Wool Carpets Add A Luxurious Touch
Wool carpets should have gone out of fashion years ago, but they are as popular as ever. Wool carpeting has a few disadvantages, but most of these are overcome by opting for a modern synthetic fibre carpet and mostly employing wool rugs and over-carpets in the appropriate places. Wool rugs remain popular, mainly due to their absurdly satisfying aesthetic properties.
Wool carpets offer a lush and classy walking surface that is soft to the touch and underfoot. Wool's rich and full natural finish is impossible to duplicate with any of the modern synthetic fibre carpets and this has ensured that many people are willing to put up with the disadvantages. One of the disadvantages is that it does not quite offer the superior resistance to wear that modern carpets do. Nor is a wool rug as resistant against moisture or dirt. However, wool carpeting cleans very well and ages gracefully, so it can remain beautiful for many years if properly cared for. Wool also offers superior insulation properties and can make a room feel appreciably warmer in winter.
Wool rugs can be very effectively employed to add spice to the décor of your home. They are available in a large variety of sizes, colours, patterns and shapes and add a classy ambience to any room. Place them on top of existing carpeting to change the feel of a room and to protect the underlying carpeting. They can be used as focal points to draw attention to certain pieces of furniture or to offer an attractive backdrop for a glass coffee table. Some people even hang wool rugs on their walls.
While wool carpets are not commonplace anymore, wool rugs are alive and well and Top Carpets can offer you many variants to perfectly complement your style. Come home to the plush luxury of wool. Contact us today.
