No matter whether you have recently moved or have a newly decorated home, the decision can be tough.

What most salesmen don\u2019t know or even consider is that often the soft, long-piled fibres can be the worst option. When crumbs find their way into the fibres along with the rapidly gathering dust, it creates the perfect environment for welcoming dust mites, moths, and other unwanted visitors. This leads to your once luxurious floor covering looking old and worn after a year or so. That\u2019s why our team of <a href=\"https:\/\/cleanercleaner.co.uk\/carpet-cleaning\/\">carpet cleaners<\/a> at Cleaner Cleaner has put together this guide on how to choose carpets for your new home, helping you achieve that stylish home interior that lasts.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_74 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/cleanercleaner.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-choose-carpets-for-your-new-home\/#How_to_Choose_Carpets_for_Your_New_Home_by_Getting_the_Best_Fibre_Type\" >How to Choose Carpets for Your New Home by Getting the Best Fibre Type<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/cleanercleaner.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-choose-carpets-for-your-new-home\/#How_to_Choose_Carpets_for_Your_New_Home_According_to_the_Rooms_Style\" >How to Choose Carpets for Your New Home According to the Room\u2019s Style<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/cleanercleaner.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-choose-carpets-for-your-new-home\/#1_Choosing_Carpets_for_the_Bedroom\" >1.

But it is better to choose a fibre type first, then continue looking for the perfect fit for your home. This is because it can be disheartening finding the ideal floor covering and then discovering that maybe it is not the best choice due to the material it is made from.<\/p>\n<p>A salesman will typically go for convincing you to buy a long pile, soft fibre, such as polypropylene. However, the issue with this type of material is that they gather grime and dust easily. It provides a warm and dark environment with debris stuck in the fibres &#8211; the perfect habitat for dust mites, moths, and other unwanted squatters. Because they are so difficult to maintain, their pile goes flat and they end up looking rather old and battered after a certain amount of time.<\/p>\n<p>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/cleanercleaner.co.uk\/blog\/viscose-rugs-pros-cons-cleaning-maintenance\/\">Pros and Cons of Getting a Viscose Rug<\/a><\/p>\n<p>That is why when you are looking for the luxurious, soft feel in a carpet, you are better off going for one with a <strong>thick underlay<\/strong>. It is the underlay that will give you that bouncy, luscious feel that you are looking for in a rug. We would also recommend going for either a <strong>short pile or loop pile wool carpet.<\/strong> The short, dense piles don\u2019t accumulate too much debris and dust. Also, any stains or spillages will be <strong>much easier to deal with<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You might also like: <a href=\"https:\/\/cleanercleaner.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-clean-and-maintain-handmade-oriental-rugs\/\">How to Clean and Maintain Handmade Oriental Rugs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Why go for wool over polypropylene? We know you are likely to be persuaded using the \u201cpolypropylene is bleach-cleanable\u201d argument. However, a good wool carpet that is cared for properly can give you up to <strong>25 years of comfort<\/strong> if cared for properly. Whereas polypropylene and other synthetic rugs are going to give you at most 10-15 years. They aren\u2019t made to bounce back and will end up looking worn and old. Wool carpets are made with a <strong>natural, renewable fibre<\/strong> that deters bacteria and dust mites.

Choosing Carpets for the Bedroom<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your bedroom is your safe place, so you will want to go for a<strong> nice soft carpet<\/strong> that covers the entire, or at least nearly the entire floor. This will create a <strong>cosy, comfortable environment.<\/strong> You will also want to go for your favourite colours or designs, choosing something that will feel more <em>you<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Choosing_Carpets_for_Guest_RoomsChildrens_Rooms\"><\/span>2. Choosing Carpets for Guest Rooms\/Children\u2019s Rooms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Here, if you decided to go for long fibres in the other rooms, we highly recommend you stick with <strong>short pile floor coverings<\/strong>. Children and guests have the tendency of being a bit careless regarding spillages and whatnot. They also might end up walking around in shoes, so you will want something that will be easy to clean up. We also recommend you get a carpet with <strong>various prints or geometrical shapes.<\/strong> This will help hide any marks and trails if you end up with a permanent stain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Choosing_Carpets_for_the_HallEntrance_Room\"><\/span>3. Choosing Carpets for the Hall\/Entrance Room<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For the entrance room to your home, we recommend you go with the same trick for guest rooms.

Choosing Carpets for the Living Room<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For your living room, you might want to consider the size of the room before making any decision. If your chill-out zone is quite large, you might want to consider <strong>sectioning it off using smaller carpets<\/strong>. This will help divide your TV lounging area and eating area, for example, into visible zones.<\/p>\n<p>If your living room is smaller, get a <strong>pretty floor covering<\/strong> that covers the entire floor to give it some life. Smaller rugs would emphasize the on the not-so-big room.
