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.

402-957-3842Moderne Home Theater Carpet — Front Row Collection
Deco styling on a tighter, more linear repeat — the version that suits a normal-sized room.
A streamlined Art Deco pattern with a half-drop repeat: 20.25" across, 40.5" along the roll. Same three saturated colorways as Gatsby, but the motif is smaller and more directional.
What this fixes
A dark room with a plain floor shows everything — traffic paths from the door to the seats, drink rings, dropped food — and you see all of it with the lights up between films.
Moderne's tighter repeat breaks the surface up more frequently than a large-scale print, so wear and soil disappear into the pattern faster. It's the more forgiving choice in a room where the seats never move and the same path gets walked every night.
Will this pattern work in your room?
Pattern scale is the thing people get wrong. Moderne repeats every 20.25 inches across the roll and 40.5 inches along it, so it reads as a mid-scale, directional pattern.
| Room | How Moderne reads |
|---|---|
| Medium room, 12'–15' | Ideal. The 20.25" cross-roll repeat means you see the whole motif even in a normal-width room. |
| Large theater | Works, though Gatsby or Acanthus will feel more substantial across a very wide floor. |
| Long, narrow media room | Good — the directional repeat runs with the length of the room rather than fighting it. |
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.
Where the directional repeat matters
Because the repeat is half as wide as it is long, Moderne has a grain. Run it with the length of the room and it visually stretches the space toward the screen — useful in a room that's wider than it is deep.
It also means seam placement matters more than with a square repeat. Send us your dimensions before you order and we'll lay out the seams so they fall where the seating hides them.
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. The dark, low-sheen palette also keeps the floor from bouncing screen light back up at your eyeline — which is exactly why cinemas have used patterned dark carpet for a century.
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.
