Carpet and flooring in Brunswick East
Brunswick East runs from Lygon Street to the Merri Creek, about 6 km north of the CBD and 26 km by road from our Huntingdale showroom. Subdivision began in the 1880s, and today its period homes share the streets with apartments, townhouses and units, close to the Lygon Street shops and trams, CERES and the Brunswick Velodrome.
Whatever the home, choosing the colour is often the hardest part of buying carpet.
Choosing a carpet colour
- Mid-tones are the most forgiving. Very light carpet shows dirt and very dark carpet shows lint and dust; a mid-grey, taupe or oatmeal hides both.
- Flecked and heathered carpets, with a mix of tones in the yarn, disguise everyday marks better than a single flat colour.
- Check the undertone. Greys can lean warm or cool, and beiges can lean pink or yellow. Hold the sample against your walls, timber and furniture, not just in the shop light.
- Lighter colours open up small rooms, while deeper tones make a big room feel cosier.

Questions about flooring in Brunswick East
Will the carpet look the same at home as the sample?
Colour changes with the light, which is why we bring samples to your home: you see them in your own rooms, by day and with the lights on.
Should every room have the same carpet colour?
It usually looks best. One colour through the bedrooms and hallway makes the home feel connected, and it avoids colour changes at every doorway.
Can I choose the carpet before the walls are painted?
Yes. Bring your paint chips to the measure, or choose the carpet first and pick paint to suit; carpet comes in far fewer colours than paint.
Why CarpetAce
We’re not like other flooring stores. In many stores the person who measures and quotes never lays a floor, and the job is handed to an installer on a work order. Tony Chalhoub, a carpet installer for more than 20 years, founded CarpetAce in 2010 so that every job is measured and quoted by people who know how to install it.
We’re family-owned, with more than 40 years in flooring, and rated 5.0 from more than 300 Google reviews.
How a job runs
It starts with a phone call or an enquiry. We arrange a time for the free measure, Monday to Saturday between 7am and 7pm, and bring the mobile showroom so you can compare samples in your own light. Your written quote is emailed within 24 hours of the measure. When you’re ready, our installation team lays the floor, and we can take up the old one and move the furniture first.
