Floors are big purchases. Before you commit to a patterned carpet, make sure you see that carpet in a larger space. You can find room scenes online or directly on the sample board itself.
It's important to look at room scenes of floors. I've said this before about selecting hardwood and luxury vinyl plank. While they should not be used to evaluate the color of a product, room scenes are indispensable for evaluating the character, color variation and patterns in a hard surface floor.
Well, what I said about wood and luxury vinyl plank is true for carpet, as well. If you're looking at a patterned carpet, chances are you can lift that sample up off the board and view a room scene of the product.
Be sure to look for the room scene pictures when you're shopping for carpet. If you have any questions about carpet selection, give us a call at 401-214-0285 or visit our showroom. We serve customers throughout Rhode Island and southeastern New England, including Newport, Middletown, Jamestown, Portsmouth, Bristol and more.
