Explore your lifestyle and room use
What?s your budget? Do you have a large or small family with pets or senior residents who use mobility devices? What is the overall style of your home? Remember to bring paint chips and fabric samples, design pages. Keep in mind that the showroom?s lighting may not be the same as yours so ask if you can take samples to see how everything looks in your surroundings.
Now let?s talk specifically about the room in which it?s to be installed because every space has its priorities and challenges, What may work in one area may not work in another.??Ask yourself how the room is going to be used if it?s the center of family activity or just used for guests. Does it have heavy or light foot traffic, or direct access to the outdoors where mud and soil can be easily tracked in?
Carpet color is a big decision
Does the room get heavy use? If so, a white or light-colored rug may not be great in that instance. Do you have pets and, if so, what color? If the animal has white or black fur, you may want to stay away from certain colors.
Is the room large or small? Smaller rooms can be visually expanded with lighter colored carpets while larger rooms can be made cozier by using a mid-to-darker surface. Consider the lighting. Natural light shows the true color while rooms on the shadier north side of a house may need lighter shades.
