Perfectly Homey
Carpets are available in cut and loop piles. Cut pile carpeting is best for your home because it is softer. It is also easier to clean in case of food spills. Loop piles on the other hand are hardy and better suited for commercial areas where there is more traffic.
You can choose woollen or synthetic carpeting. Synthetic carpets are available in acrylic, recron, polypropylene and a combination of wool and nylon. Non-branded carpets could cost anywhere from Rs.45 to Rs.100 per sq. ft. A branded one, on the other hand, could even go up to Rs.300 per sq. ft.
"Though woollen carpets are softer, they require higher maintenance," says Pushpendra Pal Singh Gautam, Zonal Sales Manager, Birla Trans-Asia Carpet Ltd. So if you don't have the time or the patience to clean, synthetic carpets are a better option.
Feels Good, Looks Even Better
For a small home, try carpets with pastel shades. They give the room a spacious look. Choose from sky blue, beige, pale yellow or even baby pink. Avoid light colours if you have a toddler about the place.
Use deep, rich colours for that plush look. You can choose from colours like royal blue, ivory, golden yellow, rusts and many more. Don't forget to match the carpet with the colour of the walls.
Add vibrancy to a drab and boring room with printed carpeting. Choose between floral prints, geometric designs and more. Printed carpets give a sparsely furnished room a fuller look.
Lay it Down
Carpets are pretty easy to install. The carpeting is generally stuck onto the ground with an adhesive. Some carpets are installed with grippers too. Ensure that the floor is dry, hard and even before the carpet is laid.
In case of regular wall-to-wall carpeting, the installation can be done directly onto your existing tiled flooring.
