Upgrade your home with new carpet

Which carpet style is best for your home?

The construction of a carpet affects its appearance, feel, and durability. Choosing the right style depends on your room and lifestyle.

• Loop and Berber carpet: Loop carpet, including Berber styles, features uncut loops that create a textured appearance. It resists wear, hides footprints, and performs well in busy spaces like hallways, family rooms, and home offices.
• Pattern carpet: Pattern carpet combines cut and loop fibers to create decorative designs. Besides adding visual interest, patterned carpet helps disguise dirt and everyday wear, making it a smart choice for active households.
• Texture carpet: Texture carpet features twisted fibers that create a soft, casual appearance. It minimizes footprints and vacuum marks, making it one of the most popular options for bedrooms, living rooms, and family rooms.

What carpet material should you choose?

The fiber you choose affects durability, softness, stain resistance, and cost.

• Nylon carpet is known for exceptional durability. It resists crushing and performs well in high-traffic areas like hallways, stairs, and family rooms.
• Polyester carpet offers outstanding softness, rich color, and natural stain resistance. It's a popular choice for bedrooms and living spaces.
• Polypropylene (Olefin) carpet resists moisture, fading, and many stains. It's commonly used in Berber carpet and works well in lower-traffic rooms and basements.

We'll help you compare fiber options based on your home's traffic levels, pets, children, and

budget.

How do you choose the right carpet color?

Carpet color influences the entire feel of a room.

Light colors make smaller spaces feel larger and brighter, but may show dirt more easily.

Medium shades such as gray, beige, and taupe balance style with practicality by hiding everyday wear. Dark colors add warmth and depth while helping conceal stains in busy rooms.

When choosing a color, consider your walls, furniture, lighting, and long-term decorating plans.

Neutral tones remain the most versatile, while patterned carpets and multi-tone colors help disguise traffic and add character.

Viewing samples in your home is the best way to see how color changes under natural and artificial lighting.

How do you clean and maintain carpet?

Routine maintenance helps carpet stay attractive for years.

Vacuum high-traffic areas several times a week and other rooms weekly to remove dirt before it settles into the fibers. Clean spills immediately by blotting instead of rubbing to prevent stains from spreading.

Entry mats reduce tracked-in dirt and moisture, while furniture pads help prevent indentations. Rearranging furniture occasionally also promotes even wear.

Professional carpet cleaning every 12 to 18 months removes deep dirt, refreshes the fibers, and may help maintain your manufacturer's warranty.
