Carpets set to make comeback

During the past 20 years, hard surface flooring has become more popular than carpets, but this could be changing.

The pandemic has meant more people spending time at home. This has focused their minds on the need to make their homes more comfortable, and carpets make a room feel very warm and cosy.

One argument made against carpets is that they are difficult to keep clean. However, advancements in fibre technology have made carpets easier to clean and maintain.

According to Kevin Brasler, writing for The Washington Post, wall-to-wall carpets are making a comeback in the USA. Design trends that start in America tend to then influence Britain.

Brasler recognises that buying a carpet is a major decision, as:

“Unlike most redecorating projects, buying carpet is a major commitment. Because carpeting dramatically affects the look of a room, lasts a long time and can cost thousands of dollars.”

Brasler recommends taking time to choose the best carpet. There are important decisions to make about the style, pattern, colour and texture of the carpet.

For carpets in the Wrexham, Chester and North Wales area, visit a local carpet retailer and installer to see carpet samples and to find the one best suited for your home decor.

Many households are looking at ways to upgrade their homes to make them more comfortable and luxurious. A quality new carpet is a simple way to transform a room from an ordinary room to a luxurious one, fit for relaxing and feeling at home in.
