Different Materials Used in Carpet


Carpet as a flooring material stands out for providing a cushiony, warm feel to a home. Different materials are used to make carpets. Some of the most common fabrics are wool, silk, cotton, linen, tencel and jute. You must pick one with the right design while at the same time matching with the overall aesthetic of your home in order to strike the right balance. Here are some of the carpet materials that we use to manufacture our products.

 

Wool


Wool is, of course, the most popular carpet fiber. It's the best-looking and best-retention fiber out there. It's also highly durable and will instantly elevate any living space.

 

Silk


Silk, one of the most expensive carpet yarns, is known for its smooth feel, plush comfort, and gleaming beauty. Silk's filament threads don't shed, making it the strongest natural fabric. Its mesmerizing influence conveys a sense of opulence.

 

Cotton


Cotton is a well-known plant-based carpet fabric. These carpets are light, cool and great for the summer, making them a comfortable choice for any room in the house. Cotton carpets can also be used to give a classic look to your kitchen, porch, and other smaller areas.

 

Linen


Linen gives a clean, refined appearance. Linen carpets are the best pick for complementing interiors with a more relaxed, minimalist aesthetic. Its natural fibers are incredibly light and fluffy. Feel cool and refreshed with our collection today.

 

Tencel


Tencel carpets are an excellent choice for adding a plush, lavish touch to any room. Tencel is derived from the wood pulp of sustainable tree farms. Besides their extreme softness, the fibers are also known for letting the color shine through.

 

Jute


A jute rug's golden hue never fails to draw admirers. Jute carpets are suitable for a wide range of interior design styles and are perceived as highly attractive and unique. Their versatility allows you to choose from a wide range of styles and designs.

Different Sizes of Carpets


No matter how large or small the carpet is, choosing the correct size can bring your room together and give it a cohesive look. Choosing a rug should be based on the layout of the room. Here are a few things you need to know before you shop for carpets for each room.

 

Living Room Carpet


Carpets in living rooms are among the most significant elements of interior design. 9' x 12' is the most popular size for a living room carpet. In addition, your furniture arrangement and the size of the room influence the size of your carpet. Carpets measuring 6' x 9' or 8' x 10' in living room spaces are good options as well.

 

Bedroom Carpets


Having carpets in the bedroom conveys a cosy and welcoming feel while also adding a style of its own. In order to ensure that your bedroom carpets have the proper size, they must be aligned with the length and width of your bed. The location and the size of the room will determine which measurements work best. In order to really bring the bedroom look together, along with the bed and nightstands, a 9' by 12' rug is an excellent option. The rug sizes - 8' x 10' or 6' x 9' - can also be suitable options depending on your taste.

 

Dining Room


Dining room carpets are a great way to adorn dining tables. They should be big enough to place the table and chairs. Scale the carpeting to the room. A 9' by 12' rug can comfortably fit most seven-piece dining sets. A 4' or 6' round rug that replicates the set's silhouette can also work well with a dining bistro set in a cozier dining space.

 

Hallway and Entryway Styling


Carpets take center stage in hallways and entryways. Usually, furniture is arranged along one side of the room and the rug is placed in the middle. Runner carpets, which are long and thin carpets, are perfect for hallways and other places where you'd like to clearly mark the direction. The most common runner heights are 8' and 12'. Other sizes include 6' x 8' and 3' x 12'.

FAQs

 

How do I choose a good quality carpet?


The quality of the carpet is as significant as its appearance. As you select the fabric, style, and design, it becomes easier to determine the quality. It is imperative to check for factors like the material type, thickness, fabric quality, and stitches per inch and how long it will last.

 

When does the carpet need to be replaced?


Typically, carpet fibers get tattered within three to five years of regular use. So if you notice that your carpet is looking a bit worse for wear after regular use, you may want to consider getting a new one.

 

How often do I need to clean my carpet?


A carpet requires comprehensive cleaning every 12 to 18 months to keep it looking and operating at its best. This is not a rule, though; rather, it is a guideline and may vary depending on the fabric, weather, use, and other factors.
