Each room in your home has its own personality and purpose — and that should be reflected in the flooring and window furnishings you choose. At Carpet One Lithgow, we help you find the perfect combination of style, practicality, and comfort to suit every space. We have helped hundreds of customers successfully decorate their homes throughout the Lithgow, NSW region.
Kids' Rooms
Flooring
When it comes to kids' rooms, practicality and safety are essential. Young children spend a lot of time playing on the floor, so soft, cushioned flooring is ideal. Carpet provides warmth and comfort, making it a great surface for crawling, sitting, and playing. Look for carpets that are stain-resistant and durable, able to withstand spills and rough play. For school-aged children or teens, hybrid or vinyl plank flooring offers a more modern look while being easy to clean and maintain — especially great for arts and crafts or after-school mess.
Curtains & Blinds
Window furnishings in kids’ rooms should be both functional and safe. Blackout blinds or curtains help regulate sleeping patterns by keeping out early morning light or harsh afternoon sun. Cordless roller blinds, Roman blinds, or safety-rated curtains are smart choices that eliminate hazards. You might also consider fun colours or themed designs to personalise their space while still providing insulation and privacy.
Living Rooms
Flooring
The living room is the heart of the home — where the family gathers, guests are welcomed, and everyday life unfolds. That’s why this space needs flooring that’s both attractive and hard-wearing. Hybrid and timber flooring offer timeless appeal and durability and are easy to clean, which is ideal for high-traffic areas. They also pair beautifully with area rugs, which add comfort and help define different zones within an open-plan space. If you’re after extra softness, plush carpet creates a cosy, luxurious atmosphere perfect for relaxing and entertaining.
Curtains & Blinds
In living rooms, layered window furnishings give you maximum flexibility with light, privacy, and design. Sheer curtains bring softness and daytime privacy, while blackout drapes or roller blinds let you darken the room for movie nights or prevent glare on screens. Consider the style of your space — natural linen sheers for a coastal look or structured panel blinds for a modern, clean feel. Insulated window coverings also help with temperature control, making your living space more energy-efficient.
Bedrooms
Flooring
A bedroom should be your peaceful retreat at the end of a long day — and your flooring plays a big part in creating that sense of calm. Carpet remains the top choice thanks to its quiet, soft, and warm qualities. It reduces noise, making for a restful atmosphere, and it’s particularly nice to step onto on cold mornings. If you prefer hard flooring like timber, laminate, or vinyl, adding a thick, soft rug near the bed is a great way to combine comfort with style.
Curtains & Blinds
Sleep quality depends on more than just your mattress — the right window furnishings make a huge difference too. Blockout curtains or blinds are essential for blocking light and helping regulate room temperature. Sheer curtains underneath add elegance and let in gentle daylight when needed. Motorised options are growing in popularity for master bedrooms, allowing you to control your light with the touch of a button. Choose tones and textures that enhance the tranquil mood of your room — soft neutrals and layered fabrics work especially well.
Kitchens & Dining
Flooring
These are high-use areas that demand practicality — and style. Your kitchen and dining areas are often exposed to food spills, dropped utensils, and heavy foot traffic. That’s why vinyl, hybrid, and laminate flooring are some of the most popular options here. They’re all easy to clean, water-resistant, and offer a wide range of looks, from timber textures to stone finishes. Timber flooring can also be used if properly sealed and maintained, creating a seamless transition to adjoining living spaces.
Curtains & Blinds
For kitchen and dining zones, low-maintenance and wipeable window furnishings are key. Go for roller blinds, Venetians, or vertical blinds made from moisture-resistant materials that can handle splashes and cooking residue. If you want to soften the space, consider combining blinds with light sheers in the dining area to add texture and ambience during meals. Avoid heavy drapes or fabrics near cooktops or windows above sinks, and consider day-night blinds for adjustable privacy and light throughout the day.
Bathrooms
Flooring
Bathrooms require flooring that can handle constant moisture, humidity, and slips. Vinyl sheet flooring or vinyl planks are top choices — they’re fully water-resistant, non-slip, and available in an array of modern styles. While tiles are another traditional choice, vinyl is increasingly favoured for its warmer feel underfoot and quicker installation. Look for products designed specifically for wet areas to ensure longevity and safety.
Curtains & Blinds
In bathrooms, privacy and water resistance are essential. Avoid heavy fabric curtains, which can retain moisture and attract mould. Instead, choose PVC or aluminium blinds, waterproof roller blinds, or faux wood Venetians. These materials can withstand steam and splashes while still offering privacy. If you want a softer look, use a moisture-resistant sheer in a powder room with good ventilation. Be sure to check the manufacturer’s recommendation on water exposure for any window treatment you’re considering.
Hallways
Flooring
Often overlooked, hallways are some of the most heavily trafficked areas in any home. This means your flooring here needs to be extremely durable and easy to clean. Hybrid flooring, vinyl planks, or laminate are great options that can handle the wear and tear of daily life — especially if you have kids or pets. If you prefer carpet, go for a low-pile, stain-resistant style or add a runner rug to protect hard floors and introduce a pop of personality to the space.
Curtains & Blinds
If your hallway includes windows or glass doors, use minimalist window furnishings that complement the space without crowding it. Roller blinds, translucent shades, or plantation shutters can enhance natural light while maintaining privacy. Stick with light-filtering materials and colours that open up the space and make your hallways feel larger and more connected to the rest of the home.
