While carpeting is available in a wide range of materials and colors, it can be broadly divided into two primary categories.
High-pile carpeting
A “high pile” carpet has tall and loose fibers, which can be very comforting in a home.
Low-pile carpeting
Low-pile carpeting has shorter carpet fibers and tighter loops. This lower pile style has a modern, sleek appearance that many customers want.
Carpet is available in a wide range of materials to suit different applications and design preferences. Carpet materials are usually categorized as synthetic or natural.

Most carpets last 5-15 years, although the average lifespan of carpet varies based on several factors, including:
Hypoallergenic carpet is designed to reduce the presence of allergens in your home, protecting those with respiratory conditions like asthma or allergies. It uses materials like nylon and polyester that are resistant to mold, mildew, and dust.
Carpeting is sold per square foot, typically from $1 to $6. Carpet padding is usually sold separately and may cost between $0.50 and $2 per square foot. During your in-home consultation, your Design Associate will provide a detailed estimate based on your choice of carpet, the square footage required, and carpet removal and installation costs, if applicable. It’s all a part of our customer-oriented process!
Carpet made of materials with reduced volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are commonly found in glues, fabrics, and other manufactured materials, are considered low VOC. Low VOC carpeting reduces off-gassing or the emission of chemicals. Many hypoallergenic carpets are also low VOC.
