Choose the perfect carpet for your home

Choosing the right carpet can transform your home, adding warmth, comfort, and style. At Michael Heavin Carpets & Furniture in Athlone, we understand that selecting the perfect carpet is an important decision. Whether you’re updating a single room or revamping your entire home, here’s a guide to help you find the ideal carpet to match your needs.

1. Consider Your Lifestyle

Before choosing a carpet, think about your household’s daily activities. Do you have kids or pets? Is the room a high-traffic area like a hallway or living room? For busy spaces, opt for durable, stain-resistant carpets, while plush options are great for bedrooms where comfort is key.

2. Choose the Right Material

Different carpet materials offer various benefits:

• Wool: Soft, durable, and naturally stain-resistant.
• Nylon: Strong and resistant to wear, making it great for high-traffic areas.
• Polyester: Budget-friendly and stain-resistant, perfect for homes with pets.
• Polypropylene: Highly durable and moisture-resistant, ideal for basements or rental properties.

3. Pick a Style That Matches Your Home

Carpets come in various styles and textures. Some popular choices include:

• Saxony: A classic, soft, and luxurious cut pile.
• Berber: A looped style that’s durable and great for busy households.
• Frieze: A modern, textured carpet that hides footprints and vacuum marks well.
• Patterned Carpets: Add a decorative touch to any room.

4. Select the Right Colour

The colour of your carpet plays a major role in the overall ambiance of your home. Light shades make a space feel larger and airier, while darker tones add cosiness and hide dirt better. Neutral colours are timeless, while bold hues can create a statement.

5. Don’t Forget Underlay!

A good quality underlay enhances comfort, extends your carpet’s lifespan, and improves insulation. Investing in the right underlay can make all the difference in the performance of your carpet.
