Looking at different styles of carpet
Published: September 13, 2012
Carpet is always a popular flooring choice in Indianapolis area homes. And no wonder! It is quick to install, easy to care for and comes in a wide variety of options suitable for any room of your house.
Ahhh – but that last benefit is also one of the biggest challenges for people who are shopping for carpet. Cut pile… shag… berber… which type is just right for your Carmel living room or Avon dining room or Fishers bedroom? Don’t worry, Kermans is here to help. Here are some quick guidelines to get you started:
Have a high traffic area?
Highly twisted yarns will hold their shape better. Look for loop pile, cut loop pile, frieze or Berber styles.
Looking for a casual touch?
Cut pile, cut loop and shag carpets lend themselves nicely to a room with a fun, active atmosphere.
Need a more formal design?
Saxony or velvet carpets will give your room a soft, lush look and feel.
