How to choose the perfect carpet for your bedroom

May 15, 2023

Carpeting your bedroom is a great way to add some extra comfort and style to the room. But with so many options on the market, it can be difficult to know which type of carpet is right for you; that’s why we want to outline the key factors you need to consider when choosing bedroom carpet. So whether you’re looking for a soft and cosy option or something that will make a bold statement, we’ve got you covered!

Texture is important

Carpet can play an important role in creating a certain mood or atmosphere in your bedroom. The colour and pattern of your carpet can set the tone for the room, and the texture can add another layer of interest. Carpets with a deep pile will feel luxurious and inviting, while a low-pile carpet may be more practical and easier to maintain.

Carpet tiles are also a popular option for bedrooms, as they offer greater flexibility in terms of design. You can create interesting patterns and colours with carpet tiles, and they can also be easily replaced if they become damaged. Whatever type of carpet you choose, make sure it is soft and comfortable underfoot, as you want your bedroom to be a relaxing oasis.

Choose complementary colours

Carpets are an important part of any bedroom. Not only does it contribute to the overall aesthetic, but it also provides warmth and comfort. When choosing a carpet, it is important to consider the complementary colours. For example, if your walls are painted a light green, you might want to consider a darker green carpet. The two colours will work together to create a cohesive look.

However, if your walls are painted a bright pink, you might want to choose a more neutral colour for your carpet, such as beige or cream. By taking the time to choose complementary colours, you can create a stylish and inviting bedroom that is sure to impress.

Get the fibre right

Carpets are often seen as an essential part of any bedroom, and for good reason. Not only do they add warmth and comfort, but they also help to reduce noise levels and protect flooring from damage. However, not all carpets are created equal.

When choosing a carpet for your bedroom, it is important to consider the type of fibre used. Natural fibres such as wool and cotton are durable and breathable, making them ideal for bedrooms. Synthetic fibres such as polyester and nylon are also strong and stain-resistant, making them a good choice for busy households. Once you have selected the right fibre for your needs, you can be sure that your carpet will last for years to come.

Consider pile types

Carpeting offers different textures, which is why you should consider the type of feel you are going for in your bedroom. For example, if you want a luxurious feel, then you might want to choose a shaggy pile carpet. If you are looking for something more low-maintenance, then a looped pile might be a better option. When it comes to choosing carpet for your bedroom, it is important to consider both the look and the feel that you are going for.

Choose the perfect carpet for the perfect bedroom

The texture, colour, fibre, and pile type all play a role in creating the overall look and feel of the room. By taking these factors into consideration, you can choose a carpet that not only complements your bedroom’s aesthetic but also adds comfort and durability. With the right choice, your bedroom will be a cosy and stylish oasis for years to come. Thank you for considering these factors when choosing your bedroom carpet.

What is the difference between cheap and expensive laminate?

You get what you pay for with laminate flooring, with cheaper ranges using core material and joints that will swell more aggressively if exposed to water during cleaning or from spills. The repeat pattern is also a good indication of quality, ie. our best range has a pattern repeat of 10sqm, where most ranges are 3sqm. This ensures your floor looks authentic.

Can vinyl planks be used in wet areas?

Yes they can.

Do I need to move my furniture?

This can be discussed at the time of measuring. We can assist with moving large furniture items, but will still require you to empty shelves, move smaller items and unmake beds etc.

What does the ‘weight’ of the carpet mean?

Carpet quality is measured in weight, or ‘oz’. Essentially, the heavier a carpet is, means the longer it will last you and the nicer it will feel underfoot. As well as quality increasing as weight increases, price also goes up.

Is Nylon, wool or polyester carpet best?

Each have their own strengths and weaknesses and we are happy to discuss this further with you, however Solution Dyed Nylon tends to be what we sell the most of.

What is the guarantee on the installation?

We provide a lifetime guarantee on the installation.

What is the process of getting new flooring?

If you have an idea of what you want, the next step is to book in for a measure. You will receive a written quote within 24 hours. Once you accept the quote, we will work with you to find a suitable installation date and will request a 50% deposit. Your flooring will then be ordered. Installation timing varies depending on your needs, layer and product availability. Install usually takes 1-2 days depending on the size of your property. The final payment is due on job completion.

Can I shop ‘online?’

Carpet and flooring is a big investment and it can look a lot different in real life to the photos you see online. You can do your research and book your appointment online and then sit back and let our experts come to your home for you to view samples.

Can laminate be used in wet areas?

Some of our laminate ranges can be used in wet areas such as bathrooms and laundries as they have joint sealing technology that will resist water for a long period of time.

How do I best clean my vinyl planks or laminate floor?

Laminate and vinyl floors are very easy to maintain and should only require vacuuming and mopping. However, you should never use a steam mop on either vinyl planks or laminate. Rubber backed items such as mats or bar stool feet should not be used on vinyl floors as these can cause discolouration.

What is tracking and shading?

Plush carpets will show slight depressions left behind from footprints. This is normal and will come out with your next vacuum. All solution dyed nylon carpets do this to some extent, but some more than others, so let us know if this is something you don’t like and we will point you towards the ranges that do it the least.

How long will new carpet last me?

Depending on the weight of your new carpet, and how it is looked after, most manufacturers say carpet should last for ten years.

Will I need my doors trimmed?

Sometimes you do need to trim the doors. We have a handyman who charges a very reasonable price, we recommend using him if your doors need to be trimmed.

What sort of carpet or flooring is suitable for me?
