CARPET PLUS · SELMA, ALABAMA
A practical way to find your kind of floor.
The best starting question is not always “Which color?” It is “What does this room need to do?” Use this guide to organize your priorities, then explore the online catalog and bring your shortlist to Diana or Tori at Carpet Plus in Selma.
1. Describe the room honestly.
Think about everyday traffic, spills, pets, rolling chairs, sunlight and cleaning. Note what is under the existing floor and whether you have noticed moisture or uneven areas. A beautiful material still needs to be suitable for the space and the manufacturer’s installation requirements.
- Softness and comfort may lead you toward carpet.
- Real wood, laminate and luxury vinyl each offer different ways to create a wood look.
- Tile and resilient options give you other formats, textures and care considerations.
2. Compare the whole look.
Look at a room photograph and a close-up. Plank width, tile size, grain, pattern and shade variation matter across a full floor. Bring paint, cabinet or fabric samples into the comparison, and consider the transition to surfaces you plan to keep.
3. Turn your shortlist into a plan.
Save a few favorites, compare their specifications and write down what you like about each one. Ask about current samples, availability, pricing, preparation, transitions and care. Use the website’s measurement planner to organize approximate dimensions, while leaving final measurements and quantities to be confirmed before ordering.
LET’S MAKE THIS EASIER
A few good questions.
Should I pick the material or color first?
Start with the room’s practical requirements, then compare colors within suitable materials. That approach helps you avoid falling in love with an option that does not fit the intended use.
How many samples should I compare?
A small shortlist is often easier to assess than a large pile. Choose a few distinct directions, compare them with your room finishes, and explain what you like or dislike about each to the team.
