We are looking for a new carpet for our redesigned lounge.

I always thought that 80% wool, 20% man made carpets were best. But, whilst out shopping today, we popped into a carpet shop where most were made of polypropylene even expensive ones.

Any comments or advice please.

I think we are going for polypropylene! shock They are lovely to walk on. And the moth stories are a worry.

easily replaced area rugs

Yes, we did think of that and having underfloor heating but rugs can be a tripping hazard.
Especially for older people and those who could trip over their own feet.

I know I said upthread that we would consider that, but in fact I don't think we would do it.
