in a size that works for your furniture, and the room's traffic pattern.
Create a cohesive look between rooms with rugs that complement (rather than match exactly) the furnishings in a space.
Dine in style
The soft texture of a rug stylishly complements the lines of a dining table, creating an inviting atmosphere for laid-back meals and lively conversation.
Place a colorful rug beneath your dining furniture to create a dramatic space for entertaining. In general, you want to choose a rug that's large enough so guests can push back their chairs without sliding off.
Create a cozier bedroom
A wool rug adds instant texture and warmth to any bedroom, letting you slumber in comfort and style.
Create a perimeter around the lower two-thirds of your bed with a solid-colored rug. Or place small runners along each side.
Choose rugs with a deep, plush pile for an irresistibly soft landing.
