2. Most popular types of carpet in 2011
Nowadays, carpet is found in almost every
household. It might be all around the
house or across certain rooms in the
house like the living room, bedroom etc.
Many home owners prefer the carpet in
comparison to other more expensive
flooring options like marble tiles, stone
and wood. The type, color and texture of
the carpet are very important as it affects
the overall appearance of the room. So,
one should choose a carpet very carefully.
Today there are many types of carpets
available in the market which differs in
material and quality. So if we look at the

heat after being softened. Saxony carpets provide an excellent finish to the overall look of the
room but fails miserably in hiding foot patches and dust marks. So, regular maintenance is
required.
Saxony carpets also come in a textured form, which is known as Textured Saxony. These are
considered an excellent choice for homes and offices. They are considered very durable as they

fibers in the carpet are curled in shape which is why they are extremely efficient in hiding patches,
marks and spills. These carpets come in a wide variety of colors and designs.
