What Are the Different Types of Carpet?
The pile styles are the fibers that are twisted and can be cut, looped, or cut and looped. You also want to choose the color of your carpet to either compliment your existing home décor, brighten up a room, or to possibly hide stains and pet fur. The types of fibers also impact how your carpet will function. Synthetic fibers are great for durability, but a natural fiber like wool has many great properties that can make a positive impact in your home.

Level loop carpet has a dense, low profile, which makes it great for heavily-trafficked areas. |
Patterned carpet is made of loops and cut fibers of varying heights, resulting in unique patterns.
|
Textured carpet has longer fibers resulting in a casual look that's great for home settings. |
Frieze carpet has long, twisted yarns, and these create dimension and sensation underfoot. |
Plush, or velvet, carpet has a more formal appearance because of its thick construction. |
