Carpet Selection Guide: Finding the Perfect Fit for Kenyan Homes
Choosing the right carpet involves more than just selecting a color you like. With Kenya's diverse climate and lifestyle considerations, here's what you need to know when selecting carpets for your home:
-
Fiber Types for Kenyan Conditions: Nylon carpets offer excellent durability and stain resistance, making them ideal for high-traffic areas. Polyester provides softness and vibrant color options, while wool offers natural luxury and temperature regulation perfect for Nairobi's cooler evenings.
-
Consider Room Usage: High-traffic areas like hallways and living rooms need durable, stain-resistant options. Bedrooms can accommodate plusher, more luxurious piles since they experience less wear.
-
Color and Pattern Considerations: Lighter colors can make rooms feel more spacious but may show stains more easily. Patterns and multicolor carpets are excellent for hiding dirt between cleanings—a practical choice for homes with children or pets.
-
Padding Matters: Don't overlook carpet padding! Quality padding extends your carpet's life, provides additional comfort underfoot, and offers better insulation and sound absorption.
-
