Technological advances just keep coming

 
Did you know that even the shag, which the iconic brown, green and yellow hues of the 1970s, enjoyed a color palette expansion in the early 2000s? Now it can be one of your home's fashion centerpieces with fun multicolors or solids such as purple, red, black, and more.
 
 
 
 
 
The digital world also changed patterning. Motifs don't just sit at fiber tips, as they once in the not-too-distant-past, did. Rather, they now go straight through, resulting in more vibrancy and. non-existent fading.

Perhaps one of the biggest advances is in the development of a fiber called Triexta, which has permanent stain-resistance built into the fiber. You can't wear it or steam-clean it off. It is also, as some say, even stronger than nylon.

This is an advantage for those with pets or spill-prone, messy residents, because it just removes all worry.
 
 
 
 
 
 

High pile vs low pile carpets

 
Each style has a high or low pile. You need to be familiar with pile because style often depends on it.

Rugs like the shag and frieze, with long, loose fibers, are considered high pile. The Berber style or any cut and loop style is considered low.

Low pile rugs are generally easier to clean, but it comes down to the priorities of the space. For instance, a high pile carpet might be great for the bedroom, but not for the stairs where it can't wrap safely around railings and provide a solid foundation for the foot.

By the way, there are some rugs, like the Saxony, that fall somewhere in the middle of the high-low carpet pile.
