Carpet is a delicate matter! Or 4 golden rules to help you choose the best flooring

Once upon a time, carpets were rare, found only in the homes of rich and very influential people. Today, everyone can pick up and buy this type of flooring. Fortunately, the choice is very diverse: square and round, natural and artificial, bright and monophonic, designer and factory ...

Good afternoon dear friends!

In this connection, it is easy to get confused in such a huge assortment and buy the wrong product. And the carpet, as you know, is acquired for a long time! Therefore, so that you do not get into a mess and choose a floor covering that would meet all your wishes and requirements (it was in perfect harmony with the style of the interior, corresponded to the size of the space, it was easy to clean, etc.), I prepared this small but useful material.

By the way, I would like to tell you one little working advice in advance: if in doubt, choose a rectangular or square rug Is a win-win option.

1.Balance with the environment. Two opposite approaches are possible when choosing a carpet. The first is to harmonize it with the style of the room's interior (with walls, furniture, accessories ...). The second involves the creation of a bright contrasting spot, which will attract the eye / attention to itself. In any of these methods, the main thing is to choose the right colors (no more than three) and not to abuse the patterns on the floor, especially if the main emphasis has already been placed on other parts of the room.

A rug is a chic decorative element that can revive a space overnight. For example, to inject color, add visual interest and create a unique aura in a room, decorated in a classic style, use a product with an extravagant pattern or unusual forms. This step will help you add flavor to the interior without breaking the overall harmony and style!

2.Proportionality and location. Ask yourself what will be the functional purpose of the carpet? Is it a warm coating on a cold floor, or is it a "means" for delimiting and zoning space? The main purpose will be of importance in determining the size and shape of the product you need.

The format of the carpet is determined based on the parameters of the room and the furniture in it. The main thing is to observe proportionality! A small carpet will be lost against the background of a large sofa and a coffee table. Conversely, it is best to avoid large floor coverings in a small space.

Also, keep in mind that the edge of the rug should always be hidden under a sofa, sideboard or table. Ideally, all the front legs of the furniture must be on it.

3.Floor covering material. Another extremely important nuance! Since it directly affects not only the operational properties of the product, but also its price. So, carpets are made from natural wool, vegetable (bamboo, jute, linen) and synthetic fibers (polypropylene, polyester). For example, rugs made from natural materials are the most expensive. They are pleasant to the touch and have the most dense structure.

While synthetic flooring is suitable for use in busy rooms. They are easier to care for, easy to wash and withstand minor everyday accidents well. Therefore, they are suitable for families with children or pets.

4.Care of the product. Life is not easy for a carpet! Food regularly falls on him, various drinks are spilled, children play on them and animals fool around. From this they quickly get dirty and require constant care. But we live in the 21st century, and almost all carpets are cleaned well with modern vacuum cleaners. For a more thorough cleaning, you can use a household steam cleaner.

But the frequency of washing will depend on the material and color quality. Therefore, carefully read the instructions before buying it!
