Although shopping online for anything and everything has become more popular over the past few years, some things are just better to shop for in person. Shopping online takes away your ability to see the color of something in person, feel the product you are buying, and in some cases smell the product you are buying. All these senses that we use to determine what we want versus what we don’t want are taken away when we shop online. When you are shopping for decor or flooring for your home, you want to make sure you are getting exactly what you want. Here are a few benefits of shopping at a carpet store for flooring instead of online.

The colors may vary - The color of carpet, tile, or vinyl flooring might look different online than it does at our carpet store. A digital photo can wash out or change a color sometimes depending on what color it is. This is why people who order carpet or other types of flooring online, often end up returning it at least once before getting the color they wanted.

The feel of the flooring - There is no way of knowing how a specific type of carpet or tile feels when you shop online. But when you choose to visit our carpet store for an in-person shopping experience we can show you different samples of flooring that you can look at and touch. It may not seem like a big deal to touch something, but it is because it will give you an idea of what the flooring will be like when you walk on it at home.

See all the options at the same time - When you shop online it’s easy to miss a certain type of flooring that may be available because you never visited all the pages on the site. However, at our carpet store, we have everything out so you can see samples of the many types of flooring we have. We also have people at our store who can assist you in finding the flooring you are looking for.

Side-by-side comparisons - The samples at our carpet store allow you to do side-by-side comparisons of two different types of flooring to see how they differ when it comes to color, feel, and anything else you care about.
