: Don't skip the quality padding; it acts as a shock absorber to extend the carpet's life. Budget roughly $1.50 per square foot for this.

: Patterned and textured carpets are replacing "boring" neutrals.

Community consensus points toward a few key strategies for finding the best deals:

: Carpets often look lighter once installed. A color two tones lighter or darker than your walls creates the best visual balance. Most carpets come in 12-foot or 15-foot widths , so expect seams in larger rooms.

: Late December to mid-January or late spring to early summer, when demand is lower.
