How to find the right carpet for your home
Carpet comes in so many styles, colors, and designs that there's something for everyone.
As a carpet flooring retailer, we've seen it time and again: People get distracted by the pretty appearance, so they go by their wants, not necessarily their needs.
Our experts offer some tips on what you should know, even before you walk into the store.

Convey as much information as possible about your lifestyle
They might all look pretty, but different rugs perform differently in various installations.
Be sure to tell your pro if you have extra durability, stain resistance, or other needs: pets, spill-prone residents or seniors with mobility devices such as wheelchairs and walkers.
Make sure you tell them where you plan to install it. Every room has different priorities and challenges; for instance, a high pile rug with long, loose fibers might be great for the bedroom where the priority is to step on something plush. It’s not a good choice for the stairway, however, where the rug has to wrap securely around railings and provide a solid foundation for the foot.
If you can, take samples home so you can examine them in your own space’s lighting and coloring.

Know a few basic carpet terms
The basic fibers are wool, nylon, polyester, olefin, and Triexta. Understand the pros and cons of each. Density, not weight, determines quality; that means how closely the fibers are tufted together. High piles have long, loose fibers like the shag or frieze. A low pile rug is any cut and loop or the Berber style (which often uses the olefin fiber.)
