While hard surface flooring like tile and hardwood has dominated design magazines lately, the comfort and aesthetic power of soft surfaces should never be underestimated. A well-placed area rug or a high-quality wall-to-wall carpet can completely transform the "feel" of a room—literally and figuratively. In the colder months of Southeastern Wisconsin, the insulation and warmth provided by carpet are not just luxuries; they are essentials.
Defining Your Space with Area Rugs
Open-concept floor plans are beautiful, but they can often feel cavernous or unorganized. Area rugs act as an anchor, defining specific zones within a larger room. For example, a large rug in the living area groups the sofa and chairs together, creating a cozy conversation nook.
At Carpets Plus Outlet, we specialize in room-sized remnants that can be custom-bound to your exact specifications. This allows you to get a high-end, custom-fit look without the custom-order price tag.
The Science of Comfort: Why Carpet Still Wins
There is a reason why bedrooms are still predominantly carpeted. Soft surfaces provide:
Acoustic Dampening: Carpet absorbs sound, making it perfect for multi-story homes or media rooms.
Thermal Insulation: Carpet holds warmth, helping to keep energy bills down during Kenosha winters.
Safety: For seniors or toddlers, carpet provides a non-slip surface and a cushioned landing in case of falls.
Modern Carpet is Not Your Grandma’s Shag
If you haven't shopped for carpet in a decade, you will be shocked at the technological advances. We carry brands like Shaw and Mohawk that feature fiber technology designed to repel liquids and prevent stains from ever setting in. This means you can have that light-colored, luxurious carpet you’ve always wanted without the constant fear of a wine spill or pet accident.
Our team at Carpets Plus Outlet has been helping customers find the perfect balance of style and function since the 1990s. We take pride in our deep roots in the community, which you can read about on our About Us page.
Choosing the Right Pile and Texture
From the tight, durable loops of a Berber to the deep, luxurious cut-pile of a Saxony, the texture of your carpet dictates both its look and its durability. Our designers can help you choose a "frieze" for high-traffic hallways or a plush "velvet" for a formal master suite.
