Carpet is really pretty basic if you get someone to break it all down to the important stuff...how long will it last, how much effort will you have to put into it to keep it look good and how long before your kids/animals can destroy it. I hate doing educational stuff, it's just not fun..but I'm going to attempt this!
Textured Carpet--a good choice for busy mom's and a bachelor's friend!

So there you have it...simple! My favorite two carpets are berber and frieze. Simply because I have five kids, two dogs, three cats, we live on the water, I detest the vacuum cleaner and have little time to care for my floors. However, I like having friends over and sometimes they come unannounced (which does annoy me...to no end) and both berber and frieze look great even if they only get vacuum once or twice a week.
Make no mistake, if you don't love and respect your flooring and give it a bit of care it, doesn't matter what color/style you pick it won't love you back!
