Rugs of high-quality can add a lot of style and elegance to any room in the home. Flooring is the foundation of the total decor, so selecting top name carpet from hundreds of options is a great way to start. Textures include plush, shag, and frieze, among others, and materials include wool, sisal, and seagrass. Paying full retail pricing for carpeting could be expensive, especially if carpeting more than one room at once. Rugs are available at discounted prices at larger retailers and carpet warehouses. Customers can go to for details, examples of flooring types, and current specials and sales.
Selecting the right type of carpeting for each room depends on a few factors. If the space is a high traffic area, like a hallway, for example, a denser fiber may be easier to keep clean and maintain. It will also last longer than a plush carpet in that particular area. A plush or shag carpet is perfect for a living room, a master bedroom, or a guest room. The luxury of the fibers adds comfort and is even suitable for sitting on while watching a movie or having family game night. It requires a bit more care but is still easy enough to maintain. Rearranging furniture every few months, for example, will protect the carpet from permanent indentations, and provide even wear. Adding area rugs under furniture will also protect the carpeting.
The most important element to any carpet is a proper installation. Customers can spend a small fortune on a rug, and have it ruined in a short period of time if it was not professionally installed. The foam matting underneath has to be the right thickness, or the carpet will flatten or sag. If the carpet is not nailed down at the correct intervals, it will bunch up, crease, or come up from the floor boards at the corners. When considering new carpets, factor in the cost of professional installation into the total budget. Some places will offer significant savings on installation for carpet purchased from their stock. Others will offer free installation periodically to promote certain sales or specific brands. You can also follow them on Twitter.
