Types of Carpet for Every Need

When it comes to finding the just right carpet for your home, there’s more to it than picking your favorite color. Different carpet styles and fibers don’t just look unique—they feel and perform differently too!

 

At Whitt Carpet One Floor & Home, our local experts are here to guide you every step of the way—we’ll help you explore your options, talk through your needs, and find the perfect match that makes your Salem space feel like you. But before you swing by the showroom, here’s a little sneak peek at what you need to know:

 

Popular Carpet Styles

  • Pattern Carpet: Love a little flair? Patterned carpet is ideal for adding personality and movement to a space—looks fabulous in home offices or stylish sitting rooms in Salem’s charming older homes.
  • Texture Carpet: Great for busy areas like family rooms and dens, this soft and casual style helps hide footprints and vacuum lines.
  • Loop Carpet: Made for durability, looped carpet is ideal for high-traffic spaces like hallways or playrooms.
  • Frieze Carpet: This twisty, modern style adds energy and a laid-back vibe—think game rooms, teen hangouts, or any fun space that needs to balance softness with everyday wear and tear.
  • Plush Carpet: Dreamy, smooth, and velvety soft underfoot, plush carpet is your go-to for bedrooms and cozy reading nooks where comfort is the main event.

 

Top-Performing Carpet Fibers

  • Nylon: Durable, soft, and stain-fighting. Nylon is a favorite for families with kids and pets running between the soccer field and home—it holds up beautifully while still feeling cozy.
  • Polyester: Want style on a budget? Polyester brings that luxe softness without the price tag and works great in bedrooms or low-traffic living spaces. Bonus: it's stain-resistant and color-rich.
  • Triexta: Super strong and built to tackle messes. Triexta is ideal for active households—it’s the kind of carpet that stands up to daily Salem life (think school bags, snack spills, and all).
  • Olefin: Budget-friendly and moisture-resistant, olefin is a great pick for those chill, low-traffic zones—think basements, sunrooms, or even your cozy screened porch for sipping sweet tea year-round!
  • Wool: Naturally plush, breathable, and hypoallergenic. Wool’s a classic for a reason, and it’s perfect for eco-conscious Salem homeowners who love timeless charm and long-lasting comfort.

 

Waterproof Carpet? Yes, Please!

Yep, you heard that right—waterproof carpet is real, and it’s a total game-changer for life here in Salem, VA!

 

Whether your weekends are filled with hiking at McAfee Knob, paddling the Roanoke River, or chasing muddy pups around the backyard, you need floors that can keep up. At Whitt Carpet One Floor & Home, we carry waterproof, pet-friendly, and stain-resistant carpets that are built for real-life messes—without sacrificing comfort or style. So go ahead, and embrace the chaos of backyard barbecues, wet paws, and snowy boot days… your floors can handle it with ease (and still look amazing doing it).

 

Let the Pros Handle Your Carpet Installation

We get it—doing things yourself can feel empowering. But when it comes to carpet installation, trust us… you want to empower the pros on this one.

 

From subfloor prep and carpet padding to perfectly stretching and aligning those seams, there are a lot of behind-the-scenes steps that go into a flawless flooring installation. At Whitt Carpet One Floor & Home, our expert team in Salem, VA handles every detail with care, so you don’t have to stress or second-guess a thing.

 

And here's the cherry on top: all of our carpet installations are backed by The Beautiful Guarantee®. If you don't love how your new carpet looks, we’ll replace it for free. No fuss, just floors you’ll enjoy.

 

Tips to Keep Your Carpet Fresh

Now that your new carpet’s installed and looking fabulous, let’s keep it that way! Whether it’s your little ones tracking in leaves after a crisp fall day picking pumpkins or your pup trailing in muck from the trails at Green Hill Park, your floors are bound to face a little dirt and debris. Don’t worry—we’ve got a few easy tips to help your carpet stay clean, cozy, and totally guest-ready all year long.

 

  1. Vacuum like it’s part of your routine. A quick pass a few times a week keeps dirt, pet hair, and trail dust from settling in. Bonus points if you hit those high-traffic spots a little more often—your carpet will thank you!
  2. Jump on spills ASAP. Accidents happen (hello, spilled cider or muddy paw prints!). Blot—don’t rub—and treat right away to prevent stains from setting in.
  3. Rotate furniture & use area rugs. Keep things looking fresh and prevent dents or fading by switching up your furniture placement every so often. An area rug in entryways or under play zones can work wonders too.
  4. Schedule a deep clean now and then. A professional clean once a year helps lift deep-down dirt and revives that soft, fluffy feel you love.
  5. Need backup for a tough stain? We've got your back with our handy Stain First Aid Guide—your go-to resource for dealing with life’s messier moments.

Bob W.

"Replaced all carpets after 23 years of 4 kids and multiple pets. Experience was A+ from selection to installation (which was on time and well-communicated). I've read that they may be a little more expensive than elsewhere but well worth it, in my opinion. Special shout out to Bob Garby who guided me through the entire process."

Dawn S.

"I relocated to Salem in Oct 2022 and discovered the home I'd bought needed carpet replaced before my furniture even arrived from out of state. The entire Whitt staff worked to make it happen and I found the perfect carpet. A prompt estimate, beautiful carpet selections, and excellent carpet installers- everyone is FIVE Star! Thank you."
