How to choose the perfect carpet for your living room?
It is known that a properly selected carpet for the living room will give our space expression, will perfectly complement the arrangement or will be a dominant element of the decor. Before we decide which specific model to choose, it is worth paying attention to several important selection criteria. Especially since the variety of patterns, colors, sizes can make your head spin.
A rug that matches the style of your interior
The main principles of choosing a carpet for the arrangement of space in our living room are to avoid overload and to maintain the established color palette of the interior. We create a coherent composition in terms of style. We combine modern carpets with furniture of contemporary design. We complement retro interiors with antique equipment with a carpet in a traditional pattern.
In a large interior, we can afford to combine different trends, which is often a surprising but very effective proposition, e.g. in a minimalist interior, a strongly geometric accent can enrich the design in a unique way and emphasize some of its elements.
Color and pattern selection
A carpet in vivid colors will brighten up any interior. Shades of yellow or orange will introduce a sunny accent to the interior. For a small room, choose a light carpet that will optically enlarge the interior. A richly decorated living room will be perfectly softened by a single-color, subdued carpet. Remember that a carpet in an original pattern can become the main decoration of the room.
Functional and practical carpet
The easiest to maintain are not too thick carpets with a short pile and a non-slip backing. Such a carpet will not slide on the floor, which is a desirable feature in a home with children to ensure the safety of the youngest. It is worth trying to buy carpets from the easy-to-clean group, which are comfortable and practical to use. They are easy to clean, without damaging the structure of the carpet.
Each of us has different expectations towards a carpet as an element of interior design. Some people perceive a carpet mainly as a way to insulate from the cold floor, while others treat a carpet as an important element of interior design. For some of us, a carpet is supposed to be a subtle complement to the arrangement, an unobtrusive neutral element that mainly serves practical functions. For others, a carpet in an interior is perceived as the "cherry on the cake", giving the arrangement a personal, unique character. Regardless of our goal, the quality of the carpet is important - its workmanship, finish, resistance to dirt and ease of cleaning.
