Purple Carpet

Instilling Elegance with a Purple Carpet

A purple carpet is not just a flooring choice; it's a statement of style and sophistication. Whether you're looking to create a bold focal point or add a subtle touch of luxury, our range of purple carpets offers something for every taste. 

Where to Install a Purple Carpet In Your Home

When considering where to install a purple carpet in your home, think about spaces where you want to make a bold and stylish statement. 

Living rooms and dining areas are ideal for a rich purple carpet, creating an inviting and luxurious atmosphere that encourages relaxation and conversation. Bedrooms can also benefit from the warmth and depth that a purple carpet provides, adding a touch of royal elegance to your personal retreat. 

For those looking to make a striking first impression, consider a purple carpet in your hallway or entryway, setting the tone for the rest of your home with a unique and sophisticated flair. 

Perfect Purple Carpet Color Pairings

Selecting the right color pairings for your purple carpet is key to achieving a harmonious and visually appealing space. 

Purple carpets can be paired beautifully with neutral tones like soft grays, beiges, and whites, which allow the richness of the purple to stand out without overwhelming the room. For a more dramatic design, deep purples can be combined with metallic accents like gold or silver, adding a touch of luxury and sophistication. 

If you’re looking to create a vibrant and energetic environment, consider pairing your purple carpet with complementary colors like yellows or greens, which can create a striking contrast and add depth to your space. And for a more bold and eclectic look, you can keep everything bright and pair your purple carpet with pink or blue decor. 

If possible, always request samples to decide whether a particular carpet will work best in certain areas of your home. 

Understanding Pile Thickness

Along with getting clear on how many feet of carpet you will need, you also want to consider pile thickness.

The pile refers to the height of the carpet fibers, and it plays a significant role in determining the carpet's texture, comfort, and durability. A thicker pile, often found in plush or shag carpets, provides a luxurious, cushioned feel underfoot, making it ideal for bedrooms or living areas where comfort is paramount. 

However, thicker pile carpets can be more challenging to clean and maintain and may show footprints or vacuum lines. On the other hand, a shorter pile, such as in Berber or low-pile carpets, offers a more durable and easy-to-clean option, perfect for high-traffic areas like hallways or offices. 

Getting Clear on Carpet Specifications

Before you order a purple carpet for your home, here's how to calculate how much you will need to purchase:

• Measure the Room Dimensions: Start by measuring the length and width of the room in feet. If the room has an irregular shape, break it down into smaller, more manageable sections (rectangles or squares) and measure each section individually to get the sizes you need. 
• Calculate the Area: Multiply the length by the width of each section to get the square footage. For irregularly shaped rooms, sum the square footage of all the sections to get the total area. For example, if a room is 10 feet by 15 feet, the area would be 150 square feet.
• Consider Extra Carpet for Seams and Waste: Add about 10-20% extra to your total square footage to account for any mistakes, seams, and waste. This is especially important if the room has many corners, angles, or if you need to match patterns in the carpet.
• Account for Stairs or Odd Spaces: If your project includes stairs or unusually shaped spaces, measure these separately and add their square footage to your total. Stairs typically require additional carpet to be ordered due to their three-dimensional shape.
