Carpet that brings comfort and style together

What carpet pile is right for your space?

Carpet pile refers to the visible fibers that create the flooring's surface; how those fibers are cut, looped, twisted, or arranged influences appearance, texture, durability, and maintenance.

• Cut pile carpet has yarn loops cut at the ends, creating a soft surface. Depending on its construction, it can look smooth and elegant or textured and casual.
• Loop pile carpet leaves the yarn loops intact. This construction can deliver impressive durability, making it useful for busy rooms and many commercial environments.
• Patterned carpet uses varying pile heights or a combination of cut and loop fibers to create visual interest. Patterns range from subtle textures to more distinctive designs.
• Textured carpet positions fibers at different angles for a relaxed appearance that can help disguise footprints and vacuum marks.

Our experienced showroom team can help you compare pile styles based on comfort, traffic, maintenance, and design preferences.

Which carpet fiber should you choose?

Carpet fiber affects softness, durability, stain resistance, appearance, and price. Understanding the differences can make your decision much easier.

• Nylon is strong and resilient. It performs well under regular foot traffic, making nylon carpet a popular option for active households, stairs, hallways, and commercial spaces.
• Polyester is known for softness and excellent color clarity. Available in a wide range of shades, polyester carpet can provide an appealing combination of comfort, style, and value.
• Triexta combines a soft feel with strong stain resistance and durability. It can be an excellent choice for busy households, including homes with children and pets.
• Olefin, or polypropylene, offers good resistance to moisture and staining. It is often used in loop-pile and certain commercial carpet styles.
• Wool is a premium natural fiber prized for its luxurious texture, resilience, and timeless appearance. Wool carpet typically requires a higher investment and more specialized care.

We'll help you compare fibers based on where your carpet will be installed and how you live.

Choosing your carpet color

Color has a major influence on the mood of a room. Cream, beige, and light gray can create an open, airy appearance. Medium neutrals such as taupe and greige offer versatility while helping disguise some everyday wear. Darker carpet can create depth, warmth, and contrast.

Think about your wall color, furniture, cabinetry, natural light, and overall design before deciding. Our in-house design consultants can help coordinate your carpet with other finishes, while our 3D design services make it easier to visualize larger projects.

Carpet maintenance tips

A simple maintenance routine can help your carpet look better for longer. Vacuum regularly, paying extra attention to hallways, entrances, stairs, and other high-traffic areas. Promptly blot spills with a clean cloth instead of rubbing them deeper into the fibers.

Always choose cleaning products approved for your specific carpet and follow the manufacturer's care instructions. Periodic professional carpet cleaning can remove embedded soil that regular vacuuming may leave behind.

Entry mats also help reduce tracked-in dirt, while furniture pads can protect carpet beneath heavy furnishings.
