Shopping for carpet in Indianapolis is a hands-on experience with Kermans

Shopping for carpet is something nearly everyone has to do at some point in their life. New home in Zionsville? Finished basement in Carmel? Worn out living room in Fishers? New carpet is likely on the list in each of those circumstances. But how do you shop for carpet?

Step one: Do your research

There are many different types of carpet out there. Berber, loop, plush... which one is best for your lifestyle? Which one comes in the color and style that matches your decor? Which one do you like the best? Walking into a carpet store can be overwhelming from this very first step. Unless that carpet store is Kermans. We pride ourselves on providing service that is above and beyond what you'll find in any other store in Central Indiana. You won't be wandering aisles aimlessly, grabbing a few samples and leaving. At Kermans, you'll have access to our free design staff who can explain all the different types of carpet and talk about the pros and cons of each.

Step two: Bring samples home

The carpet that you fall in love with in the showroom may not be the same one you like in your living room. You need to see how it looks next to your furniture and walls. You need to see how it appears in natural light and lamplight. You need to walk on it, feel it and even live with it for a few days. When you narrow down your selections, we'll be happy to give you some samples to take home. Don't like any of them? Bring them back and we'll help you come up with a new option. Shopping for carpet should literally be a hands (and feet)-on experience.

Step three: Compare prices

Go ahead, compare the prices you'll find at Kermans. Along with our free installation on selected carpet styles, free pad upgrade on minimum orders of 100 sq. yd. of carpet, free measurement service and free on-site design consultant.

Two new trends in tile

People in Indianapolis are starting to look at tile more often as a floor choice. Central Indiana residents are recognizing that tile fits in more places than the kitchen and bathroom. Yes, tile is still one of the most functional floor options available - it's easy to maintain and holds up against wear and tear extremely well. However, tile has come a long way from the 12 inch, off-white tiles you used to see in every kitchen or foyer. Tile is officially an enhancement to your home's design.

Glass Tile

One of the hottest trends in the tile market today is glass. It adds a sparkle and depth of color that you just can't find in traditional ceramic tile. As an added bonus, many glass tiles are made from recycled materials so they are friendly to the environment as well as your decor.

Glass tile is available in a wide range of sizes and colors so it fits in nearly any style home. Some of our clients are using glass as an accent - perhaps as a kitchen backsplash or shower wall. Other clients are using it more creatively in their floor or entire rooms.

Metal Tile

Stainless steel, bronze and copper are popping up in more than just appliances or fixtures. Small metal tiles are bringing a whole new look to many Indy-area kitchens and bathrooms. One of the beauties of metal tile is that the finish can complement both traditional and contemporary designs. Metal tiles are often used in different shapes than traditional tiles - pebble, round or varied sizes. Metal can add a truly unique look to any room.
