When the time comes to renovate & remodel a room, furniture and walls are what usually come to mind first. But in fact the floor covering also plays a key role in inspiring a room's atmosphere. Carpeting gives underfoot warmth and cozy chic to bedrooms, children's rooms and living rooms. And you can even install it yourself with some advance planning. A few things need to be considered.
Those who love the feel of cozy carpet pile underfoot can choose between broadloom carpeting, carpet floorboards, carpet tiles or edged rugs. The differences are mainly in size and format. Broadloom carpet is particularly well suited for those who want monochromatic flooring – whether bold red or green, for example – or in subdued earthy tones. Narrow, elongated carpet floorboards allow for contrasting floor designs. They can be used to create a trendy striped carpet pattern. A mix of blue hues, for example, brings freshness to a room. Distinct individual patterns, on the other hand, can best be achieved with square carpet tiles. Carpeting can bring a child's room to life in vivid colors of their choosing.
Since our carpet tiles and carpet floorboards can be installed without adhesives, they can be rearranged into a completely new look at any time. Arranging different colors is often seen as challenging, especially since tretford carpets come in over 60 colors and the possibilities are endless.
This is where our room planner comes into play; it lets you visualize various color combinations and designs in advance. You can either upload a photo of the room in question or click on a sample room to display the ideas you have in mind. Carpet runners or area rugs are the right choice for those who prefer to highlight their hardwood floors, stone tiles or laminate.
If superior indoor air quality is just as important to you as the soothing comfort of carpeting under your feet, you should consider our natural Cashmere goat hair and virgin wool carpets. The fine, scaly structure of natural hair absorbs moisture from the environment and releases it back as needed. Individuals who suffer from house dust allergies also stand to benefit from natural hair carpets. Indeed, dust and pet hair particles are easily swirled up into the air from a smooth, uncarpeted floor. The coarse structure of our natural carpets, on the other hand, bonds such particles until they are vacuumed up with a vacuum cleaner.
