Which is the Best Carpet Style for You?

Published On: January 20th, 2017

With so many different carpet and flooring options available, it can be difficult to select the most suitable carpet for your home. Whether you’re looking for a practical carpet that can withstand plenty of traffic or a soft touch that offers a luxurious feel underfoot, we have plenty for you to choose from.

Bold Inspiration

Bold coloured carpets aren’t necessarily everyone’s first choice – but they can be a fantastic option for multiple reasons. Add a real ‘wow factor’ to your room with a darker carpet shade for a sense of drama and sophistication.

Neutral Stripes

With plenty of neutral shades on offer, a natural stripe carpet can complement a number of areas of your home. The subtle blend of tones can work excellently with a plain version of the same carpet, to enhance the overall flow of your property.

Statement Stripes

From neutral stripes to much bolder lines, you can make an impressive statement in your home. By creating the illusion of additional space, the bold stripes can create a focal point. The perfect carpet choice for the hall, stairs and landing.

Clean Lines

Create a calming environment in any home with a tonal carpet from CMS Downs. Offering complimentary neutral tones, this style of carpet fits in well with many soft furnishings. Choose accent colours to work harmoniously with the clean lines.

Hardwearing

Perfect for areas that receive heavy footfall, a practical and hardwearing carpet with neutral twists can withstand plenty of traffic. If you have a busy family lifestyle, then a hardwearing carpet should be your number one choice, reducing general wear.

Monochrome

A monochrome carpet can create a timeless interior design. Combining warm greys with cool blues and a pop of accent colour is a fantastic way to enhance the appearance of any room. A great choice for your bedroom for a serene night’s sleep.

Natural Weave

For a classic, sophisticated and calming impression, natural weave carpets should be top of the list. Whether you choose wool, seagrass, jute or sisal, we can offer a wide selection that’s perfect for your desired room.

Soft Touch

Kick your shoes off and enjoy the soft touch of carpet with your bare feet. Using the latest trend in twists and saxonies our soft touch carpets not only look superb, but feel amazing as well. Using a new generation of super soft fibres a soft touch carpet is a superb choice.

Flooring for complete house

We have used Downs in the past and once again the salesperson was very helpful, answering all my queries. The fitter was equally helpful and able to give knowledgeable advice for a future product. I highly recommend Downs as a local business.

Carpet order

From the first enquiry to the fitting of the new carpet, we were warmly welcomed by friendly staff, which helped to make our choice and decisions easy. Carpet came much sooner that originally told but that was great as it meant we could get on with the other changes in the particular room. Many thanks for an excellent service.

Kev, Ash & Mark, our fitters, have been brilliant. Working at light-speed, they've been thorough, meticulous and professional. It's not every group of tradespeople that you'd be happy to recommend, especially in a predominantly female office environment but these three were respectful, thoughtful and good company to have around. We'd be glad to have them back and the quality of their workmanship is excellent. Thank you.

Had a superb experience when we went in recently looking for a carpet quote. Spoke to Simon and he was very helpful and accommodating, explaining how the prices worked and what the best underlay was for our particular situation. Would highly recommend if in the West Berkshire area.
