Choosing the Right Carpet Before Moving Into Your New Build Home
Moving into a new build home is exciting, but one decision that can sometimes get left until the last minute is the flooring. Choosing your carpet before moving in can make the whole process much easier. Your flooring can be professionally installed while the property is empty, there is no furniture to move around and you can walk into a home that already feels finished.
At Bay Carpets, we regularly supply and install flooring for new build homes and developments across Kent, and this recent project is a great example.
For this property, we supplied and professionally installed Cormar Sensations carpet throughout the home. Cormar Sensations is a carpet we regularly recommend for homeowners looking for something that feels luxurious underfoot while still being suitable for everyday family life. (although we wouldn’t recommend it for the stairs or any high traffic areas)
One of the biggest things we talk about with customers is choosing a carpet based on how the room is actually going to be used rather than simply choosing the colour they like. A bedroom, for example, might suit a softer and more luxurious carpet, while stairs, landings and other busy areas need something capable of handling much more regular foot traffic. When you are carpeting a complete new build home, getting that balance right is important.
Choosing the Right Colour for a New Build
New build homes often have fairly neutral interiors when they’re first completed, which gives you plenty of freedom when choosing your flooring.
Neutral carpet colours remain extremely popular because they work with almost any interior style and give you flexibility to change furniture, paint colours and accessories in the future without needing to change the flooring. For this particular property, the carpet worked brilliantly alongside the clean, modern interior. We then added something a little different to the staircase we created a Feature With a Carpet Stair Runner.
Rather than installing the carpet traditionally across the full width of the staircase, this property was finished with a bespoke carpet stair runner with black edging. The runner was complemented by new black accessories, creating a really smart contrast against the lighter carpet. It’s a relatively simple detail, but it completely changes the staircase and turns it into much more of a feature within the home.
We are seeing more homeowners across Kent considering stair runners when choosing new carpet, particularly in modern properties where customers want to add a little more character.
Think About Your Flooring Before Moving Day
If you’re buying a new build property, we’d always recommend thinking about your flooring as early as possible. Having the carpet and flooring installed before furniture arrives makes the process considerably easier. It also means you can choose flooring properly rather than rushing the decision because your moving date is approaching. It is also worth thinking about the whole property rather than each room individually.
Carpet may be perfect for your bedrooms, stairs and landing, while LVT, vinyl, laminate or wood flooring may make more sense through kitchens, hallways and open plan living spaces. There isn’t one flooring product that’s right for every room. Our job at Bay Carpets is to help you work out what will actually suit your home, lifestyle and
budget.
