If you are in the process of redecorating your home, you may be considering purchasing new carpet. With so many colors, textures, and sizes available, selecting new carpet can feel like an overwhelming task — but it doesn’t have to be. Carpet Land is Lincoln, NE’s choice dealer for carpet installation and sales. Below, their flooring experts explain what you should keep in mind when choosing new carpet for your home.

How Much Traffic Will the Carpet Get?

carpetDetermining how much traffic your carpet will get can help you decide on the color and material you should select. In homes with very little foot traffic, you can experiment with lighter colors and softer materials. If your floors see a lot of foot traffic, you may prefer a darker carpet from a durable brand such as Stainmaster.

Current Room Decor & Planned Changes

Have pictures of your current decor — including furniture and drapes — with you during your consultation. If you are redecorating the room entirely, bring swatches of the colors you are planning to use. This will help your consultant find a color and texture match for your room.

Whether or Not You Are Planning to Sell

If you are renovating your home because you’re planning to sell it, your consultant may recommend a basic carpet in a neutral color like beige, gray, or brown. If you are installing the carpet for personal use, you have more freedom to experiment with style, color, and texture.

The Lighting in Your Home

Homes with a lot of natural light allow the true color of a carpet to shine through. If you do not get a lot of light in your home, you may prefer a carpet in a lighter color to help the room appear brighter.
