Preparing To Visit A Carpet Store In Brooklyn

By Allyson Burke


The choice of new floor coverings or flooring treatments is one of the most important home improvement purchases that you will undertake. This does not have to be a stressful or difficult project though. Careful planning will help make the whole selection, purchase and installation process easier. The key is to keep in mind some important things to consider before visiting a carpet store in Brooklyn.

The first thing to keep in mind is that the time of the year that you purchase will have a major impact in several ways on the project. Buying right before the holidays is common, but is actually one of the worst times of the year that you could do it. Prices are often doubled as new flooring has long been one of the most sought after holiday gifts for housewives from their husbands.

Buying after the first of the year us a great time to save. This is when new collections come into stores and old stock will be drastically reduced. These savings are substantial, but you may have to choose from limited selections.

Take advantage of ends, remnants and small stock items. These along with "Last years style" inventory will save you up to 80% of in many cases versus similar items that are in full stock at the moment. If you are doing a small room such as a bath or a hallway these can be a great choice. These types of stock are also great for having cut and trimmed out to be area rugs or throw rugs.

Make sure that you have your exact room measurements with you when you head to the store. This will help you to select the flooring that you want and get an accurate estimate. Take into account that you will need to add two percent to the measurements to account fitting the flooring properly. You should also make sure that you pad your measurements by 5% in order to allow for proper cutting and fitting at the time of the installation.

Make three choices for each room that you want to re-floor. This will not only allow you to make the choice that you are truly happier with, but at the same time you will be able to choose a backup in case your favorite is unavailable at the time of your order. This is a great way to select which of the choices that you like will fit best with your current home furnishings.

Bring pictures of your rooms and closeups of your furniture patters with you to the store. Again this is only going to help you select that right flooring for your existing items. Make sure that bring pictures with full daylight as well as full and subdued artificial lighting.

Keeping these things in mind before visiting a carpet store in Brooklyn will help to ensure that you not only get the perfect floor coverings for your needs but that you are happy in every aspect of the purchase. This is one of the most important purchases that you will make in your home. Make sure that you get it right the first time and avoid difficulty and stress by being prepared before you walk in the door of the store.
