About carpet

Carpet is the most versatile floor. There is a large choice in design, structure and colour. How to choose the best carpet when there are so many possibilities? Please find some information below that might help in choosing the right carpet for you.

Fibre type

Tufted carpets are made from different fibre types, both natural and synthetic. The fibre type largely determines the appearance, texture and performance of a carpet and it is therefore important to distinguish the different options.

wool

  • wool is a natural fibre from sheep and is both renewable and sustainable.
  • the fibre structure is strong and hard-wearing and provides natural protection to help resist staining and soiling. It is also naturally flame retardant.
  • wool carpets have a natural and soft luxurious feel.

wool blends

  • wool blends are a mixture between wool and a synthetic yarn, often polypropylene, in often a 50/50 or 80/20 mix.
  • wool blends offer good value for money, combining the durability from polypropylene with the natural appearance and luxurious feel of wool.

polyamide

  • polyamide is a synthetic fibre with excellent performance characteristics.
  • polyamide has a luxurious look and soft feel.
  • polyamide has a reduced soil adherence and is heat and wear resistant, making polyamide carpets exceptionally hard-wearing and highly durable.
  • compared to polyamide 6, polyamide 6.6 has a softer feel and even better performance characteristics.

The perfect colour

Choosing the right colour is not easy, because colour is very decisive in a room. Carpet is available in practically all colours. Polyamide is available in an extensive colour palette, where wool carpets are often only available in more natural shades.
Solution dyed polyester carpet is available in a more limited colour palette. Some tips to help choose the right colour:

Neutral
Neutral colours such as beige and grey generally combine well with any colour scheme and form a timeless, neutral basis for any interior.

Levendige kleuren
Levendige kleuren zoals rood en blauw zijn sprekend en trekken de aandacht. Deze kleuren worden vooral gebruikt op kantoor of in kinderkamers. Een karpet is een goede optie om kleur aan te brengen zonder dat het te overheersend wordt.

Vibrant colours
Vibrant colours such as red and blue are striking and attract attention. These colours are mainly used in the office or in children's rooms. A bespoke rug is a good option to add colour without it becoming too overpowering.

Accent colour
Is there an accent colour? Then continue the line
Is there a piece of art in a certain colour or accent wall in the room? It is very nice if you choose a carpet in that colour. This way you add unity and harmony to the room.

Dark or light
Dark colours make a room seem smaller, while light colours on the floor make a room look larger and lighter.
