Why you should have carpet in your home(2)

5. Carpets provide a healthier space

Carpet is a natural filter that collects dust and hair and traps allergens. With tiles and hardwood, these particulate matter can get into your vents, your air supply, and anywhere else. Dust will simply collect in the corners of your home and will be pulled into the air every time someone moves. Carpets can neatly trap dust, dirt and dander so that it can be vacuumed up later. By reducing airborne allergens, carpets can improve air quality and support a healthier living space. Of course, you will still need to have it professionally cleaned every so often, as this dust can be ground into the carpet's fibres and even penetrate the carpet's backing.

6. Carpets are easy to clean

Compared to some flooring options, carpets are very easy to clean. As long as you vacuum regularly and occasionally invest in a professional cleaning, it will still look new. Compare this to something like natural stone flooring, which needs to be sealed regularly, or tile flooring, which may require regular cleaning of the grout. Hardwood floors often need to be resurfaced to restore their former appearance - linen and vinyl floors can get scratched if you don't clean them properly. If you don't want to spend a lot of time on cleaning and maintenance, carpet flooring has many advantages.

7. Carpets come in many different styles

There is a carpet colour and style for everyone. Depending on what you want your home's style to look like, you have a huge range of options. From the ultra-modern and sophisticated home to the classic and cosy home, rugs can enter.

8. Everyone loves carpets

Carpets are one of the most popular flooring choices. If you're selling your home, installing carpet is unlikely to be a deal breaker. Many people do want the benefits of carpet flooring. If you're considering selling your home in the next few years, it's a good idea to consider which finishes will prove most popular and which options are likely to complicate the sale of your home.

Carpet is a durable, affordable and versatile option. There's a reason why so many homes have carpet: it's easy to maintain, can be customised to suit any décor and supports healthy living. While some people may be concerned that carpet may not stay as clean as they really want it to, all it needs is vacuuming and the occasional professional cleaning.
