Carpets in the Sale in January?

Hi

i need to get some new carpets, a lot of the big chain places already have 50% sales.

Does anybody know or remember from last year if the sales in January are any better. Am i likely to get more than 50% off?

Any recomendations for places to shop.

Thanks for your help.

    To be honest I think carpet sales are about the biggest con out. you can pretty much always get a sale price and it never seems to change all that much.

    i always go to carpet right to be honest. i just buy the carpet and get a friend to provide underlay and fit it.
    i save an absolute fortune this way.
    the sales seem to be genuine there as i went to get a carpet to match the stairs and it had gone up in price from what i paid for it.
    sales on throughout the year there too.
    i always get good quality as they last so much longer.

    To be safe, I would avoid the big chains, go for the independents, haggle hard and leave with your carpet.

    Carpet-right is part of the Harveys group, who I would imagine are likely to be one of the first in the furnishings group to go down. They are not the most reliable of companies at the best of times.

    never had a problem with carpet right and always been reliable, do your homework.

    pick a carpet independently, then compare the price of it elsewhere.

  • I see that www.urbaneliving.co.uk have a sale on natural carpets (they only do 100% wool and sisal, seagrasses, coir etc though). Also try www.mydeco.com as they also have a sale on with a number of retailers
  • Just checked carpetright website who say there is 60% sale on now and if you check there website they give details of newspapers with extra 20% vouchers, plus you can apply for a further 10% voucher code from their website.

    Hope this helps.
