The Four Factors to Consider when Choosing Carpet for Your Home

With so many different colors, materials and designs available, choosing the right carpeting for your home can be a difficult task. When deciding which type of carpet to install, there are four main factors you need to consider: lifestyle, budget, maintenance and style.
Consider lifestyle
The type of carpeting you choose for your home depends greatly on your lifestyle and how often the room in question will be used. For homeowners without kids or pets, high-end carpeting such as wool is a great long-lasting option. If you are looking for a more family-friendly carpet that can withstand spills and stains, polyester carpeting or carpeting made with Bulk Continuous Filament (BCF) fibers is the way to go.
Consider budget
Don’t blow your budget—good carpeting doesn’t have to cost you a fortune! As with any large purchase, it is important to compare and price-out your options. Ask your sales associate for separate pricing for materials and installation so you can compare costs between flooring brands and determine which brand provides you with the best deal for your needs.
Consider maintenance
Maintenance is a major factor to consider and plays largely into your budget. One of the best ways to ensure you are satisfied with your new carpeting is to pick one that fits your lifestyle AND is easy to maintain. Homeowners with children or pets should avoid costly carpeting that requires lots of upkeep, like hard-to-clean shag carpeting or high-end rugs.
Consider style
While it is important to consider functionality, you ultimately want to choose carpeting that looks great in your home! To narrow down your search, choose shades that match the overall mood and tone you want to set for the room. Once you have chosen a color palette you like, you can then begin to think about what color carpeting would look best in the space. Cool blues and greens are great colors for a calm, peaceful setting, and reds or golden shades can be used to make a large space feel more intimate.
