This carpet is plush to the touch and has a luxurious feel. In the making of this style, each yarn was created using a uniform twist and finish. That is why this carpet style is perfect for a master bedroom, dining room, or a formal living room.
With its uniformity, it easily shows footprints and vacuum streaks which is why it is not recommended in high traffic areas.
