HI Emily Carpeting bedrooms is only dictated by your budget. The only variable is the price of the carpet, all other costs (installation, smoothedge, underlay) will be the same no matter what you choose. When you say remove wooden floors....do you know what is already installed? If you are only wanting to take the wood from the bedrooms but leave it in hallways etc, then the cost to remove wood planks (laminate?) may be around $20 per m2... A lot depends on how the timber was installed, so I think it's best to get in a professional and get a free quote. Good luck.

I think the brands you have listed are good! What colour were you thinking? How have you gotten the opportunity to import carpet? I hope it's not too expensive for you!

We are building a new house, and want charcoal carpet. Not tending to brown nor a dark greeny shade... a proper light black. Has anyone from NZ got any brand or color they could recommend? Photos would be helpful too. We have chosen light honey wooden floorboards for the kitchen & scullery, and black tiles in bathroom, and greyish tiles in the ensuites... Getting nerves it is not going to all tie in....

I'm not in Auckland, but the very best carpet cleaners we've used are Jae. I hope this helps.
