How To Make The Best Selection For Stairs Carpets?
If you are remodeling the staircase in your house, you should consider following these suggestions to help you choose the right carpet type for long-lasting shelf life, aesthetic appeal, and safety.
- Select a carpet color that hides stains and dirt
You might share your love for those earthy tones such as creams and ivories. However, the light carpeting is likely to appear dirty if there is a lot of foot traffic. Choosing deeper neutrals like taupe and coffee would be best to strike a balance.
Some manufacturers offer heathered shades and delicate combinations of complementary colors that conceal dirt easier than carpets that are in monochromatic hues.
- Use thin and firm carpet padding.
The thinner cushion, made of foam, rubber, wool, felt, and synthetic material, will not feel springy. Instead, it will hold up better and offer a more stable surface. Staircase carpets should be no thicker than 3/8 inch and have a density of 8 pounds. Selecting a high-quality pad will help your carpet last longer.
