If you can relate to either scenarios, you’ve come to the right blog. We understand your brain is swimming from all the things needed to turning your home into the perfect place you’ve been craving. As you consider repainting and altering layouts, one area that needs focus is finding the right flooring for every room.

There’s an insurmountable choices today when it comes to flooring for your home. Many people are increasingly opting for tile and hardwood flooring, as it can be cheaper, easier to maintain, and brings a modern look to homes. However, carpeting offers the same benefits and even more. It’s one of the most versatile options for flooring available. From durable commercial carpets to luxurious shag, there’s something for everyone.

Don Nash Flooring definitely agrees that having a carpeted home provides many perks that can benefit any type of household. From low-cost prices to easy-maintenance, a carpet can go a long way in improving your home’s overall look and feel. If you’re undecided about choosing carpet flooring, below are good reasons why you should consider doing so.

Comfortable Underfoot

Above all, many found carpet the most comfortable choice amongst other flooring. This is why even homes with hardwood floors usually have a carpet in the bedrooms and living rooms. It’s not just that it feels good on your feet but also gives a “softer” feel to the home.

Moreover, it’s also an ideal choice during the cold weather. A carpet provides warmth and comfort to your underfoot when long, cold days come. You can even improve the comfort of the carpet even further by purchasing a thicker padding to go under it. All in all, it’s by far the most comfortable flooring option.  Nothing compares to the soft, luxurious feeling of carpet under your feet.

Safety Features

From toddlers learning to walk to elderly family members with restricted mobility, a carpeted flooring proves to be much safer than a harder surface. Carpet flooring provides a safe, comfortable spot for kids to play and may even reduce the risk of injury in case of falls. Anyone can slip and fall and having a softer surface can prevent major injuries in case a fall happen. Additionally, it’s a lot less slippery than tiled or vinyl surfaces, helping to prevent falls in the first place.

Aesthetic Appeal

The lot choose carpet because this kind of home décor provides versatility and a good sense of fashion inside your home, without breaking your wallet. It also offers a sense of practicality and that is without a doubt. There’s plenty of color, patterns, and style for everyone to handpick from. Depending on what you want your home’s style to look like, you have a wealth of options to choose from. Carpet can go into everything from modern, sophisticated to classic, cozy interior.

Healthier Space

If you don’t know, carpets act as a natural filter, collecting dust and fur and trapping allergens. With other flooring choices, such airborne agents will go into your vents, your air supply, and everywhere else. Carpets, on the other hand, neatly captures dust, dirt, and dander which you can extract with a vacuum cleaner. Basically, this improves air quality and supports healthier spaces for living.

Compared to other options, carpets are extremely easy to clean, as long as you vacuum it regularly—maybe invest in a professional cleaning occasionally—you can easily keep your family protected from haphazard floating in the air. 

Quieter Environment

There’s a reason why most apartments install carpets. You see, this naturally dampens noise and clatter. It will muffle sounds in one room, so they don’t transfer into other rooms, this is especially important when you have an entertainment room or children. It will muffle sounds from running, screaming, and playing. Pair it with a thicker pad and you’ll dampen sounds even further.

In the end, much of the decision to opt for carpet over other options comes down to personal choice and taste. If you need help making that decision, why not speak with Don Nash Flooring? They can show you beautiful samples and talk you through the pros and cons of carpeting.
