Four Reasons You Should Rug Shop With A Carpet Dealer

Buying rugs can be more difficult than buying overall flooring for a home. Most homeowners tend to go with whatever flooring the builder has put in place or the floors that will give you the highest resale value. Finding an area rug that meets your exact specifications is much more difficult. If you are looking for the perfect rug, here are four reasons why you should work with a carpet dealer

More choices and less influence

If you have an interior designer, chances are they will suggest a rug that that will fit your decor from a brand that they work with. Though this can help you find a rug, it puts too many parameters on the rugs that you are offered. By going to a carpet dealer, you can look through hundreds of rug patterns, materials, and textures. Having more options means that you can find something that matches your home perfectly and that there will be enough of it to purchase for as many rooms as you like. 

Rugs can be cut to size

When you purchase an area rug by itself, you are typically bound to the sizes that the supplier has available. If you have a room that is larger or smaller than normal or if you have a room that does not have a rectangular or square shape, you may find yourself out of luck with traditional rug suppliers. Purchasing carpet from a carpet dealer and having it cut down to size means that you get the perfect customized rug with no hassle. 

You can over purchase and keep replacements

Depending on where you are using your area rug, such as an office with office chair wheels that will wear down the rug, you may need to repurchase at some point. When you repurchase, you have to hope that the rug is available and that the design has remained consistent. In order to avoid doing this, you can purchase a roll of the particular rug. This way, if you move or a rug is accidentally destroyed, you will have the ability to replace it from the exact same roll. 

Cheaper cost when compared to pre-made rug stores

Carpet dealers, rather than rug sales companies, can often offer you a lower cost per square foot. By cutting out the extra step and the middle man, you can receive a discounted rate on the carpet that you want to purchase. Ask the carpet dealer what type of price they offer per foot to determine the total cost of purchasing the carpet and having it cut to convert to the perfect rug. 

About Me
Choosing Better Flooring

After we started renovating our home, I realized that we needed to choose flooring that would be a little more kid-friendly. We had been using cream-colored carpet, but it didn't stand up well against the children at all. Within no time, the carpet was gray, dingy, and stained from foot traffic. To ward off problems in the future, we opted for a dark-colored hardwood flooring that already looked distressed. After it was installed, we were amazed with how incredible it looked. This blog is for anyone out there who has children and is thinking about buying new flooring for their home.
