Choose Stylish Carpet Material for Different Rooms of Home

In choosing the best carpet for the home, it is important to take into consideration the different rooms in the house where it would be put. Shopping around for the best carpet, its use in the room is very relevant. Finding the best carpeting for a home starts out simple and rapidly becomes complicated. Unlike buying clothes or cars, there are so many different carpet styles look much the same, but their prices vary and for a reason. The fiber used in making the yarn is where the difference begins. How the fiber is made to a yarn is the second determining factor and the way it is then it tufted or sewn is the next major difference. Carpet is made with cut pile tufts, loop carpet, pile carpet or a combination of both. A cut pile carpet, depending on the kind of yarn, could look smooth or a bit textured or as if the surface is covered with very curly ends. Cut pile carpeting is very versatile and commonly used in living areas, bedrooms, dining rooms, dens and big rooms. The more twisted or textured the yarns, the less they would reveal vacuum cleaner marks and footprints. 


A loop carpet possesses a knobby look created by every tuft being brought back to the backing. Moreover, a loop pile carpet is generally more durable compared to cut pile styles. The loop carpet could be made up of level loops or multi-level loops for adding more texture or form a pattern. Cut and loop flooring features a combination of loops and cut pile yarns which are used in making patterned designs. Patterned flooring could help hide traffic patterns in the area as well as provide the floor a more interesting look. A family room for instance or recreation area could be the perfect place for this style, especially if the room receives a lot of traffic. 

Choosing the best carpet for the home depends on whose room it is.  A master suite or a guest bedroom will not likely have a lot of traffic or plenty of staining. Children's rooms call for a stain resistant nylon or stain resistant polyester. An adult bedroom is good for just about any fiber in a texture or plush style. Soft, new materials are good choices for a luxury underfoot feel. One's personal taste and lifestyle are key factors in selecting the best carpeting for living rooms. In a busy family with pets and children, the area will get the most wear. The best option is to have a stain treated or solution dyed product with some type of odor treatment. The furniture weight is another thing to keep in mind. Family areas in an active household demand carpeting that are soil and stain resistant and constructions that could withstand a lot of traffic. Loop piles and dense textures take care of the traffic. 

Polyester carpets with stain resistance, solution dyed nylon pieces are sensible choices for the dining area. Products which feature anti-microbial and other topical treatments are also good choices for spill protection. High traffic places and stairs could be covered in low, dense pile carpeting since it is the most resilient fiber. The bottom of a stairwell and the top landing is where people usually turn their feet and thus cause addition stress on the flooring. This is where an extremely densely packed, low profile item could truly add life to the life expectancy of the piece.

Good Patterned Loop Carpet | Best Value for Money

The quality of wool carpet is difficult to assess at a cursory glance. Sheep cannot be contractually bound to produce yarn of a known quality and many breeds produce yarn which is beautifully fine, but not good when trodden on. Poor quality pile is often betrayed by the appearance of little white fibers. If you see an excess of these, look at the next carpet. Cheap wool carpets are usually a bad buy. 



A good patterned loop carpet is always better value for money. Some cheap carpets have a percentage of reclaimed wool in their pile. In this case ‘reclaimed’ is really understatement for second-hand. It doesn't wear well in carpets. There is often a great disparity in the prices of twist pile carpets that apparently look the same. The differences between them determine to ‘blend’ of the yarn used in the construction of carpet.

Wool | The Most Authentic Material Used in the Construction of Carpet

Fibers are the most important components from which the strands are made. And there are a wide range of carpet fibers available which are most commonly used ones: nylon, acrylic, polyester, wool, polypropylene, cotton and silk. Each of them has advantages and disadvantages when you are selecting a best carpet where fiber is suitable for you.


Wool is the oldest fiber that people use to make carpets. It provides a luxurious feel and excellent appearance and it is warm, lightweight, soft and wrinkle resistant but it is not easily holds up well where stains are concerned.  This kind of wool loop carpet is not great choice very humid areas because it tends to easily hold moisture. When we compare it with synthetic fibers, wool carpet Items surely cost more. However, it is not very expensive as silk. Generally coarse wool is more durable than fine wool.
