If you really want to know where to find fifty shades of grey its in a carpet showroom! Choosing the right shade and fibre of your carpet can be quite a daunting task, why not follow our guide we will keep you in the loop! The room you are looking to carpet should narrow down your options, for example in a room with a high traffic area e.g. stairs or a hallway a carpet with a dense, low pile tuft will perform better than a soft deeper pile carpet like a saxony, as these are more likely to flatten, the higher the weight and density of the carpet the longer it will stay looking its best. You can take up the option of a softer more luxurious pile in a bedroom as there is usually minimum foot flow and often you will either be barefoot or wearing only slippers. We would always advise you take home a sample of the carpet you are looking to buy so you can see the true colour against your own furniture and décor, it is advisable to keep samples overnight so you can see the colour in both daylight and at night.
Wool or Man Made……. What’s the difference ?
Wool is generally used in higher quality carpets you usually pay a bit more for a natural fibre but it is highly durable and retains its appearance remarkably well whilst being perfect for reducing noise and heat loss. Man Made Fibres are often available in a much wider colour spectrum that cant be produced in wool, they often have built in stain resistance and many can be cleaned using a bleach cleaning solution. They are a good all rounder for families due to their durability.
