Three carpet styles for your living room

There's nothing like a carpet installation to add elegance and style to your home. It comes in various colors, styles, fibers, and budgets.

You’ll also appreciate the numerous benefits. For example, the carpet's temperature insulation capabilities will keep you warm and toasty during those long Wisconsin winters.

Choosing the right carpet

A lot depends upon your lifestyle and budget. Only some styles will work everywhere.

Consider how the room is to be used. For example, will it be the center of family activity or only for entertainment? Do you get a lot of foot traffic?

Also, consider family size, kids, pets, etc. Here are three carpet styles that work best in living rooms.

Berber styles: always a great choice

Berber styles are looped constructions, ideal for any decor. However, most recognize the Berber mainly for its color variation of a neutral background with gray or brown flecks.

But the Berber rug has evolved over the years. Today, there is an extensive color palette that includes both solid hues and multi-tones. In addition, these rugs are versatile, highly durable, and even somewhat spill-proof; the tightly woven loops keep spills from absorbing.

Basic and low cut-piles

Look at the rug pile in the carpet store in St. Croix Falls, WI. There are two that are good for any level of foot traffic. The primary cut pile has short, evenly sheared fibers with a "fuzzy" appearance.

Low-pile rugs are fashionable and come in many fibers. They work well in any decor and are durable and easy to clean.

Cut and loop

This is as it sounds! Fiber lengths create patterns like pin dots, geometrics, and sculpted marble.

This rug is fashionable enough for living rooms. It works in any decor and traffic level.
