niture options. This means you
can change furniture out and still
keep the existing carpeting, which
complements any new pieces. Also,
if there’s a chance you might sell
your home in the near future, buy-
ers tend to look for a neutral color
scheme they can make their own.
DON’T skimp on padding to save
a few dollars on the carpet instal-
lation. The carpeting needs a solid
foundation to last and look its best.
Inadequate padding can lead to
extra and noticeable wear and tear.
Invest in a good foundation for the
carpeting, like fi rm, dense padding
in high-traffi c areas.
DO become knowledgeable about
different carpet styles, such as
frieze, Berber, Saxony, textured,
and more. This will help ensure
you make the most educated deci-
sion.

gate different pricing and specials.
Also, consider the professionalism
and expertise of the staff respon-
sible for carpet installation. High-
cost carpet may not look very good
if it isn’t installed correctly.
DO stain-protect rugs and carpet-
ing, which can help repel stains
that would otherwise become
permanent and can prolong the
longevity of the fl ooring.
DON’T forget to vacuum carpets
frequently to prevent ground-in dirt
and debris.
DO pick textured carpets to con-
ceal footprints and vacuum track
marks.

ferent fl ooring choices in others.
Upon choosing carpet, it is impor-
tant that homeowners follow some
guidelines to prolong a carpet’s
longevity and maintain its style.
The following are some common
carpeting dos and don’ts.
DO consider the room’s purpose
and foot traffi c before shopping
for carpeting. Make a list of the
attributes desired (e.g., sound-
proofi ng, easy care, high pile) and
present these to the salesperson so
he or she can help you make the
best choice.
DON’T rush into fl ooring choices.
Unlike paint colors, fl ooring mate-
rials are more permanent choices
that are only updated every several
years or more. Weigh all of your
options before diving in.
DO consider conservative colors
and styles. Neutral hues and pat-
terns will blend better with fur-

Carpets provide both practical and
aesthetic appeal inside a home. In
winter, carpets help keep homes
warm, and the right color carpet
can add to design schemes.
While rugs may have originated
in the Far East, North America
also has some rich carpet history.
According to The Carpet and Rug
Institute, the United States carpet
industry began in 1791 when the
fi rst woven carpet mill opened in
Philadelphia. Others soon fol-
lowed suit. Tufted carpets and
machine-powered manufacturing
helped churn out yards upon yards
of carpeting, making it a popular,
affordable and common addition to
homes, especially after the post-
World War II housing boom.
Carpeting remains a go-to fl ooring
material in modern homes. In fact,
many homes offer a blend of both
