The Right Carpet for You

Tuesday, April 17th, 2012

Carpet is one of the major components in how your home looks and feels. By choosing the right carpet you not only can pull your whole house together, but you will be able to convey to any visitor who you are and how you want your home to feel.

When choosing new carpet for your home you have a lot to consider. The right carpet depends on the purpose you are trying to achieve and where the carpet will be laid. Carpet comes in numerous styles and colors, some of the main styles are Saxony, Berber, Freize, and Cut Pile.

You also have to consider the type of fiber you want to use. Carpet comes in various fibers that are always evolving. The main carpet fibers you will run into are Nylon, Acrylic, Wool, and Polypropylene. The fibers you choose will depend on traffic, the rooms to be installed, pets, and children.

Selecting the right carpet can take days or weeks. We recommend taking several samples home with you. Place them in various spots and lighting to make sure you enjoy it in every situation.

There is an Area Rug for That

Tuesday, April 10th, 2012

Do you feel like putting a personal touch in your room?

Area rugs have a ton of advantages and very few disadvantages. Besides the basic benefit of being easily changeable and cheaper than other floor coverings, it also allows you to put a splash of style into your room. Rugs come in a far greater color and design platform than normal carpets. They also hold less allergen which will help reduce irritations in the home.

Area rugs are a great way to break up a hard surface room. You will be able to cushion your feet and provide a barrier between you and the cold floor. Also, by introducing fabrics into an another wise hard space you will be able to reduce the sound level and echos being transmitted throughout the room.

Rugs can be made to fit any wear and any shape. Check out the pictures below and see how a rug can really become a focal point of your room and help tie it together.  Notice how the rug anchors the seating area and defines the room.

Smartstrand is a Smart Choice

Friday, February 17th, 2012

The biggest fiber development in the last century has been the creation of Mohawk’s Smartstrand fiber.  This fiber features extreme stain resistance and incredible softness to give the consumer a carpet that meets their two most requested criteria. 

SmartStrand is constructed of DuPont Sorona, a corn-based polymer that is a renewable source, making it good for Earth and your home. Many carpets are crafted of petroleum-based materials, Smartstrand is 37 percent sourced from rapidly renewable resources.

A great feature is the stain resistance the company has “woven right into the DNA of the carpet.” That means most spills can be cleaned up with simple water and more difficult messes requiring only mild dish washing soap.

Right now Karastan has 12 styles of carpet made with Smartstrand on sale through the end of the month.  Almost every style type is featured in these 12 products so now is the perfect time to come in and both see and feel the difference in this fiber! You should also start preparing now for Karastans annual spring sale April 18th to the end of May by coming in and getting your feet on this amazing product.
