Having fallen out of favor for decades, carpet is officially back! Not much beats the feeling of kicking off your shoes at the end of a long day or stepping out of bed in the morning onto a soft, cushioned cloud of carpet. It absorbs the noise of footsteps, paws, rolling chairs, and vacuums. And thanks to advancements in modern technology, many of the issues that once made homeowners shy away from carpeting — like maintenance, durability, and fading — have been rendered obsolete.
