As Australia’s largest flooring retailer and a network of over 200 locally owned and operated stores, we’ve got the decades of expertise and the range of options to suit Australian homes. And with plush pile carpets from trusted brands like Victoria Carpets, Beaulieu Australia, and more, you’ll find the perfect fit for your space.
What Is a Plush Pile Carpet?
A plush carpet is known for its dense, smooth surface and luxurious feel underfoot. As a type of carpet with a uniform finish, it offers a soft, velvety texture that adds warmth and elegance to any space.
Unlike loop pile carpets, which have uncut loops for a more textured look, plush pile carpets are made using a cut pile plush construction. This means the carpet fibres are evenly cut, creating a smooth and level surface. The result is a refined, high-end look that works beautifully in bedrooms, lounge rooms, and formal living spaces.
The Best Places to Enjoy Plush Carpet Flooring
Not every type of carpet feels as soft and inviting as plush pile. Its smooth, dense pile makes it ideal for spaces where comfort and style go hand in hand. To enjoy their benefits, install it in places designed for relaxation and elegance, like:
- Living Areas – Adds softness and style to spaces where you relax and unwind.
- Dining Rooms – Enhances the elegance of formal and everyday dining spaces.
- Bedrooms – Provides a warm, cushioned feel underfoot for ultimate comfort.
- Kids’ Rooms – Creates a soft, inviting space that’s perfect for play and rest.
- Stairs – Offers a plush, padded step for a quieter and more comfortable feel.
Finding Your Plush Carpet at Carpet Court
The right plush pile carpet isn’t just about softness. It should also suit your lifestyle, interior decor, and budget. From the type of pile to the fibre and carpet colour, there are a few key things to consider before making your decision.
1. Plain Plush vs. Twist Plush
Not all plush pile carpets have the same finish, and the right one depends on how and where you plan to use it.
- Plain Plush – Has a smooth, velvety look that gives rooms a refined, elegant feel. However, it can show footprints and vacuum marks, so it’s best for bedrooms, formal lounge rooms, and low-traffic areas.
- Twist Plush – Features slightly twisted fibres that create a more textured surface, helping to hide marks and shading. This makes it a better option for busy living areas, dining rooms, and family homes where durability is important.
If you want a high-end look without worrying about maintenance, a twist plush may be the better option for everyday use. But if luxury and softness are your top priorities, plain plush will deliver that ultra-smooth finish.
2. Wool Blend vs. Synthetic Fibre
The fibre you pick affects how your carpet feels, how well it holds up over time, and how easy it is to maintain.
- Wool Blends – Made from a mix of natural wool and synthetic fibres, wool blends offer softness, durability, and insulation. They help regulate indoor temperature, making them a great option for bedrooms and living areas. While they are naturally stain-resistant, they still require regular care to prevent spills from settling.
- Synthetic Fibres – Made from materials like solution-dyed nylon, polyester, and polypropylene, these carpets are highly stain-resistant, durable, and easy to clean. They are best suited for busy households, rental properties, and high-traffic areas like hallways and dining rooms. For homes needing a residential extra heavy-duty rating, this is the best option.
For family homes or spaces with kids and pets, synthetic fibres offer the best balance of durability and easy maintenance. If comfort and natural insulation matter most, wool blends provide a premium feel with added warmth.
3. The Right Carpet Colour
The carpet colour you pick can transform the look and feel of a room.
- Lighter tones – Create an airy, open feel and make smaller spaces look bigger. Great for modern interiors and low-traffic areas but may require more maintenance.
- Darker shades – Add depth, warmth, and a cosy feel. They’re ideal for busy areas like living rooms and dining rooms as they help hide dirt and marks.
- Neutral colours – Timeless and versatile, neutrals blend seamlessly with any décor. Perfect for long-term investment and resale value.
- Bold colours – Make a statement and add personality to a room. Best suited for feature spaces or contemporary designs.
4. Balancing Cost and Quality
Wool blends and premium synthetic fibres offer long-lasting quality and durability, making them a great investment for busy homes. More affordable synthetic options provide softness at a lower cost, making them ideal for guest rooms or low-traffic spaces.
5. Warranties
Different carpet styles may have specific care requirements. Following the right installation and maintenance guidelines will help preserve both your warranty and the luxurious feel of your carpet.
All new carpets at Carpet Court come with warranties under the Australian Consumer Law, giving you confidence in their quality and durability.
For long-term performance, ensure proper installation over quality underlay in compliance with Australian and New Zealand Standards. This enhances comfort, maintains the plush texture, and supports warranty conditions.

What is plush carpet?
Plush carpet pile is cut to a uniform height creating a sleek, smooth finish. It is dense, constructed from closely tufted strands, and can have a velvety appearance. Plush carpet is beautifully soft and can be made from both wool or synthetic fibres.
There are a number of luxuriously warm plush carpets to consider from within Carpet Court’s extensive range made from soft and durable wool blends. In the synthetic range, there are stunning plush, polyester carpets available in a variety of gorgeous earthy tones. These aesthetically pleasing carpets offer the supreme softness and warmth that is associated with plush carpet pile.
What are the benefits of plush carpet?
Depending on the fibre you choose, plush carpet pile offers excellent comfort and luxuriousness at an affordable price. The close construction of the pile has a cushioning effect making it ideal for areas in the home where comfort is required, such as bedrooms and living areas.
Plush carpets have protective elements added to repel dirt and stains and provide simple maintenance. Spills can easily be spot cleaned in time to prevent staining as the protective coatings delay the time it takes for liquids to penetrate the carpet fibres. Everyday dirt is also repelled and doesn’t easily stick to plush carpet piles.
Plush carpets are durable and present as tasteful and stylish, creating a high-end, luxurious impression.
What areas is plush carpet ideal for? 
In certain lights the cut edge of a plush carpet pile can tend to show slightly uneven marks from foot traffic, indentations from furniture and vague tracking marks from vacuum cleaners. For these reasons it can be better suited to homes or areas of the home that don’t receive a high volume of traffic or a great deal of activity.
Plush pile can be especially suited to executive or formal homes or areas within the family home which don’t experience a lot of family activity. It is certainly durable and it can easily withstand the rigours of daily life, but it may not mask the signs as well as other carpet piles.
Being so luxuriously comfortable and cosy, plush carpet is ideal for bedrooms, formal lounges and formal dining rooms.
Where can I see different types of carpet in-store? 
Carpet Court is Australia’s largest flooring retailer. As their carpet collection is so vast, it can be best to see the different types in-store, rather than online, so that you can assess the carpets’ physical qualities too.
With so many important facets to consider when choosing a new carpet, such as the type of fibre, pile, colour and texture – it is a good idea to get advice and information from one of the friendly, knowledgeable staff at your local Carpet Court store.
