There are a variety of luxury carpets available to suit your needs, with a choice of styles, materials and colours. For the ultimate in style and opulence beneath your feet, you can’t beat a gorgeous, super soft carpet.
Which room is best for a luxury carpet?
The best room to have a luxury carpet in will depend entirely on your household. They will need a bit more maintenance to keep that beautiful look and feel, so you may want to have them in the rooms with the least footfall and chance of spills.
If you have small children, it is probably best to have a hard-wearing carpet in their bedroom and the living room, and to have the luxury option in your own bedroom. This will make it easier to maintain the carpet, as you won’t have to worry so much about stains and accidents.
Pets are something else to consider, as you don’t claws snagging in the carpet and you may well want to keep the carpet free from hair and dirt.
Often the bedroom is the best choice, so you can have that wonderful sense of indulgence when you put your bare feet on a luxury carpet first thing in the morning. However, if you like to treat yourself and cost is not a concern, it’s a gorgeous addition to any room.

Which carpet styles are luxury?
Usually, woven carpets (as opposed to tufted – these are the two styles of manufacturing) are luxury as more time and care is put into making them.

The pile (or construction) of luxury carpets is cut; this refers to the surface of the carpet, the loops of the fibre which are attached to the backing are cut at a length and/or angle. Looped, or uncut, gives a much more robust carpet which is ideal for high traffic areas and commercial usage. When the loop is cut it leaves an upright pile that is softer and denser, therefore more luxurious.
The most popular styles in opulent carpets are velvet and Saxony. Velvet (also known as plush) pile, has a smooth appearance almost like suede and is incredibly soft to the touch. Saxony is another favoured luxury choice as it has a deep and lavish pile, which is the ultimate in comfort underfoot. For a textured finish, twist pile is ideal as the cut loops are twisted and lie in different directions

Which material is the most luxurious?
Wool will always be the leader in the luxury market, as this natural fibre comes with so many benefits. Soft to the touch and resilient, it has excellent appearance retention and does not easily flatten. It is a natural insulator so keeps the warmth in, is naturally flame retardant and even improves your indoor air quality by absorbing common pollutants.
It is environmentally friendly as well, due to it’s sustainable and biodegradable qualities. This indulgent, strong and tough fibre is the ultimate in luxury for carpets.
Many carpet manufactures offer a mix of wool with a man-made fibre, to give added benefits. Nylon is often used due to its softness, durability and resilience. It is not prone to flattening, is resistant to wear and mold and holds colour very well.
