Choosing the right carpet style is essential to achieving the look and performance you want in your space. Each style offers unique characteristics in appearance, feel, and durability.
Plush (Velvet) carpet features a smooth, even surface with a luxurious, formal appearance. The cut pile creates a soft, velvety texture that feels wonderful underfoot. Plush is ideal for bedrooms, formal living rooms, and spaces where comfort is the priority. Keep in mind that plush carpet may show footprints and vacuum marks more readily than textured styles.
Textured (Trackless) carpet has fibers that are twisted and set at different angles, creating a casual, multi-toned appearance that hides footprints and vacuum marks effectively. This versatile style works well in family rooms, hallways, and active living spaces.
Frieze carpet features tightly twisted fibers that curl in different directions, creating a casual, contemporary look with a slightly rough texture. This durable style resists matting and crushing, making it excellent for high-traffic areas.
Berber (Loop Pile) carpet features uncut loops in a level or multi-level pattern. Known for its durability and resistance to crushing, Berber is popular for family rooms, offices, and commercial spaces. It comes in both solid colors and flecked patterns.
Patterned carpet combines cut and loop pile heights to create geometric patterns, florals, or abstract designs directly in the carpet surface. These designer styles add visual interest and personality to any room.
Saxony carpet features densely packed, evenly cut fibers that create a smooth, refined finish. While similar to plush, Saxony has a slightly more textured appearance. It is ideal for formal settings and low-traffic areas.
