The most popular types of animal print carpet designs are leopard print and zebra print. Leopard or ocelot has a light brown or gold-toned base with black spots or circles to mimic the fur patterns of these big cats. Zebra print is an irregular black and white striped carpet that’s perfect for monochrome interiors.
An animal print carpet is usually the star attraction in any space, but just how much attention it gets depends on how you style the rest of the room. For a pared-back look, stick to neutrals like creams and beiges for the walls, and choose furniture in earthy tones and natural textures. For a touch of drama and mystery, use dark colours such as chocolate brown, charcoal grey or black on walls, furniture and woodwork, then introduce luxurious textures like velvet or satin. Or for a maximalist look, clash vivid colours like forest green and flamingo pink with circus stripes or polka dots, then finish off with metallic accessories.
Our luxury animal print carpets are made from an 80% wool blend, woven using traditional methods for extra durability and brilliant warmth. They’re designed for heavy use around the home, even on stairs. Our more affordable animal print carpets are made from polypropylene, which means they’re stain resistant, UV resistant and easy to clean. They both feel soft underfoot and look amazing, so it all comes down to what’s the best carpet material for your home, lifestyle and budget.
We’re glad you asked! It’s a common misconception that carpets will always look the same as the day they were fitted, however, this isn’t quite true. Fret not! At Tapi, we aim to provide useful advice that can help improve the appearance of your carpet and its longevity, so you can enjoy that soft luxurious feel for longer.
We’ve outlined lots of useful advice you can take advantage of in order to care for your carpet. This can be found in our carpet care guide.
Yes, we offer a ‘whipping’ service, which is the technical name for the action of edging an offcut or carpet, so that it can be made into a rug or mat. If you bring your offcut into your local store, they will be able to confirm the price for this service as well as how long it will take.
Oh no! It’s always a panic-inducing moment when you see that glass of red wine tip over in slow motion onto your plush cream carpet, but the quicker you act, the less chance there is of it staining. You should have received a Tapi floor care guide by email when you placed your order, but you can also find out more in our carpet care guide, as well as our top tips on removing stains from your carpet.
The best option for a pet-friendly carpet is one with a short pile. Loop carpets are a great choice as any pet hair tends to sit on top of the carpet, making it much easier to vacuum. Go for a shorter loop carpet as taller loops can sometimes snag on your pets' claws. A carpet made from 100% polypropylene is stain resistant so any muddy paw prints or little accidents can be easily cleaned up.
No, 5m is the widest carpet we have available. If you need a carpet wider than 5m, then the fitters can join two pieces of carpet together in such a precise way that you'd never be able to tell, such as placing the join near the farthest wall, or underneath a sofa or large wardrobe. Our flooring experts can advise you of your options when they measure your floor, as well as suggest the best style of carpets to choose so the join is less noticeable.
A carpet tog rating is exactly the same as a tog rating for a duvet - it's how good it is at insulation. The higher a carpet's tog rating, the better it'll be at keeping your room warm, so pick a carpet with a high tog rating if you'll be laying it over draughty wooden floorboards!
You need to pay special attention to tog ratings if you've got underfloor heating. Whilst you want to insulate your room, you also want the heat to be able to flow up and into the room. A lower tog rating will transmit underfloor heating more efficiently. We'd recommend a maximum of 2.5 tog on top of underfloor heating. Underlay also has a tog rating, so this could be a combination of a high tog carpet and a low tog underlay, or vice versa. Take a look at our guide for how to insulate your floors for more expert advice.
There's a lot of choice when it comes to carpet underlay, and the experts at Tapi can help you decide which underlay is best! Just like a superhero's sidekick, underlay provides support for your carpet and helps enhance its performance. Carpet underlay comes in a variety of different materials, including recycled PU foam and sponge rubber, as well as a range of thicknesses. Our carpet underlay ranges from 8mm - 11mm, so make sure you choose a thicker underlay for a room with high footfall. For more information and help choosing, head on over to our handy guide on the best carpet underlay.
