5 reasons why your home is the best carpet showroom

With most furnishings and homewares, a visit to the store is essential. You head down to your local mall or town centre, and take your pick. Why should carpet be any different?

Here are 5 reasons why carpet is one of those exceptions that proves the rule:

1. No shop can replicate your living room

There’s only one way see how a particular carpet looks in your home, and it doesn’t involve strip lighting and cavernous spaces. By viewing carpet samples in the space they will occupy, you can judge the total effect with your décor and unique lighting conditions. It’s a big purchase, and you’re going to live with it for a long time, so you might as well see it in your living space before you get out your credit card.

2. Open when you are

What’s the best time to arrange a carpet viewing? Do you want to do it after work one weeknight? Would you prefer a weekend viewing, when you’re relaxed and not worried about time? With a mobile showroom van that comes to you, carpet viewings can take place at the time that suits you best.

3. It’s a family affair

No need to drag unwilling kids or a distracted partner down to the shops. Let them see what’s on offer for their bedrooms, hallway or family room, and get everyone’s viewpoint on the spot.

4. Options galore

Mobile showrooms can bring literally hundreds of different carpet samples to your doorstep. You can check various carpet types, compare colours and textures, and see what works in your home. Want to see more? The carpet consultant can pop outside to the van and bring you fresh ideas on the spot.

5. Do it all in one hit

No need to make a separate appointment to have your rooms measured and priced. You simply take a coffee break while your consultant takes accurate measurements and sorts out a comprehensive quote on the spot.
