Choosing the Right Carpet: Color, Texture, and Pattern Guide

Lyndsay BaratsUncategorized

Whether you’re redecorating a space or setting up a new home, selecting the perfect carpet can make all the difference. Carpets add warmth, comfort, and style. Langhorne Carpets, with its rich history and unmatched craftsmanship, offers a plethora of choices. Let’s dive deep into the factors to consider when choosing a carpet and why Langhorne stands out in this domain.

1. Color:

The color of your carpet sets the tone and ambiance of a room, and it’s crucial to choose one that resonates with the desired mood.

  • Neutral Tones: Beige, gray, and light browns are versatile and can seamlessly fit into almost any décor theme. They can make small spaces appear more expansive and allow for more flexibility in changing room aesthetics without replacing the carpet.
  • Dark Shades: While they can make a room feel cozier and are excellent for high-traffic areas due to their ability to mask stains, dark shades can make a room feel smaller.
  • Vibrant Hues: Colors like blue or green can make a bold statement and bring life to a neutral-themed room. For instance, Langhorne’s white and blue broadloom carpet is perfect for adding a splash of sophistication and calmness.

2. Texture:

The texture is an integral aspect, influencing both the feel underfoot and the visual aesthetics.

  • Plush Cut Pile: Ideal for bedrooms or formal living rooms, plush carpets offer a luxurious, velvety feel.
  • Berber Loop: Best suited for high-traffic areas, this type offers durability with its looped design.
  • Textured Cut Pile: It provides a trackless appearance, which is excellent for high-traffic zones of your home.

Langhorne’s commitment to using the finest wool from Georgia in the US, Canada, and New Zealand/Aotearoa ensures that the carpet’s texture remains unparalleled in softness, resilience, and durability.

3. Pattern:

Patterns can add depth, dimension, and character to a room.

  • Classic: Timeless and sophisticated, classic patterns often lean towards floral or oriental designs. Many of Langhorne’s traditional designs have roots tracing back to 18th-century Europe, adding a touch of history to your space.
  • Modern: Geometric patterns or abstract designs can rejuvenate a room and make it feel contemporary.
  • Custom Patterns: Langhorne shines when it comes to custom designs. Whether it’s a historic reproduction or a family crest, their craftsmanship ensures every design need is met impeccably.

4. Special Considerations:

  • Size & Width: Depending on your space, the width of the carpet can play a pivotal role. Langhorne’s broadloom carpets, for instance, come in 12-foot widths, perfect for wall-to-wall applications. However, unique spaces might benefit from narrow loom options, allowing for customization in width.
  • Custom Designs: Your carpet can be a canvas to portray personal style. Langhorne encourages its customers to bring in ideas, be it old photographs, artwork, or even fabric swatches, to ensure the final product resonates with personal tastes and requirements.
  • Eco-Friendliness: Sustainability is no longer just a trend; it’s a necessity. Langhorne carpets have always been “green,” offering products that are 100% natural, renewable, and biodegradable.
