Whether it’s the frequent running around, spilled food or stains – small children can be hard on your carpets. This is why your chosen carpet has to be durable, all while being comfortable and practical. Here at Textures Flooring, we know how difficult this can be, especially with the wide range that’s available on the market. Below, we take you through some things to consider when choosing carpets for your family home.
While you may love to have a light, neutral carpet – it’s certainly not the best choice for hiding stains and damage. A medium to dark colour carpet such as grey or brown are a must-have for family homes. Alternatively, a patterned carpet is great for masking stains, in addition to adding a playful edge to your home.
As mentioned above, durability is an important factor when it comes to choosing carpets for your family home. For optimum durability, it’s best to install a synthetic carpet, as they can withstand heavy footfall much better than natural fibres. Additionally, synthetic carpets can be easily cleaned, with most synthetic carpets being stain and water resistant.
When choosing a carpet for a high-traffic area like a children’s playroom, the carpet texture will make a huge difference. For example, low pile carpets which have shorter carpet fibres and tighter loops are highly durable. In addition to offering higher traction, which is great for areas such as staircases and other areas where children may slip.
