How to Choose the Right Event Carpet for Your Project

Nov 5th 2013

There are so many reasons why carpet is a great option for events. It's comfortable, attractive, easy to install and maintain, and available in a huge selection of color, style, texture and weight (thickness) options. There are luxurious options, budget options, eco-friendly options, rental options, and even Brumark's ultra-convenient Advantage to Go! portable option.

Not to mention, event carpet is easy to customize by dyeing it to match brand colors or the color scheme of an event; adding logos or inlays; or custom-printing with attention-grabbing, photo-quality images.

So with all these choices, how do you select the right carpet for an event? Start by considering:

1. How and where the carpet will be used. What type of surface will the carpet be used on? What type of foot traffic will the area get? Is the event indoors or in a sheltered outdoor area? What carpet width do you need (10', 12' or 15')?

2. How often the carpet will be used. Although budget typically plays a role in selecting carpet, it's important to think through your long-term plans to get the best return on investment. If the carpet will be used for just one or two events a year, rental carpet may be the most cost-effective option. If the carpet will be used multiple times, you will get more from the investment by purchasing a durable, high-quality carpet like 10' Advantage or Brumark's new fade-resistant NexGen 10'.

3. What style and feel you want to convey. This is where it gets really fun! Color, texture, weight and padding can all contribute to the overall look and feel of the event whether the goal is to create an environment that is elegant, traditional, luxurious, trendy, fun or eco-conscious.
