Carpet

Carpet is one of the most popular choice of flooring inside a house. Matching the right carpet to a room can create a more visually appealing atmosphere and you can actually ‘feel’ it as you walk on it bare-feet (sometimes even with your shoes on!).

There are generally 4 aspects you need to consider when choosing the right carpet for a room depending on its purpose, these aspects are: (1) Style, (2) Type, (3) Underlay and (4) Ratings. Each aspect affects how the carpet will look and feel as well as how long it can last before you need to replace it. This means you will most likely not achieve the best flooring result in your house if you simply purchase a carpet based on its price, availability or popularity.

You are a unique individual and so should your choice in carpet. Since there are many combination based on the 4 carpet aspects, the good news is that you can in fact choose a carpet with the right combination of aspects that fully reflects the purpose of your room/s or house. This is of course after you understand how each aspect changes the characteristics of a carpet.
