2. What are the benefits of owning a carpet?
●
●
Cozyness and finished look to your house;
Soft on feet and safer in case of falling (esp. if babies in
the house);
●
Warmth;
●
Blocks noise;

3. Types of Carpets
●
Loop Carpets – classic and durable, these carpets are
perfect for busy areas and parts of your home with high
traffic.

4. Types of Carpets
●
Cut Loop Carpets – Slightly less durable, but even more
attractive cut loop carpets are preferred for their
appealing look. They are perfect for low-traffic areas such
as underneath a coffee table, or the bedroom.

5. Carpet Types
●
Carpet Tiles - A flooring tile made from a stiff-backed
carpet material. Replacing worn, stained, or damaged
carpet tiles is much easier than replacing an entire
carpet, making them ideal for use in extremely high
trafffic areas such as building lobbies and airport
concourses.

6. Carpet Types
●
Oriental Rugs - An authentic oriental rug is a handmade
carpet that is either knotted with pile or woven without
pile. It requires extra care and careful cleaning.

7. Think ahead
Once you get the carpet of your dreams and place it in your
living room, keep in mind that this carpet will require
maintenance and occasional washing and thorough cleaning.
For this reason, keep in mind a few things before buying just
any carpet, simply because you like how it looks.
Is this the right carpet for the area?
Different carpets are designed for different areas. Some
carpets are more appropriate for low-traffic areas, while others
are more durable and stain-resistant and will be perfect for
high-traffic areas. However, if you mix them up and don't place
them according to their purpose maintenance will be awkward.

8. Think Ahead
Is this carpet washable?
I've always dreamt for a black and white interior design,
but when I was convinced how hard maintaining all the
white will be (and the black too), I decided against it.
Think about this carpet and see whether it allows
washing and can handle certain cleaning and washing
detergents. If not, you will soon find out how hard it might
be to have to wash it by yourself. Hiring a cleaning
company in your area might get you out of the trouble,
but even though cleaning services are cheaper now than
ever, it is still a question of whether you will be able to
afford the maintenance your carpet might need. Read the
labels!
