THAT SINKING FEELING

Deep-pile carpets are a great way to add extra comfort and keep a toasty home. As David Cormack, Marketing Director at Cormar Carpets shares, ‘Deep-pile carpets provide a luxurious and cosy h ome environment. Providing both a plush appearance and texture, deep-pile carpets are ideal for bedrooms and lounges, where you want to create a soft cocooning haven. However, because they are classified as heavyweight carpets they can also be used in heavy footfall areas such as stairs and corridors.’ A Saxony pile is a good option and it gives a very dense appearance. Another option that’s sustainable and warm is wool fibre. The neutral nature of wool makes it perfect for mixing and matching to your décor. To avoid damage, a wool blend with the same look and feel such as wool acrylic could be worth looking into.
