Choosing a new carpet can feel a bit overwhelming, especially when you want something that’s practical for busy family life, looks beautiful, and will last for years. At Teddington Carpet Centre, we know every home (and every room!) has its own personality and needs. Here’s our go-to guide for picking the perfect carpet for every space in your home, with a few of our favourite brands to inspire you.

Living Room: Where Style Meets Durability

The living room is the heart of the home, and your carpet needs to keep up with family movie nights, playdates, and the odd muddy paw print. Look for something soft underfoot but tough enough for high traffic.

Top picks:

Westex Carpets – Famous for their legendary durability, Westex’s wool blends are soft, springy, and naturally stain-resistant. Their Ultima Twist range is perfect for busy spaces and comes with added treatments for stain, moth, and allergy protection.
Cormar Carpet Co – Cormar offers a fantastic selection of family-friendly carpets, with easy-clean options that make life with kids and pets a breeze.

Tip: Choose a mid-tone colour or a subtle pattern to disguise everyday marks and crumbs between vacuuming.

Bedrooms: Softness & Comfort

Bedrooms are all about comfort. Here, you can indulge in a plush, luxurious feel—something that makes you want to wriggle your toes in the morning.

Top picks:

Axminster Carpets – Renowned for their traditional craftsmanship and sumptuous textures, Axminster carpets bring a touch of luxury to any bedroom.
Crucial Trading – If you love natural materials, Crucial Trading’s wool and natural fibre carpets offer both comfort and a stylish, modern look.

Tip: Lighter shades work well in bedrooms, creating a calm and airy atmosphere. If you’re feeling bold, try a statement colour or pattern for a cosy, boutique-hotel vibe.

Stairs & Hallways: Tough & Practical

Stairs and hallways are the busiest areas in most homes—they need a carpet that can handle constant foot traffic and still look great.

Top picks:

Westex Carpets – Their 2- and 3-fold yarns offer extra strength and resilience, making them ideal for stairs and landings.
Cormar Carpet Co – Their hardwearing ranges are designed to resist crushing and flattening, keeping your stairs looking sharp.

Tip: Consider a striped or patterned runner for stairs—it’s stylish, practical, and great at hiding marks.

Children’s Rooms & Playrooms: Easy to Clean & Fun

Kids’ rooms need practical, forgiving carpets that can withstand spills, play, and the odd art project gone rogue.

Top picks:

Cormar Carpet Co – Their easy-clean ranges are a parent’s best friend, with stain-resistant fibres and a huge choice of colours.
Crucial Trading – Their vibrant patterns and hardwearing natural materials are perfect for creative spaces.

Tip: Go for something with a bit of texture or a playful pattern to mask the inevitable messes.

Home Office: Calm & Professional

If you’re working from home, your office carpet should be comfortable but also help create a focused, professional space.

Top picks:

Axminster Carpets – Their elegant, classic designs bring a touch of sophistication to any workspace.
Crucial Trading – Their natural fibre options add warmth and style without being distracting.

Tip: Neutral tones help keep the space calm and uncluttered—ideal for productivity.
