Carpeting your floors – Should you do it? - Black & Decker, India

Some of us who have lived abroad might have experienced the luxury of fully carpeted floors. This makes a lot of sense especially in colder countries as it makes it much easier to move around the house. Does carpeting make sense in India though? Let’s take a quick look:

Pros:

·         It makes it much more comfortable to walk around especially in colder climates when the floor gets really cold.

·         You can change the colour of your floor depending on your décor.

·         A well-chosen carpet can give a rich and luxurious appearance.

·         It keeps the floor protected from wear and tear.

·         It may be cheaper to replace the carpet than to change your entire flooring.

·        Carpets can be very easy to clean with a good vacuum cleaner (Check out Black & Decker’s range here)

Cons:

·         Stains can be tough to clean, so you have to be extra careful to try to not drop anything.

·         Carpets can gather more dust, and it may not be the right choice when you have people or children with allergies.

·         They can be tough to clean if you have a lot of furniture.

·         The expertise of wall-to-wall carpeting may not yet be easily available locally.

A mid-way solution would be to go for a large carpet in your living areas and bedrooms, but avoid wall-to-wall if you are not convinced about it.
