Types of Carpet Textures for Your Boston Area Home
Carpets vary widely in styles, colors, textures, and stain resistant features, so the type of carpet you choose has a big impact on your home's décor. Choosing textured carpet adds another dimension of visual interest to your dining room, living room, or bedroom.
Before choosing a carpet for your Boston area home, you should first be familiar with the number of carpet textures and types available. Read on for a description of different carpet textures and styles for your home:
- Cut pile carpets have cut loops that leave behind individual tufts of fiber. Cut pile carpets come in three types, including frieze, Saxony, and plush.
- Frieze carpets have fibers that are twisted, which creates a curly surface texture. Used in more casual surroundings, frieze carpets minimize footprints and vacuum marks.
- Saxony carpets have a slight twist in their fibers, but a more level look that frieze carpeting. Saxony can be used in more formal rooms or casual rooms.
- Plush carpets boast a velvety, smooth texture best used in formal rooms.
- Cut and loop pile carpets combine cut loops and full loops to create a sculpted, textural look. Cut and loop pile carpets offer medium durability and can hide dirt and footprints.
- Level loop pile carpets contain loops all of the same height, making this carpet extremely durable and a great choice for casual rooms. Berber carpets are a popular kind of level loop pile carpeting and are available in both wool and synthetic fibers.
- Multi-level loop pile carpets combine a few different loop heights to create a casual, interesting pattern.
