Wool Carpet

WHY USE WOOL CARPETS IN YOUR HOME

Wool carpets combine comfort, durability and natural benefits, which makes them an excellent addition to your home. Their natural softness and strength create a cosy, durable option.

At Carpet Court, we offer carpets made from premium-quality wool sourced from Australia and New Zealand. This high standard of craftsmanship gives you lasting quality, along with the warmth and style that can transform your space.

Here’s why they are a practical and luxurious flooring solution for your home:

• Stain resistance: These carpets naturally resist stains because of their waxy surface. Spills sit on top of the wool fibres, giving you time to clean up before they sink in and cause lasting marks.
• Anti-microbial properties: Wool helps you maintain a healthier home by resisting bacteria, mould and mildew. This makes it ideal for humid areas.
• Durability: Wool carpets are built to withstand daily wear while still looking great. Loop pile styles resist crushing and moisture, while cut pile options stay soft and perform well in busy spaces.
• Softness: Pure wool carpets feel soft and cosy underfoot, which creates a welcoming space. Their gentle surface also helps cushion falls and makes them ideal for homes with kids.
• Natural insulation: Wool helps regulate your home’s temperature throughout the year. It keeps your space warm in winter and cool in summer.
• Sustainability: Wool is a natural fibre that is renewable and biodegradable. Its durability means fewer replacements, which helps reduce waste and makes it a smart environmental option.

WHAT ARE THE MOST POPULAR STYLES OF WOOL CARPETS?

We understand that different spaces require different floor coverings. That’s why we offer a wide range of wool carpet styles and types to suit different tastes and needs.

These are the most popular options and why we recommend them for your home:

• Plain: Simple and versatile, these plain carpets offer a clean, smooth finish that complements any decor.
• Textured: Add depth and character to your space with textured carpets featuring subtle patterns and textures that create visual interest.
• Twist pile: Known for their practicality, these twist pile carpets have tightly twisted fibres that resist wear, making them ideal for living rooms and other high-traffic areas.
• Loop pile: Offering a practical and stylish option, this loop pile carpet is hardwearing and perfect for creating a modern, minimalist look.
• Plush: With a luxurious feel, plush carpets have a soft, velvety surface, adding elegance and comfort to your home.

Most of our wool carpets are made from 100% pure Australian and New Zealand wool. We also have wool blend options that combine the luxury of natural wool with the durability of synthetic carpet fibres like polypropylene and solution-dyed nylon.

HOW TO FIND THE PERFECT WOOL CARPET FOR YOUR SPACE

Finding the right wool carpet for your home starts with understanding where it will go and how it will be used. To help you make the best decision, consider these factors:

• Lifestyle: Think about how you will use your new carpet. For high-traffic areas, opt for a durable twist or loop style. Go for a plush or textured carpet for cosy spaces.
• Aesthetics: Your carpet should complement the interior design of your home. Look for a style that enhances your décor and ties the room together for a cohesive look.
• Colour: Carpet colours can make a big impact on your space. Light carpet colours can make a space feel bigger and brighter, while dark carpet colours add warmth and cosiness. Neutral colours offer flexibility, and bold hues make a statement.
• Texture: The texture of the carpet affects its look and feel. Soft, plush textures are ideal for creating a luxurious, comfortable space, while looped textures are practical and stylish for busy areas.
• Pile height: This determines how thick and dense the carpet feels. Higher piles are softer and more insulating, while shorter piles are easier to clean and maintain.
• Type of flooring: If you have hardwood or timber flooring in parts of your home, select a wool carpet that complements the tones and finishes. This creates a consistent look across all your spaces.

WOOL CARPET CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE TIPS

Once your wool carpets are installed, taking care of them will help them look great for years. Regular vacuuming is the easiest way to keep dirt and dust from settling into the fibres. High-traffic areas will need more attention to stay clean and fresh.

If a spill happens, act quickly to prevent it from becoming a stain. Blot gently with a clean, damp cloth to lift the spill without pushing it deeper into the carpet.

We also recommend having your carpets professionally cleaned once or twice a year. This will remove dirt that builds up over time and help restore your carpet’s softness and vibrancy. For more tips, check out our Cleaning and Care Guide.

Texture is also a big trend in wool carpets. Plush and loop pile styles are loved for their soft, cosy feel, which is perfect for spaces like living rooms and bedrooms.
