Cut Pile
Cut Pile is the most popular type of carpeting.  It is made from polyester or nylon and the soft texture that results from cutting the fiber loops gives a traditional plush texture. 

Berber
Berber is a carpet that leaves the loops intact resulting in a soft, nubby surface.  It is made from olefin fiber and the color accents in many combinations give you a flexibility not found in solid colors. 

Patterned
Patterned carpet is built with a variety of attractive geometric designs using both cut and closed loops. 

Frieze
Frieze carpets have a longer pile which gives it a relaxed, contemporary look.  It is very popular for bedrooms.  As with berber, many color tones are available for your decor.
