Consider the location you intend to place the carpet. The amount of foot traffic the area receives will help you decide which kind of carpeting is best and will last the longest under normal daily traffic. Carpeting placed on stairs, in doorways, living rooms and hallways will receive a lot of traffic, while carpets in bedrooms will typically not be subjected to as much traffic. High traffic areas need stronger carpets in order to withstand constant use. If you intend to use one type of carpet throughout your residence, consider a high-traffic resistant carpet type designed to cater to high traffic zones.

Research the different types and piles of carpeting. Obtain carpet samples of the carpet types that are durable enough for your spaces. With the carpeting samples, you will be able to get a better idea of the carpet textures. Remember, softer carpet types are less durable and the tighter the fibers and construction of the carpet is, the more durable and traffic and wear resistant the carpet will be.

Consider the price of the carpet based on construction type as well as construction materials. Do not forget to consider the durability at this time as well. It is always better to spend extra money on carpet types that will last longer, than to spend the minimal amount and then have to replace the carpet within just a couple of years. If keeping a budget is important, look for the best quality you can get for the money you are able to spend; again, consult a local professional to get recommendations and advice.

Decide on the color or design you want from the carpet. This decision should come last, after all other factors are considered. After all, the durability, quality, and price of a carpet type are more important than looks; you can find carpet types in all different colors and patterns, regardless of the materials and strength.
