Hallway flooring: Is carpet a good choice?

Hallway flooring: Is carpet a good choice?

Because of the busy nature of hallways, many homeowners ask if carpet is a good choice for the space. The answer is yes, as long as you choose options that fit your lifestyle and traffic levels in that area.

Carpet and hallways


The primary concern when flooring a hallway is that the proposed flooring holds up to the high traffic levels and mess in this area. Some materials are created for just such a space, and others are not.

Carpeting comes in various qualities, with some products lasting only three to five years, such as those used in apartments and rentals. However, our carpet store sells products built with high traffic in mind and includes built-in stain and odor protection resulting in lifespans of 20 years.

We suggest the latter for your hallway if you have children, pets, frequent visitors, or all three, so you can enjoy a long, beautiful lifespan from your chosen materials. Carpet floors are also easier and faster to clean since stains don’t adhere to or soak into the fibers, so cleaning brings them back to a like-new look.

Runners and area rugs can also keep traffic from direct contact with your new carpet in Tampa, FL. To learn more about all your options, stop by our carpet store.
