Consider these carpeting styles today


Berber has changed a lot over the years, especially in appearance. Once a light color with dark flecks, you can now find this floor covering in extensive colors and fibers, but it is usually known for its looped pile cut.

Loop pile means that once the fibers are sewn through the carpet backing, they are not sheared, as many are, leaving a loop that creates terrific texture. That texture is also known for better stain protection, so it's an excellent choice for busy, active homes.

Shag carpet is an icon of the sixties and seventies, known for its long, unkempt fibers and outrageous colors. These days it's an excellent choice for many areas that see low to moderate traffic, creating an outstanding décor element.
