Coastal home carpeting

last modified: last year

Hi! I’m looking for some help with choosing carpeting for our beach house great room, hallway and bedrooms. We have a four bedroom condo that is all one floor. We do have hardwood in the dining area and kitchen but I like carpets in the other areas. It helps with noise which is nice when others are sleeping. I want a low pile carpet that has a beachy feel to it. I also need something that will hold up in the high traffic areas. There will be occassional stays with babies and dogs also. I’ve been told nylon is a good choice. I love the Masland carpets but we are covering a very large area and looking for something similar that may have a better price point since our home is only used about 4 months out of the year. I appreciate any thoughts or advice you can send my way! ☀️🏝️🌊

In a recent beach house refurbishing, I decided on the synthetic sisal that I saw in a five star resort nearby. I found it in all different patterns. It came in a 12’ width and any “length” I wanted. It could be surge bound OR bound with canvas like a natural sisal. I love it and now have it in my living and dining rooms, and two bedrooms, including my Master. On hardwood floors. I far prefer it to natural sisal. It is easier to clean. And wears like iron. No spots show on it. Yes, it requires a pad. It can be vacuumed and scrubbed. And because it can be cut to order, you can get the size you want. I had mine surged, not bound with canvas. Less chance for stains and spots.

Masland carpet is wonderful, but I have another idea for you. Look into Stanton Anywhere. It's an indoor/outdoor rug, comes off the bolt at 13'. Lots of colors/patterns and very beachy, but a bit more sophisticated. It is the 13' that is the issue, however. The carpet can't be seamed, unlike wool or nylon. So if your rooms are wider than 13', it won't work for you. Examples, and I am using this site only to show you what is available in any showroom that carries Stanton.

I'm in the NE. We found one installer through the Everlast website (a larger firm that specializes in siding and roofing); however, as with most projects (at least at our house), it's not straightforward and we needed the gutters taken down (and re-installed) and fascia replaced, etc. and this big firm was not willing to do those details. So I found a local, experienced GC who has done similar work (it installs similar to vinyl) who was willing to do it (as well as the other work needed) and so far, so good. He did contact and work with the Everlast rep. We initiated about a year ago and our job just came up in his list about 2 weeks ago to start. So in that time, he said he's heard of more interest in Everlast. I don't know what's considered "budget" or not; I do know we were having trouble finding painters willing to deal with all the issues our old siding was having (and our last paint job was $$$ IMHO), and this will alleviate our having to do a painting rodeo every 8 years (again, just what our house was needing). Will the woodpeckers still peck holes in it? dunno. I do know it's not going to blister, peel, warp or crack. Knock on wood. Everlast does have a board and batten profile; the GC has commented he likes that it is not bendy at all (like vinyl) and each plank/board interlocks and there is no flex, cannot pull it away from the wall at all. So not sure if that's helpful for winds, etc.

I really like the color scheme in your post, and it fits the Beau Coast community from what I have seen on our last trip home. That being said, Nothing about this housing development is traditional Beaufort, NC or even the greater Eastern NC/outer banks in either scale of homes or colors. So, it is all up to your personal preference. Staying in the muted pastels will help you avoid needing to repaint as soon. The salt air is harsh.

Help with exterior paint colors to update "tall & skinny" coastal home

All great comments! Stone is mostly tans/beiges with hints of white and grey. We've done a light and a dark tan (current color), which could have "aged" the look of the old facade. I was thinking a grey tone would give an update. A balcony with additional lights would definitely improve the look but alas that costs more than our budget. Thank you for the spot-on pic as inspiration for some day. Our door is like that in the pic, except on the left side.

dormom, did you see all of the paint colors I posted in my earlier comment? do you like the two behr colors on porch photo? (Watery and Blueprint) Take a look and see what you think. here are some others too How about either of these? For the white, use SW pure White, BM- decorators white or oxford white. Behr, just use their brightest white. In fact, when you get the paint can off the shelf, just have them add the squirts of white tint to the can and no other color. you could also get a color match in the Behr paint w/these BM or SW colors. they won't be exact, but they'll be close enough. I used Behr on my home Get their $3 sample pots first and try out the colors

IMO wall to wall carpet anywhere near water is just a place lloking for mold to grow. Get some nice area rugs you can roll up and take with you or at least srore tem somewhere less humid.

We are replacing carpets that have been down for about 9 years and do not have any mold issues with them.

Hello! I can definitely help you with choosing carpeting for your beach house.

Firstly, choosing a low pile carpet is a good idea for high traffic areas, as it will hold up better over time. Nylon is also a good choice as it is durable and can withstand wear and tear. Additionally, it is easy to clean and maintain.

As for finding a carpet with a beachy feel, there are several options to consider. Neutral colors such as beige, gray, and light blue can create a beachy vibe. You may also want to consider patterns that incorporate beach themes such as shells, sand, or waves.

In terms of brands that offer carpets with a beachy feel, Mohawk and Shaw are two popular brands that offer a range of styles and price points. You may want to consider looking at their collections to see if any fit your preferences and budget.

Another option is to look for carpets made from natural materials such as wool or sisal, which can also give a beachy feel. However, they may not be as durable as nylon and may require more maintenance.

Ultimately, it's important to choose a carpet that fits your style and budget while also being practical for your high traffic areas. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
