Choosing the right carpet for your home is all about the details: the size, colour and texture of your carpet all have a role to play in determining the overall aesthetic of your living space. So how can you feel confident in getting it right? One of the most effective strategies is to actually see a selection of carpets in your interior before coming to a decision. Read on to find out more about our free home carpet trial.
The Importance of Carpet Samples in Home Design
When you’re shopping around for carpets, you might have an idea of the design in mind. Perhaps you’re drawn to the intricate patterns of vintage carpets, or the perfect circles of modern round rugs. However, it’s important to get a sense of how your chosen carpet will work with your furniture and other décor elements. For example, how does the colour interact with the lighting conditions? By looking at physical samples in your living space, you can build an accurate picture to inform your final choice.
How to Choose the Right Carpet with Samples
Ready to give our carpet trial a go? We’ve rounded up the best carpet buying tips to get the most out of the service:
• Subtle changes in lighting can make all the difference, so look at your sample in natural daylight as well as under electric lights in the evening
• The feel of a carpet is just as important as the way it looks: take a barefoot walk on your trial carpet to assess its softness and comfort
• Check the dimensions in relation to your floorspace: large 400x500 carpets, for example, should leave at least 18” of bare flooring around the edges to avoid overwhelming the room
Benefits of Trying Carpets at Home Before Buying
Trying carpets before buying offers a number of advantages. A trial helps you determine the dimensions of your carpet in relation to your floorspace and furniture: for example, if you’re looking for an area rug to define your dining zone, it’s important to make sure that there’s enough space to pull out all your dining chairs completely.
It’s also an opportunity to experiment. Ever wondered what bold colours or geometric patterned carpets would look like in your space? A carpet trial offers a risk-free way to find out. Essentially, by letting you visualise a carpet in your space before committing, it empowers you to feel confident in your purchase.
