Carpeting

Carpets can add real dimension to a room. They can create warmth, add interest to a room, hide a worn-out floor and provide insulation, helping you to reduce heating costs in your home.

The first job is to select the right carpet for your home. There are so many types of carpets including wall-to-wall, area rugs, scatter rugs, carpet squares and more. Each carpet has its own unique qualities. If you're not sure what to choose, consult our carpet directory for a list of the most popular manufacturers.

You should also consider the different fibers that make up a rug; some fibers are more approprite for certain areas of your home than others.

Once you have purchased your carpet, learn how to lay it. Assemble the right tools for the job and diy - it's easier than you think!
