Select the style of carpet you prefer from our large selection ranging from textured, plush, Saxony, Berber, and more. The styles of carpet refer to the carpet’s pile and whether the carpet’s fiber, or tufts of carpet yarn, are folded over in loops, cut straight across, or a combination of both.​

The quality of a carpet has a lot to do with how tightly the tufts of carpet yarn are twisted. The tighter the better to withstand crushing, especially with pile carpet styles which can easily become untwisted.

​

Consider the purpose of the carpet and how it will fit in the scheme of your home. Do you want a thick, soft, luxurious carpet under your feet? Plush carpeting is comfortable and inviting after a long day. Saxony is similar to plush. Plush carpeting is ideal for bedrooms and your formal living room.​

Berber is a very durable type of carpeting. It is stain-resistant and does not show footprints. Berber is ideal for areas of your home that get a lot of traffic.​

Frieze carpet is a compromise between plush and Berber. It hides footprints and dirt, yet is soft to walk on. Frieze has the tightest carpet yarn twists at a level of 7 to 9 twists per inch.​

Carpet density is also a consideration. The closer the fibers, the better the carpet will withstand wear and tear.If you have stairs in your home, keep in mind the carpet you select will need to endure a lot of wear and tear from frequent foot traffic. A cut-pile carpet is the best choice for stairs to avoid snags or gaps. A woven wool carpet is a popular option because of its durability.​

One of the most enjoyable aspects of selecting your carpet is choosing the ideal color. Decide the mood and tone of each room in your home as you look at our wide selection of carpets.​ Blues and greens create calm sensations. Golden or warm red tones make a room feel comfy and cozy. Light colors open up a room, so cream-colored carpets can give your room a spacious feeling.​

One more consideration is whether you want your carpet to be the focal point of the room. Choose neutral colors if you want the carpet to remain a background accent, or search for striking and vibrant colors to give your carpet the starring role.​ Your carpet is one of the most important elements in the room. Carpeting ties all the parts of the room and its décor together. Feel free to bring fabric samples and color swatches into our store to find the perfect carpet for your home.
