Give your carpets some New Year TLC

In the meantime, here are a few things to think about when choosing carpet for your home:
- If you have a young family and pets then look for a hardwearing carpet in a forgiving colour, such as a textured loop pile or a quality hard-twist cut.
- If you’re a couple looking for a touch of luxury, you might opt for a plush pile in a flat colour.
- Cut piles include plush piles, which are super soft and look like velvet. If you want that squishy, luxurious feeling then dense, plush-pile carpets are lovely, but bear in mind they show footprints.
- Think about the look - Darker colours help make a room appear cosier. Lighter colours make a room appear larger. A popular option is to choose a carpet that combines two colours in a subtle, neutral blend. It’s more forgiving when it comes to stains.
- Carpet will appear lighter once installed and will fade over time, so choose one that is a shade or two deeper than you planned.
- Do some research or ask questions about the fibre, for example, wool is cool in summer and warm in winter.
- Think also the underlay as this will affect the comfort and ‘bounce’ when walking on your carpet.
