Q&A... We are asked

What kind of carpet goes in each room...

 

There is no "one" right carpet style for any room. It's all about how you live. The only right answer is to find a carpet style that reflects the way you live. Here are a few suggestions:

If you like a "FORMAL" look for your home - the suggestions are the same as for a tuxedo or evening gown.

  • Tailored
  • Traditional
  • Solid Color
  • Maybe an accent color or a border
  • Look for a pin-point tip definition on the face fiber
  • Look for "accent" marks as found in velvets or velours

If you like a more "TRADITIONAL" look - the suggestions are the same as a sportcoat or "dressy" look:

  • Tight dense appearance - minimized vacuum marks
  • Solid or tone on tone colorations
  • Neutral colorations - although use of more color is gaining popularity.

If you seek a "CONTEMPORARY" look for your home - the suggestions are the same as designer day wear

  • Berber styles with tight loops
  • Loop styles in a "corn row" design
  • Mid-level shag colors - goes great with leather furniture

If you want a "CASUAL" look in carpet - Easy to care for - wrinkle free

  • Twists / Freize in every color from neutral to vivid - hides everything
  • Twist / Freize the tighter the twist the more care free - solids look more contemporary.
  • Shag - the more the better. Looses pretzel crumbs, cereal, everything. If the shags too long, hard to vacuum.

And remember, even with a high performance carpet, if you choose a luxurious style for a high usage area you should be prepared to give it a little extra care.
