How much carpet does your room need?
Carpet is sold by the linear yard off a 13'6" roll, so square footage alone won't tell you the price. Give us your room and we'll work out the real number.
Give us your room and we’ll work out the linear yards, what it costs, and where the seams land — then set the quantity for you.

402-957-3842Mayfair Home Theater Carpet — Front Row Collection
Interlocking circles on a near-black ground — the tightest repeat in the collection, and the least wasteful carpet here to seam.
A dark geometric of overlapping rings, outlined in gold and set against black. Three colorways. The repeat is 18 inches, which makes Mayfair the most forgiving pattern in this range for a small or awkwardly shaped room.
What this fixes
Most theater carpet is sold on looks alone, and buyers find out about pattern repeat when the installer hands them a bill for the extra yardage. Every seam in a patterned carpet costs you one full repeat of material to line the design up.
On a 40.5" pattern that's over three feet of carpet thrown away per seam. On Mayfair it's eighteen inches. If your room is wider than the 13'6" roll — meaning you are getting a seam whether you like it or not — that difference is real money.
Will this pattern work in your room?
Mayfair repeats every 18 inches in both directions. Small-scale, dense, and it reads as texture from standing height rather than as a statement print.
| Room | How Mayfair reads |
|---|---|
| Small room, under 12' | Ideal, and the best value here. A tight repeat fits a small floor without the pattern being cut off mid-motif at the walls. |
| Medium room, 12'–15' | Works well. Busy enough to hide traffic and spills, restrained enough not to fight your seating or acoustic panels. |
| Large dedicated theater over 20' | Still fine, but on a very large floor the small repeat can read as flat. Gatsby or Acanthus will carry the space better. |
Send us your room dimensions and we'll tell you how the repeat lands and where your seams fall — no charge, and no obligation to buy.
Picking between Azure, Ruby and Smoke
Azure is teal-blue over black with gold rings — the coolest and most contemporary of the three, and the one that sits best next to grey or black acoustic treatment. Ruby is the traditional picture-palace red. Smoke is the quietest option, where the geometry drops back and the floor behaves as a dark texture.
All three sit on a near-black ground, which is the one thing a theater carpet has to get right — a light floor bounces screen light straight back up into your eyeline.
Why theater carpet, not household carpet
Residential carpet is built for foot traffic in a hallway. Theater carpet is built for a room where people eat, drink and spill in the dark, then leave the same chairs parked in the same spots for years.
Premium WearOn® Nylon resists soil, stains, wear and matting, and the printed pattern hides the crumbs and drink rings that a plain cut pile puts on display.
Fire rating — read this if you're finishing a basement
Class 1 fire rated and CRI Green Label Plus certified for low VOC emissions.
If your theater is in a finished basement or anywhere subject to inspection, this matters — many residential carpets are not Class 1. Building codes vary by jurisdiction and are applied inconsistently, so confirm with your local fire marshal or building inspector before installing. We can supply the manufacturer's test documentation on request.

Shipping
Broadloom ships on a 13'6" wide roll and moves as freight, not parcel. Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your address and the quantity you order.
Before you order
Order the whole room at once. Carpet is dyed in batches, and a roll cut from a later production run will not match exactly. Ordering the full quantity in one go is the only way to guarantee a consistent floor.
Add for pattern match and waste. A patterned carpet has to line up across a seam, so the usable yardage is less than the raw square footage of your room. Tell us your dimensions and we'll do the takeoff properly rather than have you guess.
Warranty is per Joy Carpets' current published schedule — ask us and we'll send you the document that applies to this style.
