Every few years, you are going to need to go through the process of buying new carpet for at least one of your rooms. The decision can be a tough one, as it is not only the colour and pattern that you need to decide on! So, we have produced this short guide about how to go about choosing the next carpet you buy…
Perhaps the biggest consideration to bear in mind is what room the carpet is going to go in to. Firstly, you are going to want to coordinate the colour of the carpet with the rest of the furnishings in a specific room. More importantly though, you need to think about how the carpet will be used. If it is placed in an area people walk through when they come in from outside, longer fibres might not be good, as they hold more dirt. Also, if the carpets are walked on very regularly, you might consider a harder wearing carpet, so that it doesn’t wear quickly.
It is also a very good idea to think about underlay when buying a new carpet as well, as the existing underlay might have become worn over time. It has been shown that by installing new underlay at the same time as new carpet, the life of the carpet can be increased by up to 40%, which is a considerable amount of time. Underlay can also be very cheap, so it is well worth the investment.
When you have chosen the new carpet for your home, you need to make sure it stays clean and looked after, as well as make sure any stains or marks are removed as soon as possible.
