Carpets have long been a convenient, practical and at the same time decorative element of the interior.
But before choosing this accessory, there are some things to consider.
Form
Considering that carpets bring warmth to a room and decorate the interior, few people can do without them, says Yulia Tychino .
But a carpet, like any interior detail, should not be bought just like that; it should be selected according to your furniture, the color of the room, and the area of the room.
Analyze what shape of carpet will make your room more interesting and original.
After all, you can buy not only standard rectangular carpets, but also round, oval, hexagonal ones. Such carpets will undoubtedly add originality and style to your interior.
Color
When choosing a color, you should consider the style of the apartment and the color of the furniture. If your living room is neutral, then a carpet of any color will suit you. In principle, the choice of color scheme of the carpet depends on the taste and desire of the owner.
If you are planning to lay a carpet in the hallway, then you should give preference to dark tones, as this will be more practical.
Carpet size
When buying a rug, make sure that its size will fit into your room. It is best to initially measure the area of the room in which you want to lay the rug.
Carpet fibers
Ask the seller what material the carpet fibers are made of.
If your family budget is small, then you can vote in favor of synthetic fibers (polypropylene, polyester, polyamide, nylon), which will not cost you so much.
If quality is your top priority, not price, then choose carpets made of natural fibers (made of wool, bamboo, silk, coconut). Keep in mind that most carpets are of mixed fiber types.
To avoid surprises and disappointment in your purchase, ask the seller or study the label of the interior item you are buying.
