Bedrooms, Hallways & Living Areas What is a good carpet for a bedroom area? Show some ideas.

Bedroom carpet ideas: aim for warmth, softness and quiet underfoot. Wool or wool‑blend loop‑pile and textured cut‑pile carpets are common choices because they feel comfortable and wear well. Neutral tones such as cream, taupe or soft grey are versatile, while a gentle blue or sage can create a restful vibe. For bedrooms, you may prefer a shorter, denser pile for durability and easier cleaning, with a comfortable underlay to boost warmth and sound insulatio…

Loop Pile & Textured Carpets What loop pile carpets do you sell? Show some options.

Loop‑pile carpets offer durable, textured surfaces that suit busy areas and can present a subtle patterned look without pronounced pile height. Options range from tight, low-loop constructions that disguise wear and footprints to looser, more textured loops that emphasise surface pattern and depth. Consider durability, maintenance and the intended room when choosing loop pile: tighter loops generally wear well in high-traffic areas, while more textured loo…

Pet, Family & Heavy-Traffic Carpets What's the best car I can get for a run for a rumpus room with children and pets?

For a rumpus room used by children and pets, durability and stain resistance are key. A woven carpet in solution-dyed nylon is a common practical choice, as the colour is locked in and spills are easier to clean. Wide formats (where available) can reduce joins in large spaces. Trade-offs include softness and feel: nylon tends to be very durable but may not feel as warm as wool in every texture. For current options and availability, please contact the Taren…

Carpet Buying Advice, Pricing & Quotes Why do your carpets cost more than the other stores in the shire?

BCC pricing reflects a range of factors that influence finished cost: fibre type and quality, pile construction and density, manufacturing method (woven or tufted), complexity of design, materials sourcing and any sustainability attributes. Installation requirements, room complexity and required underlay can also affect the total. Some carpet ranges are available in wider formats, which can reduce joins; current widths vary by product and should be confirm…

Woven Wool, Axminster & Wilton Carpets What is a wilton carpet?

A Wilton carpet is a high‑quality woven carpet produced on a jacquard loom that creates patterned or textured designs as part of the weave. Wilton constructions are typically dense and robust, often using wool or wool blend yarns that offer a soft hand, good insulation and a luxurious appearance. They suit living rooms, bedrooms and hospitality situations where a more formal or durable woven look is preferred. For current Wilton options, samples and availa…

Carpet Colours & Interior Styling Show me some blue carpets.

BCC stocks a variety of blue tones across different carpet constructions, from textured loop and woven styles to plusher piles; the exact shade, fibre content and finish vary by product. Choice of blue should consider room size, lighting and the desired mood — cooler blues can feel more formal, while warmer blues create a cosier atmosphere. Some carpet ranges are available in wider formats, which can reduce joins; current widths vary by product and should …

Carpet Types, Brands & Product Ranges Are plush pile carpets good wearing?

Plush pile carpets offer a soft, luxurious feel but wear performance depends on traffic levels, fibre quality and maintenance. In high‑traffic areas they may show pile direction and flattening sooner than looped or tightly woven constructions; higher density and durable fibre types can improve longevity. Care prolongs life: vacuum regularly, blot spills promptly with a clean white cloth and avoid rubbing, and follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions…

Wide Carpets, Rugs & Custom Sizes Do you have bright coloured plush pile carpets to make rugs?

Bright, plush-pile carpets are often suitable for cutting and finishing as bespoke rugs because their dense, soft texture takes dyes and edges well. BCC can discuss plush pile options, appropriate rug construction and finishing methods to match a room or theme. Some carpet ranges are available in wider formats, which can reduce joins; current widths vary by product and should be confirmed. Current colours, stock and exact construction options change over t…

Carpet Colours & Interior Styling which of your carpets goes well with linen fabrics

Carpets that pair well with linen fabrics typically feature soft neutrals and natural textures that complement the calm, light look of linen. Good options include: - Woven wool carpets in cream, beige or soft grey for a quiet backdrop. - Textured loop-pile carpets in neutral, earthy tones to add depth without competing with linen. - Shag or plush piles in gentle colours to add warmth and softness. Practical tips: choose hues that stay understated so the li…

Carpet Colours & Interior Styling Is yellow carpet too bright for a kids' room?

Yes, a yellow carpet can work in a kids’ room. It can create a cheerful, uplifting atmosphere and stimulate energy. The best choice depends on the shade, room size, and existing décor: lighter yellows can brighten smaller spaces, while warmer or deeper yellows can make a bold statement. Pair yellow with neutral walls and furnishings to balance brightness. If you’re unsure, testing samples in the room can help you see how the colour behaves in daylight and …

Wide Carpets, Rugs & Custom Sizes Can you make a round area rug to my sizing?

Round area rugs can be produced to bespoke dimensions and tailored finishes; BCC can advise on suitable materials, pile types and edge treatments for a circular shape. Some carpet ranges are available in wider formats, which can reduce joins; current widths vary by product and should be confirmed.

Wide Carpets, Rugs & Custom Sizes Do area rugs reduce noise transfer when placed over hard flooring?

Area rugs do help reduce noise transfer from hard floors by absorbing impact and airborne sound; the effect improves with thicker pile, denser construction and the use of an appropriate underlay or rug pad. Underlay choice and rug density influence footfall damping, warmth and comfort. For rooms where acoustics are important, consider pile height, backing and a suitable underlay as part of the selection. BCC can advise on trade-offs for specific spaces, bu…

Wide Carpets, Rugs & Custom Sizes Should I make a rug that extends past the dining chairs when pulled out?

Rugs that extend beyond the dining chairs generally improve comfort, protect flooring and help define the dining area. A commonly recommended guideline is to allow approximately 60–75 cm beyond the table edges so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out; this creates a cohesive look and avoids frequent snags. Consider traffic patterns, table shape and the rug’s pile height when choosing size. For custom sizing, material advice and to view samples, contact …

Stair Carpets & Landings Is woven carpets better wearing on stairs than tufted carpets? Show some woven carpets.

On stairs, woven carpets are generally more durable than tufted options due to their construction, providing better wear resistance and a neater appearance over time. Woven wool-loop and other tightly constructed weaves are common choices for stairs. Wider widths in woven styles can reduce the number of seams where a single run is possible. If you’d like to see examples, the Taren Point showroom can show suitable woven stair carpets. Please call 02 9526 64…

Carpet Trends, Style & Inspiration Show me some carpets for a Hamptons style home makeover.

A Hamptons-style scheme favours light coastal neutrals, natural textures and relaxed refinement. Consider woven wool or soft plush piles in pale beiges, creams and soft greys to create warmth without overpowering the palette. Natural fibre-effect textures, subtle pattern or loop constructions can add depth while remaining understated. Pay attention to underlay for comfort and staircase transitions for a cohesive look. Some carpet ranges are available in wi…
