# Carpet ## About Carpet Carpet is part of our carpet selection for rooms where you want a textile surface beneath your feet; the named range has its own pile and fibre details, which give the finished carpet its texture alongside the colour you see across the room. You can use carpet as a quiet base beneath patterned furniture or make a deeper shade part of the room's colour scheme; the feel depends on the construction as well as the visible pile. A collection name identifies the range, while the exact product describes its intended use. The light can make one area of the pile look darker than another as you move through the room; that change is part of the way a textile surface reflects light, rather than a separate printed pattern. You may notice it more on a smoother pile where the yarn lies in a clear direction. You can browse [Plain carpet](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/plain-carpet/) within our wider flooring selection. ## What gives carpet its feel Carpet has a textile surface above a backing, with the yarn and pile construction forming the part you feel underfoot; a cut pile has exposed yarn ends, while a loop pile keeps the yarn in loops. Different fibres and pile shapes give carpet a range of textures. You get a softer surface than a hard floor, which is one reason carpet remains a familiar choice in the home; the depth of the pile affects its feel, but softness also depends on the yarn and the density of the finished surface. ## Carpet colour and room style A carpet covers a broad part of the room, so its shade can change how your furniture looks against the floor. Pale neutrals give you a gentle background beneath dark upholstery, while deeper colours create more contrast against white walls. The pile can also change in tone with the direction of the light. Plain-looking carpet works with patterned curtains or bedding; a blended yarn has more detail close up and can look more even from across the room. That difference gives you a choice between a clearer colour and a mixed surface. You can also find [Carpet Underlay](https://flooringking.co.uk/accessories/underlay/carpet-underlay/) among the related products across the Flooring King catalogue. ## Comfort in living rooms and bedrooms Carpet can suit a bedroom where you want a soft surface beside the bed, or a living room arranged around upholstered seating; it also changes the sound of footsteps compared with many hard floors, although the result depends on the whole floor build. The backing and any suitable underlay contribute to how the carpet feels in use. Room suitability is specific to the product, so a carpet for a quiet bedroom may have a different rating from one approved for stairs. Pile depth alone does not establish its intended use. ## Carpet fibres and everyday care Carpet fibres differ in the way they respond to wear and cleaning; some ranges use wool, while others use manufactured fibres or a blend. The fibre label describes the material, and the maker's care advice relates to the exact carpet and any treatment on its yarn. Regular vacuuming removes loose dirt from the pile; the surface may show marks from furniture or changes in pile direction, especially in a deeper or smoother finish. Cleaning products also need to suit the fibre, since a treatment for one carpet may be unsuitable for another. - **URL:** https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/ - **Products listed:** 12 on this page - **Catalogue page:** 1 of 24 (some products may be omitted) ## Products on this page | Product | Price | Availability | URL | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Ideal Dublin Twist - Anthracite | £5.99 per m² | In stock | https://flooringking.co.uk/product/dublin-twist-anthracite-158/ | | Vanguard Auckland - Linear Sand | £15.39 per m² | In stock | https://flooringking.co.uk/product/cfs-auckland-linear-sand-269/ | | Vanguard Auckland - Linear Corn | £15.39 per m² | In stock | https://flooringking.co.uk/product/cfs-auckland-linear-corn-295/ | | Vanguard Auckland - Linear Oatmeal | £15.39 per m² | In stock | https://flooringking.co.uk/product/cfs-auckland-linear-oatmeal-270/ | | Ideal Dublin Twist - Pigeon | £5.99 per m² | In stock | https://flooringking.co.uk/product/dublin-twist-pigeon-155/ | | Vanguard Auckland - Linear Moon | £15.39 per m² | In stock | https://flooringking.co.uk/product/cfs-auckland-linear-moon-474/ | | Ideal Dublin Twist - Ivory | £5.99 per m² | In stock | https://flooringking.co.uk/product/dublin-twist-ivory-307/ | | Vanguard Auckland - Hive Oatmeal | £15.39 per m² | In stock | https://flooringking.co.uk/product/cfs-auckland-hive-oatmeal-370/ | | Balta Gala - Ash Brown | £10.99 per m² | In stock | https://flooringking.co.uk/product/gala-stripes-ash-brown-082/ | | Ideal Dublin Twist - Dolphin | £5.99 per m² | In stock | https://flooringking.co.uk/product/dublin-twist-dolphin-156/ | | Vanguard Auckland - Hive Corn | £15.39 per m² | In stock | https://flooringking.co.uk/product/cfs-auckland-hive-corn-395/ | | Vanguard Silk Harmony - Ashes | £19.79 per m² | In stock | https://flooringking.co.uk/product/silk-harmony-ashes-734/ | ## Sub-categories - [Bleach Cleanable Carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/bleach-cleanable-carpets/) — 282 products - [CFS Carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/cfs-carpets/) — 14 products - [Cheap Carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/cheap-carpets/) — 47 products - [Flecked patterned carpet](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/flecked-carpet/) — 3 products - [Plain carpet](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/plain-carpet/) — 279 products - [Polypropylene carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/polypropylene-carpet/) — 266 products - [Real Wool Carpet](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/wool-carpet/) — 16 products - [Soft underfoot carpet](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/soft-underfoot-carpet/) — 78 products - [Stain resistant carpet](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/stain-resistant-carpet/) — 78 products - [Balta Carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/balta/) — 24 products - [Condor Carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/condor-carpets/) — 17 products - [Ideal carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/ideal/) — 10 products - [Lano carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/lano/) — 66 products - [Vanguard Carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/vanguard/) — 151 products - [Cut Pile Carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/cut-pile-carpet/) — 49 products - [Loop pile carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/loop-pile-carpet/) — 27 products - [Saxony Carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/saxony-carpet/) — 35 products - [Twist Pile Carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/twist-pile/) — 170 products - [Bedroom Carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/bedroom-carpet/) — 268 products - [Dining Room Carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/dining-room-carpet/) — 268 products - [Hallway carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/hallway-carpet/) — 268 products - [Living Room Carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/living-room-carpet/) — 268 products - [Carpet for the Stairs](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/stairs-carpet/) — 268 products - [Brown Carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/brown-carpet/) — 44 products - [Grey Carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/grey-carpet/) — 97 products - [White Carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/white-carpet/) — 3 products - [Cream Carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/cream-carpet/) — 21 products - [Black Carpets](https://flooringking.co.uk/carpet/black-carpet/) — 21 products --- ## About this document This is the Markdown representation of a page on Flooring King (https://flooringking.co.uk/), served because the request asked for `text/markdown`. - Site index for agents: [https://flooringking.co.uk/llms.txt](https://flooringking.co.uk/llms.txt) - Guidance for agents, and the terms of use: [https://flooringking.co.uk/for-agents/](https://flooringking.co.uk/for-agents/) - XML sitemap: [https://flooringking.co.uk/sitemap_index.xml](https://flooringking.co.uk/sitemap_index.xml)
