What factors should I consider for flooring in high-traffic areas?

For high-traffic areas, consider durability, budget, the specific type of traffic (like pets or heavy furniture), and aesthetic appeal. Tiles are an excellent choice for their strength, resistance to wear, ease of cleaning, and visual appeal. Read more about flooring for high-traffic areas.

What carpet colour should I choose if I have pets or a busy household?

In homes with pets or high foot traffic, choosing the right carpet colour is essential to maintain its appearance. Dark colours can show lint and dust, while very light colours might display dirt and stains. Opt for mid-tones or patterned carpets that can effectively mask dirt and pet hair. These colours offer a practical balance, maintaining the carpet's look while being functional for busy homes. Discover more on our Carpet Selection Page.

Should I consider carpet colour fading over time

Yes, carpet colours can fade over time due to exposure to sunlight and regular wear. When choosing a carpet colour, it's wise to anticipate this natural fading. Opting for a slightly darker or brighter shade than your initial choice can be a good strategy to compensate for future fading. This consideration ensures that your carpet maintains its desired look for a longer period. Learn more about maintaining carpet colours on our Carpet Care Tips page.
