Jeff’s straight talk about choosing carpet
The Biggest Carpet Color Mistake Homeowners Make
The biggest mistake is choosing carpet from a small sample under store lighting—without seeing that color inside your home, beside your walls and furniture, under the light where it will actually live.
The mistake is guessing
Carpet Color Changes From Room to Room
Showroom lights, daylight, lamps, wall colors, furniture and woodwork can all affect how a carpet color appears. A color that looks perfect in the store may look warmer, cooler, lighter or darker when you bring it home.
That is why the final color decision should never be made in the store. Use the showroom to narrow your choices—then make the decision in your room.
The right place to choose your carpet color is inside your home, under your lights.

What Should You Compare at Home?
Place each sample beside the walls, furniture, cabinets and woodwork that will remain in the room. Look at the color from the doorway and from the places where your family normally sits. If the carpet will continue into a hallway or adjoining room, check it from those spaces too.
Why Look More Than Once?
Natural light changes throughout the day, and evening lamps can shift a color again. Living with the samples for a little while gives everyone in the family a chance to compare them without rushing.
The Bottom Line
Do not guess what a color actually looks like in your home. With Dayton Carpet, you can stop in, pick your favorites, take them home—and there is never a charge.
