I love the colour you picked, it would go well in all your rooms. You have a love of rugs so I wouldn't be surprised if you covered the carpet with one in the end. Happy hunting :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989178663623224099.post-88750080733861534082008-04-18T19:08:00.000+10:002008-04-18T19:08:00.000+10:00OK, so I just read your post and thought 'I'm not ...OK, so I just read your post and thought 'I'm not alone!' I wanted medium brown carpet also - and thats all I cared about - the feel or type of carpet did not concern me as much. They were all too grey, too murky, too yellow or too purple. I FINALLY found one that was perfect from Harvey Norman. It had to wear quite well (its laid on our stairs, and down the hallway, as well as in the bedrooms), and not be wool, as my husband is asthmatic. We ended up with quite a long pile, that is very cushy, with a SUPER thick underlay (it was hilarious the first time our puppy walked on it. We had lived with concrete floors for 4 years, and she couldn't figure out what it was - she looked like the was walking on the moon! LOL!). I love how soft it is, and don't think it matters that you can see a few footprints in it - better that then seeing dirt or wear. I also honestly think that the woven weave/textured carpets that you are looking at show the wear MORE, because the pile doesn't move about, so it just wears down in the same spot! JMO though. The colour you are looking at is pretty light, but if it washes well, I don't think that is an issue. We went with a dark colour to 'ground' the place a bit. I still love our carpet, every single time I look at it...and its been in about 6 months! HTH!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
