The design debate over which is better in the home, carpet, tiles, or other types of flooring, rages on. This is an argument in favor of carpet, not to denigrate the very high design values of other flooring, but to add some additional perspective. Carpeting has evolved a lot in recent years, and it now has some particularly valuable advantages for home owners. Carpet manufacturers have had a sort of design epiphany in recent years, and if you look at modern commercial carpets, you’ll see how much has changed.

1. The aesthetic reasons

There’s nothing quite like a landscaped pool, particularly with a garden. These pools blend in to the landscape, adding their reflected light. If you’re a keen gardener, the opportunities are endless for creating beautiful canopy and water effects, very much like a water garden, except you can swim in it.
