When buying a new carpet, there are various things to consider; and these considerations often depend on your situation.
When redecorating and recarpeting a room many people have a budget in mind. If the budget is something that important to you, then it’s important to consider the price of your desired carpet per square meter. There’s nothing worse than setting your heart on something only to realise that the price doesn’t fit within your budget.
The quality of a carpet is something else that often plays a huge part in choosing the right carpet for your room. If you’re buying a carpet for a room with heavy traffic (footfall), then you may want to look at a more robust and hardwearing carpet style such as a Twist Pile Carpet.
For some people, buying a carpet is all about the aesthetics. When this is the case, taking a close look at the carpet and ensuring it fits perfectly with your design ideas is crucial.

When buying carpets online, it’s crucial to know just how much carpet you’re going to need. The first thing you need to do is measure the room that you plan on carpeting.
If you have a room that’s square or rectangle, then working out how much carpet you need is easy. Simply measure the length and width of the room to work out how many square metres of carpet you need.
Example: 4m width x 5m length = 20m2

At Big Warehouse Sale we know that a certain style of carpet will function better in different rooms. Below is an overview of which carpet styles and colours we believe are best for which rooms.
Best carpet for bedroom
The bedroom is most commonly associated with peacefulness and tranquillity. For this reason, many people decide to decorate their bedroom in more subtle tones, meaning that beige and pastel coloured carpets are often bedroom favourites.
Textured or shag carpets are also popular in the bedroom as they feel soft and comforting underfoot.

Carpet is traditionally, and remains, one of the most popular types of flooring. The popularity of carpets as we know them arose from the 15th century where the term ‘carpet’ was used simply to refer to a ‘floor covering.’ Previous to this, the term ‘carpet’ was first used in the 13th century to describe ‘coarse cloth’. And by the 14th century ‘bedspread’ or ‘tablecloth’.
However, since then, carpets have changed a lot, and there is now a vast array of carpet types such as Berber Carpets, Flecked Carpets, Wool Carpets and even Stain Resistant Carpets.
