With so many carpet options available in different fiber types, colors, styles, and designs, choosing the right one for your home can be overwhelming. Here are some tips to guide you: Style If your project is aiming for a particular style—whether it’s Hamptons, coastal, industrial, modern, or something else—you’ll want to select a carpet that complements that design. Modern carpets offer a variety of cuts and even multi-colored options with speckled effects, giving you plenty of styles to choose from. Working with an Interior Designer can also help ensure that the carpet you choose aligns perfectly with your design vision. Comfort Comfort is a key factor when selecting carpet for your home or renovation. While carpets are generally softer than other flooring types, it’s important not to base your choice solely on softness. The plushness and comfort of a carpet depend on the fibers used and their thickness. For maximum comfort, consider wool or super-soft nylon carpets. Additionally, a quality underlay is crucial for enhancing the overall comfort of your space. Our wool and nylon carpets come in various styles, allowing you to pick one that blends seamlessly with your home’s decor. Fiber and Material Carpets are made from a variety of materials, including natural fibers like wool and synthetics such as polyester, polypropylene, and nylon. Each material has its own characteristics in terms of durability, comfort, and cost. For example, wool and nylon carpets are known for their softness and durability, offering long-lasting comfort. Polypropylene carpets, while more affordable, are less durable and considered an entry-level option. At Livin Floorings, we offer carpets made from all these materials, catering to different levels of comfort, durability, and budget. Backing & Construction The backing of your carpet, which is the material on its underside, is an important aspect to consider. Quality backing secures the carpet tufts and adds strength and stability. Common backing materials include jute, polyester, or rubber, each contributing to the overall durability and longevity of your carpet. Cost We offer a wide range of carpets to fit various budgets. When choosing a carpet, it’s important to consider how long you’ll be staying in your home and how long you want the carpet to last. Investing in a higher-quality carpet now might reduce the need for replacement in the future. Residential carpet warranties can vary from as short as three years to as long as 20 years, which is an important consideration, especially for long-term homes.
