Carpet flooring for the rooms where comfort counts

Hard floors downstairs, soft carpet upstairs is how many Castleford homes end up. We'll help you choose the carpet half of that plan.

Where carpet earns its place

Warm floors for bedrooms, stairs and snugs

Carpet is still the best choice for rooms where you want warmth, comfort and quiet. Bedrooms and landings feel softer, and carpet on the stairs is gentler on knees and quieter for the rest of the house.

If you're putting hard flooring in downstairs, a carpet that picks up a tone from the laminate or LVT helps the house feel joined-up from the front door to the top of the stairs.

Patterned & wool-mix

About carpet

Should my landing carpet match the laminate in my hall?

It doesn't need to match exactly, but picking a carpet that shares a tone with the hard floor — warm with warm, cool with cool — makes the house feel connected. It's much easier to judge with both samples in front of you.

How much does underlay matter?

A lot. Good underlay improves comfort, warmth and sound insulation, and can extend the life of a carpet by up to 50%.

What's the most popular carpet style?

Twist pile. The yarn is tightly twisted and cut, which makes it hard-wearing and good at hiding footprints.
