A Carpet will not only add beauty, luxury, and value to your space but will act as an excellent insulation to the room.

Buying a carpet however is not an everyday occurrence, and for most people, it is a once-in-a-blue-moon type of purchase. Right from choosing the material to size or color there is a humongous variety to choose from. A good carpet may be an investment for many years to come and so here is the toolkit to choose the one that suits you the best.
The material or pile of a carpet usually refers to the fiber that is woven or tufted together to make up a carpet. This could be made from diverse materials ranging from wool and nylon to polypropylene or olefin, each having its own properties. When nylon outperforms other fibers in durability and resilience, polyester stands for stain resistance and softness. Likewise wool is durable and natural while olefin is attractive and inexpensive but not as resilient as nylon. There are also other new options in the market especially among the hospitality carpets in Dubai like Triexta which has permanent anti-stain properties. Also never say ‘No’ to the padding as it is the essence of carpeting and will enable your carpet to stay in place all year round.
The size and shape of a carpet should always be decided in relation to the configuration of the room you are to place the carpet. As a wide carpet in a smaller room tends to be overwhelming, a smaller one in a larger space might make the room feel empty and characterless. Ideally, the size of the carpet actually defines the space it is put in. For instance, if your carpet is intended for the living room it should be in line with the size of the room as well as big enough to place your furniture on the borders of the carpet with at least two front legs on the carpet. Similarly in a bedroom carpet is ought to cover three forth of the bed space and a little is to be showcased at the back and the sides.
Although your taste and preferences may be the outline for choosing the color and pattern of a carpet, there are certain factors that you should be well aware of as the color, as well as the pattern choice, can greatly impact the look and feel of a space. The safe choice without a doubt is the neutral colors that will go with any furniture in the room. However in case you are a big fan of vibrant colors, and want your carpet to be the statement piece of the room, you could always go for a bold color but make sure it will go well with the rest of the furniture. Also be well versed with the lighting condition of the room, because a light color carpet always tends to reflect the light thereby making the room look bigger while a darker carpet absorbs light which might make the room look a little smaller.
Durability and maintenance are two critical factors to consider when you are purchasing a carpet. Consider the amount of foot traffic the carpet will receive, as well as any potential spills or stains that it is to undergo in its lifetime and this depends on where you place it. For example if it is for your dining room or if you have little children at home the chances of potential spills and stain are higher. Likewise choose Carpets with tight loops or low piles which are typically more durable and easier to clean and maintain if you have pets at home than those with loose, shaggy piles which will be torn down by your lovely kitten in no time.
Assuming that you are peculiar about your budget because who isn’t, keep in mind that a higher price doesn’t always guarantee the best quality and vice versa. Hence it is essential to consider factors like color, pattern size, material, and shape while setting your budget as there is a numerous variety of brands with endless combinations of styles to choose from. Also layering carpet could be an exhausting process if you are unfamiliar with it, but could totally skip the cost of installation if you know the method and hence you can save a few pennies just like that.
Choosing the perfect carpet for your space can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be if you do good research beforehand, make some wise decisions and choose a trusted seller to make your purchase.
