• Apologies if this isn't the correct thread. I need new carpets for half of a relatively small house. What the fuck am I looking for in a carpet? Doesn't need to be posh but stain resistant and hard wearing would be nice.
    Also, any suggestions for insulating/thermal curtains? It's for for a single glazed bay window which lets out a lot of heat. Again, doesn't need to be posh but not hideous and functional would be nice.

  • We went to carpetright and are still happy with the carpet. I'm sure there are better options.

    Three tips I'd say;

    1. Don't skimp on underlay. We did, big mistake.
    2. Think about insulating before carpet. We didn't, another mistake.
    3. Counter intuitively, if you're not getting matching carpet everywhere you can skimp with cheaper carpets in low traffic areas like bedrooms.
