Treat Your Floor to a New Carpet or Rug

Though hardwood floors have always been the preferred choice over carpeting, if you are looking to upgrade the look of your home or accessorize the floor of any room, carpeting can do the trick. But many customers face problems at the moment of choosing a new carpet, abandoning the idea because they get overwhelmed by types, materials, colors, sizes and many other attributes. So, to help you decide, here are some of the hottest brands at affordable prices for this summer season.

When choosing a carpet, make sure that you ask all the right questions, and then some more. Ask whether the material is durable and easy to clean for high traffic areas, if you are looking to use carpeting either in the living room or the kitchen, two of the most frequented rooms of any household. Then also ask for installation requirements; some carpets need adhesive and others don’t, so this can make a huge difference at the moment of deciding which carpet to choose. Many homeowners choose carpeting that do not require adhesive because they can save the money of installation by doing it themselves. So, if you are the do-it-yourself kind of person, this can be a great affordable choice.

Ask your vendor if they provide special cleaning products such as soil and stain blockers and antimicrobial treatments. It is best to get your carpeting and treatments in one place to avoid the hassle of looking for the right product at the last minute.

Once you have asked all the right questions, consider these brands that have become the hottest items this summer season so far, and some of them are even eco-friendly.

For example, RugSale.com has a line of affordable environmentally-sound carpets, such as the TAOS Collection by Nourison, woven by hand with high-quality wool. This rug is made with earthy color tones and tribal design, a trend that has been in quite high demand in the past few years.

HomeDepot also launched its new line of carpeting for this season, offering some of the most creative designs at very competitive prices. For example, the Legato Fuse Block is a carpet tile that is easy to install and to maintain and you can coordinate virtually everything in your room around its shapes and colors.

According to the vendor, these tiles are very durable; they can also be used in commercial areas, so they are made with long-lasting materials and colors, and their construction is the closest you can get to industrial but with residential looks.

The Legato is made with nylon and it can resist stains and can be used both indoors and outdoors. And since these tiles do not require adhesive, you can install them yourself saving you time and money on additional costs. These are quite versatile as well, allowing to be installed as area rugs or can be mixed to create a more freestyle design.

And for those who are not scared of making bold choices, FloorSection has launched its line of high-graphic, high-color carpets. One featured item on their collection is Reflections – Hot Flush & Black, which is more of an artwork than anything else you will see. Actually, you will almost feel guilty walking on these high-end carpets, since they come in such great designs that are more apt for clothing than on you floors.

This indoor piece of art illustrated by Henzelby, has a large semi-pixelated print of a woman’s face with patches of different tones of fuchsia. This rug is made with 100% wool and it is truly a bold statement for any floor. If you are looking for exquisite design and you appreciate high-end and abstract design, then this rug is for you.
