If you’ve decided to install new carpet in your home, you’re making a great move. Carpet has come a long way from its early days, and today’s carpet options are more beautiful than ever. Whether you’re adding a soft carpet flooring to your family game room or just changing out the old carpet in your home, there are plenty of options to choose from.

 

We’ve compiled a few of the choices you’ll need to consider when choosing your carpet. When you’re ready, the carpet installation pros at Brenner Floors are here to help you make the best decision.

 

1.      Understand the Types of Carpet Fiber.

There are quite a few fibers to choose from when deciding which carpet you’ll want to go with. The decision you make should take into consideration the purpose of the carpet and how much traffic it will be getting. Wool is a natural fiber, and it’s incredibly strong and durable. But it’s not great with stains, so if you’ve got little ones around, wool might not be the best choice.

 

Polyester, on the other hand, is very stain-resistant. It’s also extremely plush and comfortable. However, because it is a plastic fiber, it may not be the best solution for a high-traffic area. Triexta is another great option but works better in high-traffic zones. The most popular carpet for busy homes is nylon due to its durability and stain-resistance.

 

2.      Determine Where it Will be Used.

Where you plan to use your carpet should help you choose the type of fiber that will work best for you. Carpet in bedrooms should be plush but probably won’t need to be very resistant to stains. However, living room and dining area carpet needs to be able to withstand heavy traffic as well as the occasional spill.

 

Don’t get stuck in the trap of thinking you have to use the same carpet in every room of your home. You may find a polyester carpet works best in your bedrooms, while you prefer wool on the stairway and in the hallways.

 

3.      Consider Your Home’s Decor.

The style of your home’s decor should be taken into consideration when you’re choosing your carpet. It’s important to consider how a carpet’s color will work with the colors of your walls and decor.

 

It’s a good idea to grab some paint swatches so you can be absolutely certain you’re matching your carpet to your home’s style. Even neutrals can have undertones that clash if they’re not carefully selected.
