Choosing a carpet for your home is not as straight-forward as it seems. Not only do you have to think about the colour and design, but you are also going to need to think about the carpet style that you would like to go for. What many people don’t realise is just how many different carpet styles there are to choose from. With this in mind, we have compiled a list of some of the most popular carpet styles to help you choose the best option for your home.
1. Twist Style
The twist style carpet is probably one of the most popular options at the moment and has been for a long time. There are a number of reasons for this, but one of the big factors is the level of comfort that it offers. If you have children in the home, then the twisted fibres of this carpet style will offer you durability, which is something that you will definitely need.
2. Saxony Style
If you’re looking for a carpet that’s going to provide ultimate comfort, then the saxony style is certainly worth looking into. This type of carpet has a very deep pile, meaning that it feels springy, incredibly soft and will last you a very long time. A carpet like this is best suited to the bedroom where it won’t be worn down too quickly.
3. Loop Pile Style
The loop pile carpet is a common type that you will see in homes up and down the country. The good thing about this type of carpet is that it is highly durable so will be very well-suited to areas in the home that get a lot of traffic, such as the hallway or the stairs. It’s cost effective and hard-wearing.
4. Berber Style
Another type which is a very cost effective option is the Berber style carpet. This type has a shorter cut than the loop pile but is still very durable. It is ideal for any room in the home, even those that get a lot of use. It is also a good option for landlords of properties who are on a small budget but want still want quality carpets for their properties. Again, this is a great option if you have kids in the home because of its durability.
5. Cut & Loop Style
For an option that offers an extra layer of comfort, the cut and loop style is definitely worth a look. This type of carpet is not as cost effective as some of the others, but it is certainly worth paying a little extra for the comfort that it offers. However, it’s worth noting that this carpet style is not going to be ideal for high traffic areas like stairs, hallways and landings.
6. Velvet Style
Without a doubt, one of the most luxurious carpet styles to consider is the velvet style. This is the option that you will want to go for if you are seeking ultimate levels of comfort. However, it’s definitely not one for those high traffic areas as it can get suffer from wear-and-tear more quickly.
Overall
These are some of the main carpet styles that you might consider when choosing a carpet for your home. It really all comes down to personal preference, the budget that you have available and the area of the home that is being carpeted.
