Buying a carpet involves a lot of decisions, relating to color, texture, style and cost. Before you part with your money, it’s a good idea to think about your priorities, and what you want your carpet to “do” primarily for you home.
However beautiful and elegant certain carpets are, they may not be particularly good at hiding vacuum cleaner marks or footprints…and if you’ve got kids and pets, this is something you’re really want to going to consider.
Different carpets have different yarns, which give them certain characteristics. If you’re looking for something that’s durable and functional, you might want to consider a Berber (Loop) style or perhaps a Cable carpet.
Berbers will last you for years, and are really good for family areas.
Cable carpeting has a chunky look because it’s made with a “fat” yarn and is another great choice for homes that see a lot of foot traffic.
There are so many carpets on the market today, so be sure to do your research, and think hard about what works for you.
