Carpet is the one floor you feel before you see. Bare feet on a February morning in Peoria? That's the whole sales pitch.
Columbia Rug Carpet One Floor & Home has sold carpet in Peoria since 1935. Rug is in our name. We help you pick it, we measure the room, and we install it.
Peoria has both. A lot of the houses on the West Bluff and in the older neighborhoods have stairs that turn, landings, and rooms that aren't square. Newer homes out toward Dunlap and Germantown Hills have open plans and big bonus rooms.
Both change how carpet should be cut and seamed. We look at the layout when we measure, so the seams land where you won't notice them.
Showroom lights aren't your lights. Take samples home. Look at them next to your walls, your trim and your couch, in daylight and at night.
We make custom area rugs from carpet. Match a room's carpet in a runner for the hall, or turn a remnant into a rug for the den. See custom area rugs.

One of the most important factors when buying carpet is the fiber type, which affects performance, softness, style, and appearance. Beyond color, you'll want a carpet built to handle your lifestyle. Common carpet fibers include nylon, polyester, triexta, olefin/polypropylene, and wool.
Most homeowners like to install carpet in spaces of their homes where they relax. You can install carpet in your bedroom, living room, home office, and children’s playrooms. Carpets built to be durable, such as stain-resistant options, are perfect for high-traffic areas in your home, like hallways. A carpet is much warmer than hardwood flooring, making it perfect for warming your feet on chilly winter mornings. As your local carpet experts, we recommend avoiding carpet installation in areas such as entryways, kitchens, and bathrooms due to the risk of moisture damage.
Being ready to install your new carpet can make the process faster and more efficient. Our first piece of advice is to opt for professional installers with years of experience. We hire outside contractors to do our installations, and trust them to do the job right for you. Below are some of the basic installation things you need to know:
Yes, the proper carpet padding can dramatically extend the life of your carpet by guarding against spills and adding density. Think of carpet cushion as the protective layer for your carpet: it lets you worry a little less about your floor and live a little more.
First, you’ll need to choose a cushion material. You can choose from rubber, foam, fiber, and different thicknesses and densities. Opt for a thin, dense cushion to absorb the impact if you’re installing in a room with high-volume foot traffic.
