  • Tips for Choosing a Rug

    1. When choosing a Rug From Carpet Factory Discount Rugs Showroom, we recommend you bring in a pillow from your couch, some curtain fabric or any other colour reference to your room to enable easy selection and avoid time wasting trips, back and forth to your home.
    2. Scatter cushions or coloured accessories (like picture frames) to match your rug are a great way to introduce a new colour into your room and make your rug blend in.
    3. Remember to measure the size of the maximum area for your rug, as certain designs are only available some sizes (a list of standard rugs sizes are available below).
    4. As a general rule, traditional Persian style rugs can suit both modern and traditional home décor, however very modern rugs tend to be better suited to a modern décor and may look out of place in room with an antique or very traditional look.

  • Choosing a Carpet Colour

     Top 4 hints for choosing carpet colours:

     

     

     

    1. Choose a carpet colour “before your paint colour.” It is far easier to mix a paint colour to match the carpet, than it will be to find a carpet in a colour to match your paint.
    2. Choose dark or strong colours in heavy traffic areas and try to keep the same colour in areas where that carpet joins another carpeted room.
    3. Choose a carpet from the dye lot on the roll! All Carpet samples state in the fine print that dyelot variations will occur from batch to batch. You would be amazed how much they can vary from a sample. And if the sample is older, the difference can be substantial. The best way to ensure the colour you choose is the same, is to see the actual stock roll you will be buying from, on display.
    4. Choose durable quality carpets to maintain a clean looking carpet, no matter what colour.
    5. Cheaper yarns like the polypropylene do not handle soiling well in light colours, and the cheaper polyseter may not have the same structural yarn memory of a nylon fibre. Polyester carpets may flatten out and look terrible in a medium to heavy use area.  The perfect colour can be useless if the carpet looks lifeless and matted. Although these soft and comfy carpet may feel luxurious under foot, It is important to take into consideration how softer carpet may handle the test of time. Quite often a firmer loop pile wool with a nice thick high quality underlay will feel just as nice under foot and usually out last any thick pile synthetic carpet. It can also be substantially cheaper than ordering a thick pile carpet that is less likely to peform in traffic areas of your home or commercial space.

    As previously mentioned, there are limited colours available in carpets and infinite colour options available in paint.

    To avoid disappointment or the expense of having to have a carpet colour custom made (yes we have done this) choose a carpet colour before settling on your paint and curtain colour scheme.

    Bring in your colour paint samples (or curtain swatches) and compare them to our full size rolls on display. This is the easiest and closest you will get to seeing how your carpet will look on the floor.
