Carpet advice please.

1.I have been advised a wool carpet for the bedroom and box room is around £30 /m2. Is that about right.
2.Is it okay to join a carpet. I can get an offcut for the box room 2m square for £90, but it needs a join.

thanks
( from someone who has never bought a carpet)

A carpet fitter can join a carpet and you would never find the cut .
Take it you are thinking DIY

As its a small bed room ., and you know the furniture arrangement , I would certainly have a go . Would be better if the join was not near the door. Would it be possible to join under the bed?? then it would be very easy.

£30/m2 seems okay if including fitting.

I have a join in the hall and it is very obvious.

I'm not doing it myself. The join will be on the carpet in the spare room, nowhere to hide it i'm afraid.

Includes everything.
The sales lady tried to push me to synthetic, but i always prefer natural materials. Is this misplaced?

We recently did a bedroom and were all up for 80/20 wool. However the best colour match for the new decor was with a synthetic. Our fitter suggested it would be fine with good underlay. We had dream walk underlay and synthetic carpet fitted for an unbeatable price and we love it. Everyone who visits likes it. TBH you can't tell it's artificial. We have kids so its nice to know any stains will clean up.
