The newest trends in carpet

In the past twenty years of my experience in floor covering I have seen fads come and go, and that constant question that comes up “What kind of flooring do I want in my home?”

For most of us, we know what we select is a statement reflecting what we want to feel, or the mood we want to create. If you like soft carpet you might want to choose supple, deep pile, tactile textures they are very much in vogue these days. Comfortable textured carpet makes practical, as well as decorating sense. Among the most popular textured carpets are softer micro-fibres like tactesse by Stainmaster, which is a smaller denier and creates less friction to the touch than carpets of the past. Up to this point, wool was the only style of yarn that could provide the consumer with the feel and softness that most people desired, but not anymore!

If you are looking for a durable carpet with the best stain protection, check out Lee’s, who offers a premium selection of many varieties and colors to from which to choose. With a 25-year guaranteed wear, 25-year stain warranty, and lifetime installation warrantee. Add to that the “ Beautiful Guarantee” that promises that “you’ll love the way you’re new floor looks or we’ll replace it-free.”

The Liz Claiborne line has rich textures and stylish color palettes. With a look exclusively to Liz, her selections offer functions, fashion and flair that can definitely enhance a mood.

If environment makes you feel a certain way depending on what colors and textures you choose, then you might want to surround yourself with Karastan or Ralph Lauren. The selections and the “looks” you can create are endless. Karastan also carries an “eco-friendly” product called Smart Strand, which is made from 40% corn. This beck dyed renewable polymer, which resists stain and soiling, offers a lifetime stain warranty. Because it is made with corn every 7 yards of Smart Strand saves a gallon of gas. As an added bonus, Smart Strand has the feel of corn silk, which is something you must feel and touch, and in my opinion, is one of the carpets of the future!
