Carpets in the interior

The opinion that carpets in the interior perform a purely aesthetic function, but still collect dust and dirt, is mistaken. Carpets are good for heat and sound insulation of the floor. Many do not like to walk around the house in slippers, and on the carpet you can safely walk barefoot or in socks, not being afraid that your feet will freeze. In addition, the carpet mutes the sounds of footsteps to the joy of neighbors from below.

But, of course, no one canceled the aesthetic function of carpets either. Carpets in the interior help to make the room more comfortable, the original carpet can become a bright accent in the design of the room. But that carpets in the interior have served you for a long time, you need to choose the right carpet.

Carpets vary in type of production (factory and manual), material (natural materials and synthetics) and length of pile. Of course, carpets of natural materials(cotton, wool, silk) handmade look better and last longer, but they are worth a lot. Therefore, if the finance does not allow you to buy a natural carpet, you can do with synthetics.

Quality synthetic carpets in the interiorcan look no worse than natural, and even with proper care can last about fifteen years. But there is one nuance. Synthetic carpets can be glued and woven. Woven serve much longer. On the back of the woven carpet there are nodules and threads, a cloth is glued to the back of the adhesive carpet. Choose woven carpets, the life of the glue is usually not more than three years.

Deciding to use carpets in the interior of the room, pay attention to the length of the pile. The longer the pile, the more care the carpet requires and the faster it wipes. Carpets with a short nap is better to put incorridor or hallway, carpets with medium napes are suitable for the living room, children's and other living rooms with great traffic. But for a bedroom a carpet with a long nap is good - it is very cozy, and the patency in the bedroom is usually not too big, so the carpet will last longer.

Also, carpets in the interior should fit organically into your chosen interior design style. For example, if a room is decorated in country style,it is better to stop the choice on rough multicolored mats and rugs. Adherents of the English style in the interior should pay attention to carpets of rich reddish, green or wine color. Carpets with roses are also good for English interior.

For the European direction in the design of carpets in general, a floral theme - images of flowers, buds, ribbons, vases. For example, in an interior in the Art Nouveau style, a beige or sandy carpet with the colors of lily, lotus or iris will look great. And for the interior in eco-style, not carpets, but coarse wicker mats will do. Although you can lay a carpet, the pile of which resembles green grass.

In the eastern (Arabian) interior, one can not do without variegated patterned carpets reminiscent of luxurious palaces and harems. In general, if you prefer an ethnic interior, you need choose a carpet according to the national style of the country, the traditional interior of which you want to reproduce.

Carpets in the interior of some styles are not traditionallyare used. These styles include, for example, the style of high-tech. However, if the room decorated in this style seems too cold and uncomfortable for you, then you can use the carpet to revive it a little. But it is better to choose a carpet with short and medium nap of discreet coloring. Agree, a cheerful and bright patterned rug in such an interior will look inappropriate.

Carpets in the interior can be the link thatwill combine the interior into one whole, and can - bright accents, it all depends on how you use the carpet. The main thing is to focus on one thing: either on the carpet (then the rest of the room should look as neutral as possible), or on other design items (then the carpet should be neutral). Correct use of carpets in interior design is associated with good taste, so do not be afraid to use carpets in the interior!
