Which carpet style is right for your home?

Every carpet style has its own appearance and performance benefits. Choosing the right one depends on how you use the room and the look you want to achieve.

• Frieze (twist): Frieze carpet features tightly twisted fibers that create a relaxed, casual appearance. The texture helps hide footprints, vacuum marks, and everyday wear, making it an excellent choice for active households.
• Loop (Berber): Loop, or Berber, carpet uses uncut loops that create a durable, textured surface. Berber carpet stands up well to heavy foot traffic and works especially well in hallways, family rooms, and home offices.
• Pattern: Pattern carpet combines cut and loop fibers to create eye-catching designs. Besides adding visual interest, patterned carpet also helps disguise dirt and traffic patterns, making it a practical option for busy homes.
• Texture: Texture carpet is one of today's most popular styles. Its gently twisted fibers create a soft, inviting appearance that complements nearly any decorating style, making it a versatile choice for many rooms.

How do you choose the right carpet color?

The color of your carpet influences the entire feel of a room. Choosing the right shade can make your space appear larger, brighter, or more inviting.

Light colors help open up smaller rooms and reflect more natural light. Medium tones remain a popular choice because they balance warmth while hiding everyday dust and dirt. Darker colors add richness and create a cozy atmosphere, especially in larger living areas.

Neutral colors continue to be timeless because they're easy to coordinate with changing furniture and décor. If you'd like a little more personality, multi-tone carpets and subtle patterns add depth without overpowering the room.

Our experienced team can help you compare samples and choose a color that complements both your home and your lifestyle.

How do you maintain carpet?

Keeping carpet looking its best doesn't require complicated maintenance. A few simple habits can help preserve its appearance for years.

To extend the life of your carpet:

• Vacuum regularly
• Clean spills as soon as they happen
