My Favourite Kind of Carpet: Carpet Tiles

Carpet doesn’t last forever especially if the quality isn’t very good to begin with. Cleaning it may help to keep it clean and last a little longer, but sooner or later, you will have no choice but to buy a new one. It’s for your own good because carpets tend to collect dirt and dust no matter how many times you cleaned it. You might be surprise with what you may find underneath it! It’s like another world down there especially if your carpet has been around for ages.

Good carpet adds warmth and comfort to a room. But, perhaps the carpet in the living room has had food spills, animal stains, and dirt tracked in. Carpet cleaning, whether through professional carpet cleaners or not, may help to some degree. Do keep in mind though, the sooner you get those stain remove, the better. Wouldn’t want it to stick. But, perhaps the carpet is done for, no longer able to be cleaned, but just needs to be replaced.

If you’re in the market for replacing your carpet, consider all options and designs out there. From time to time, there’ll be gorgeous new designs available. One of my favorite though I’m not really sure if it’s new or not is the carpet tile. Carpet tiles is carpeting that is in the form of squares similar to tiling. You may use different colors in order to create a unique pattern and add a level of style to your room. It’s simple and personally I think it makes a room look larger.

Carpet tiles are easy to remove, clean and replace individually. If a carpet tile wears out or sustains a stain that cannot be cleaned, the individual tile can be removed and replaced without having to replace the entire carpeted surface.

Carpet tiles are also easier to maneuver than traditional rolls of carpet. Carpet tile squares are packaged in boxes requiring less floor space for storage and standard containers for transport. Additionally, carpet tiles can be moved and loaded into elevators or even carried up stairwells without special height or accessibility requirements.

All and all, I would say that whoever invented the carpet tiles is a genius. I love it not only because it's convenient, also because I could experiment and go crazy if I want with bunch of colors and crate my own carpet creation!
