Need Help Choosing Carpet?
Before you shop, here are some important factors you’ll want to take into consideration.
Fiber
This is a good place to start, as the different qualities of carpet fiber options will likely be the major factor in determining which carpet is right for your space. There are five main carpet fibers: nylon (the most common fiber), polyester, polypropolene, triexta, and wool. The below chart is a good outline of the different fibers and what they offer.
Construction
This is what determines the texture of your carpet. There are four main carpet constructions to consider:
Cut Pile
This is when the loops are all cut, also known as “plush.” Cut pile carpet tends to be softer and denser than loop pile carpet.
Loop Pile
None of the loops are cut and are all the same height. This is also known as berber carpet.
Patterned Loop Pile
The loops are at different heights, to give a more patterned texture.
Cut and Loop
This is a combination of cut and loop yarns, which can create a large variety of textures including fun patterns and sculptured effects.
Color
Carpet comes in pretty much every color under the sun, and of course the color you choose is entirely up to your personal preference. However there are some general guidelines that can help make sure you choose the right color for your space:
Lighter colors can make a room seem more spacious
Darker colors can give a room a more cozy and intimate atmosphere.
Consider cool blues or greens for a soothing, calming effect.
Use warmer tones to turn up the heat in a room that lacks natural light.
