Which carpet is right for your home?
Think about how each room is used before choosing a style. A bedroom may benefit from a softer feel, while stairs, hallways and busy living spaces generally need a carpet that can cope with regular foot traffic. Samples viewed in the room can also help you judge colour in the available light.
Twist pile and textured carpets
Twist pile carpets have a textured finish and are a practical option for many everyday rooms. Their appearance varies by fibre, density and construction, so compare samples and care guidance before deciding.
Loop pile carpets
Loop pile creates a distinct woven texture. It can suit contemporary or understated interiors, but it may not be the best match for every household, particularly where pets could catch their claws in the loops.
Wool and wool-blend carpets
Wool and wool-blend options are often chosen for their natural feel and appearance. They can differ in price, wear characteristics and cleaning requirements, so check the product specifications for the particular carpet.
Carpet for stairs, bedrooms and living rooms
For stairs and landings, prioritise suitable wear performance and a secure, neat installation. In bedrooms, comfort underfoot may be the main consideration. Living rooms often need a balance of comfort, appearance and resilience to everyday use.
Also consider underlay, door clearance and the condition of the existing subfloor. These details affect how the finished carpet feels and fits. Your fitter can advise on preparation and any requirements for the rooms being covered.
What happens before carpet fitting?
- Measure the rooms: accurate measurements help establish how much carpet is needed and how it should be laid.
- Choose the carpet and underlay: compare samples, construction, colour, maintenance and suitability for each room.
- Check the subfloor: the surface may need preparation before new flooring can be installed.
- Plan the fitting: discuss furniture, thresholds, doors, stairs and access before the appointment.
- Review the finish: check edges, joins and transitions once installation is complete.

Frequently asked questions
Which carpet is best for a busy hallway?
Look for a carpet designed for regular foot traffic and check its wear rating and cleaning instructions. The best choice depends on your household, budget and preferred appearance.
Should I replace the underlay when fitting a new carpet?
Often it is worth assessing the underlay rather than assuming the old one can be reused. Worn or unsuitable underlay can affect comfort and the finished result; ask your fitter to check its condition.
Can the same carpet be used on stairs and in bedrooms?
Sometimes, provided the product is suitable for both settings. Stairs need particular attention to wear, grip and fitting, so confirm the carpet’s suitability before ordering.
