Choose The Perfect Carpet Color With The White Paper Trick - Capell Flooring

So when buying carpet or other flooring, this is a little trick I learned from my mother a long time ago. And it helps a lot.

If you're looking at a particular carpet sample here, and you're looking at the colors. First, it's always important to take the carpet sample out and lay it on the floor like so. Because you'll have the light refracting from it, it's essential to see it that way.

The other thing, too, is it's tough to pick a color this way. Or one thing that you're aware of is, let's say, for example, you like this color; your eye is a fantastic thing. It will process all the colors around it. And sometimes, it can make selecting an actual carpet a little complicated or more challenging.

So if you take an ordinary piece of white paper, grab it from your printer. And what you do is you put white paper around one carpet color at a time that you're interested in. So you cover it up like this. And you'll take a look at it, and you can ask yourself, "Okay, do I like this color or not?"

This process helps in the selection process because when you put the white paper around the other carpet sample colors, it voids all the different colors. And what happens is if you don't have that, your eye jumps around and applies other colors to the sample you like, even though you're unaware of it. If you do not do this, your eyes will take in all the other colors around it. And it can make it difficult or sometimes challenging to pick a color.

The other thing you can do, too, here is ... so you, like, look at one, and you go like, "Okay, well, I'm going to compare it to this one." You can look at it like that. And cover it up with white paper. The other thing, too, you need to do when buying carpet, and it's essential to, if you can, stand up and step back about five, ten feet. You then look at the samples this way; that's how you will see the carpet on a large scale.

It will help because the light will refract from it, and that's how you'll see it. For example, if you look closely at this carpet, there are probably about five or six different colors. But your eye will blend it when it becomes on a large scale. So I highly recommend using this white paper trick when picking out a carpet color.
