Are carpets in bedrooms an outdated style?

Paris Forino, a New York interior designer, has said that bedroom carpets are "dated and suburban".

However, many others believe that carpets do belong in bedrooms. Those who prefer carpets in their bedrooms say the pros outweigh the cons.

The main benefit of using bedroom carpets is that they make the space cosy. A lot of people enjoy the soft feel on their bare feet when they get out of bed in the morning. Emma Breislin, interior editor of Livingetc summarises this view:

"Softness and comfort outweigh all else, so why would you want to step onto cold timber floorboards when you could sink into a plush carpet?"

You don't have to sacrifice style by choosing carpets. There is an abundant selection of patterns, colours and textures available. Visit your local carpet retailer in North Wales to see their extensive carpet range. Done right, bedroom wall-to-wall carpets can make a striking visual style statement.

Wall-to-wall carpets are more difficult to keep clean than hard surface flooring, requiring regular vacuuming and an occasional deep clean.

Carpets are available in many materials from natural luxurious wool to synthetic fibres. For an environmentally friendly option, install wool carpets and arrange for the old carpets to be sent to a recycling centre which extracts the materials for use in new products.

An alternative to carpets is to place deep pile rugs on hard floors to add softness to the bedroom.

Many owners of carpets in North Wales firmly believe that carpets are far from outdated and unstylish.
