Common mistakes include not matching carpet type to lifestyle (pets, children, heavy use), underestimating underlay quality, neglecting accurate measuring and planning for joins, choosing colours that show soil or don’t suit light levels, and skipping tactile testing of samples. Also allow for maintenance requirements and plan stair transitions carefully. For best results, view samples in your light, check underlay and installation options, and request a current quote rather than assuming price or lead time. BCC suggests visiting the Taren Point showroom to compare samples and confirm measurements, availability and pricing (Unit 3/46 Bay Rd, Taren Point; 02 9526 6421).
