When it comes to flooring your home, the options can feel overwhelming. While tiles, hardwoods, and laminates can be costly and time-consuming, installing carpet can be just the opposite. With a cozy feel and a great price, carpeting may be the material you need to turn your house into a home.
1. Soft & Warm
Do you spend a lot of time barefoot at home? You’re not alone. Carpeting is the perfect material for those who want a more comfortable and warm floor. Installing carpet in your home has many benefits as far as comfort. Not only do the carpet fibers and padding add a squishiness to your floor, but the warmth compared to hard flooring options is more inviting to those of us who enjoy roaming our homes with bare feet.
If there are children in your home, carpeting can also be a great option. Much of playtime involves floor activities. Though the occasional rug burn is bound to happen during bouts of inevitable rough-housing, carpeting is the ideal flooring choice for children. From playing board games to building couch cushion forts, carpet is comfortable and safe for children (and adults) of all ages.
2. Style Options
If the thought of installing carpet in your home evokes visions of 70s shag and brown 1980s textures, rest assured that options have greatly improved over the last few decades. Carpets now come in a variety of styles, piles, and patterns. Cut and loop carpeting incorporates subtle patterns such as swirls and chevrons. Of course, another way to add some flair to your space is to choose distinct carpet color for your home. Whites and creams work in almost every room and are among the most popular colors when installing carpets. However, bold or dark colors are also available and can make quite a statement.
3. Minimal Maintenance
Compared to other flooring options that pose the risk of possible scrapes, scratches, and dents, carpet is a very forgiving flooring. Carpet is very durable, needing almost no upkeep aside from the occasional vacuuming or shampooing. It is recommended to shampoo your carpet every 12 to 18 months. Another benefit of installing carpets is that many options today have built-in stain resistance, which makes them easier to clean when those inevitable spills happen. With proper upkeep and maintenance, carpet is a flooring option that can last as long, if not longer, as hard floor options.
4. Cost Effective
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, installing carpeting is cost-effective. As with most anything, there is a range in price depending on the type of carpet you’re looking at. Even still, the price range of carpeting is often lower when compared to other flooring options.
Installing carpets is also less labor intensive than other flooring styles like tile or hardwoods. If you’re on a budget, installing carpet can be a smart option. Because of the ease of installation, you can get it professionally installed for less time and less money than other floorings. We always recommend that any flooring be professionally installed. Ensuring your flooring is properly installed is another way to increase the longevity of your flooring choice.
The Benefits of Installing Carpet
Installing carpet comes with many perks in both function and aesthetic. Comfort, style, maintenance, and cost are only a few reasons why installing carpet in your home may be a nice option for your space. With plenty of styles and numerous color options, there is bound to be a carpet that is perfect for your home.
