A good carpet adds value to a home in many different ways. It adds resale value to a property, it cuts down heating bills, it feels good underfoot, and it looks good too. No wonder re-carpeting a home is one of 
Britain’s favourite makeover projects. But which carpet to choose, and why? What should a Flooring Contractor in London, for example, discuss.
o Avoid buying cheap if at all possible. Low quality has a habit of showing through after a few years when the pile collapses underfoot. Good quality, on the other hand can keep looking good for decades. Driving factors are the carpet pile, the fibres used and their density.
o If you Find a Flooring Contractor who knows their business, the first thing they may want to know is the use to which you intend to put the area concerned. As a rule of thumb, better quality hard-wearing carpets belong in passageways and family rooms, whereas money can be saved by lowering quality slightly in the bedrooms. Rooms that small children may frequent, like nurseries deserve 
special attention too. Here the emphasis must be on stain resistance and ease of cleaning.
o Once the carpet range has been selected a decision must be made on colour, and here the fun begins. Lighter colour carpets make rooms seem larger by reflecting light, but show the dirt. Darker colours are more practical but could depress. We all have our favourite colours, but, if you are thinking of selling on soon, don’t go too wild, or you could lose the sale.
