How to choose the right carpet for your home

by | Oct 9, 2013 | Home Improvement

When it comes to choosing a carpet there are so many different options to consider that it can become quite a difficult decision. There are so many variables that before you know it you are confused on a whole host of issues ranging from material to colour to style. What is most important when choosing a carpet is how the new carpet will compliment your current home. With this in mind it is essential that we look at a few factors before making our final decision.

Colour scheme

OK, this is the most important factor that we must consider when we are choosing a new carpet. Will the carpet blend in with the current feel and mood of the room? We all enjoy different colours to varying degrees and of course we all have our preferred colours and shades. Each room may be different and we must choose a carpet that is going to compliment the current colour scheme and enhance the character of the room. Similar colours work best together so try not to choose a carpet that is coloured excessively differently to that of the other décor in the room.

Design

This is slightly more difficult to determine as the design and look of the carpet is not as easy distinguishable as the colour. Many people take on board the advice of specialist companies dealing with Birkenhead carpets in relation to the design aspects. We should consider wallpaper, furniture and lighting when considering what style or design of carpet we should choose. It is imperative that we choose a design that flows with the rest of the room and doesn’t dramatically alter the look of the room.

Practicality

Sometimes overlooked by homeowners, the practicality of the carpet is something that is just as important an aspect, if not as exciting, that should be considered prior to purchasing a new carpet. We should consider exactly what the room will be used for and choose a carpet that will offer longevity and practicality. Luxurious, light coloured carpets should not be used in a kitchen where the potential for spillages and stains are more likely. Experts from one of the companies selling carpets in Birkenhead will be able to advise you regarding practical issues surrounding your new carpet. Visit Boganscarpets.com for more information.
