Q: Can you make my carpet seams invisible?
A: In most cases, your carpet seams should not be noticeable. Of course, this will depend upon the type of carpet you have selected, the placement of the seams, the way light hits the seams and the workmanship.
Before you buy your carpet, it is a good idea to discuss how and where the carpet will be seamed with your contractor. In most cases it is advisable to purchase a few more yards of carpet to eliminate some seams.
