In the battle of floor coverings, choosing between Broadloom or Area Rugs really depends on three things; the functionality of the room; your design objectives; and the condition of your floors. Broadloom: This is a great option if your floors are in poor condition or unfinished because it covers the floor completely. It's also beneficial for noise absorption and insulation and, since it’s wall-to-wall, there’s no shifting and no seams to worry about.



Area Rugs: These are great for mobility and alternating from room to room, and tend to be easier to maintain. Area rugs are also an inexpensive way to introduce colour, texture, and pattern into your space.



Combination of Both: Consider laying an area rug in a bold colour or pattern over a neutral, low-pile wall-to-wall carpet for a unique, one-of-a-kind look.

When deciding on which option you like best for covering your floors, whether you choose broadloom, area rugs, or a combination of both, there is no lovelier way to add warmth and texture to any room in your home. The choice is yours, and the possibilities are endless!!
