I'm (hopefully) buying a new build and we need to carpet the following areas:
Sitting Room (has a woodburner and underfloor heating)
Stairs and Landing (not underfloor heating)
3 large bedrooms (not underfloor heating)
We also have 3 cats plus I have a messy DH who regularly spills red wine
We need to get the exact room measurements but the total space is around 100sqm. I've never had to buy carpets before! All my current homes have come with really good wool/wool mix carpets that I've not had to replace. The wool has worn very well but isn't easy to remove stains from.
All the websites seem to be recommending polypropylene for easy cleaning but I have also read that it is not a good idea in areas where you have a fire/woodburner as it really goes up?
I know we need to avoid loop pile for the cats claws.
I'd like the bedrooms to feel nice, but all of the areas need to be easy to clean as the cats seem to choose carpet to throw up on.
Budget is not enormous - ideally no more than £30sqm with underlay.
I don't know whether to go for the same thing everywhere (previous homes had the same carpet throughout) or different. The sitting room has to be compatible with underfloor heating too.
I am completely overwhelmed!
