Did you know that the benefits of rugs go beyond decoration? In addition to being a decorative element, a quality carpet can perform various functions in the composition of an environment: acoustic insulation – especially for those who live in an apartment, the carpet is very important, as it muffles sounds, leaving the environment quieter and avoiding the unpleasant noise of the footsteps of those who live on the upper floor and preventing the noise from annoying the neighbors; without carpets the probability of echoes within a room increases considerably; safety – for those who have children at home, it reduces the impact on the floor in the event of falls; thermal insulation – helps maintain the temperature of the room, reducing heat transmission, both in winter, leaving the floor less cold and much more pleasant to walk on, and in summer, it reduces the heat exchange between the room and the floor, keeping it cooler for longer; floor protection
if you damage the floor every time you move an object in the house, like a chair, for example, the carpet is ideal for protecting it, as well as making the room sophisticated; comfort and warmth: walking on a soft and pleasant to the touch carpet is better than walking on the floor; delimitation of space – in the absence of walls to divide the rooms, carpets perform this role very well because they do not hinder circulation or take away the feeling of an open and spacious environment.
Choosing the right carpet for each room in the house is very important, ideally the chosen carpet should be part of the furniture and be in harmony with the other elements of the place. Depending on the materials, dimensions and colors, it can be used in all environments.
We have prepared this complete guide with professional advice to help you choose and decorate your home with carpets in the best way.
Ideal carpet size for every room
Before purchasing any rug, you need to know the correct size for each room you want to place it in, as there is no point in having the most beautiful rug in the world if it is not the correct size. To define the ideal size of the carpets it is necessary to base it on the dimensions of the furniture and rooms.
Stay
You should never be too careful when determining the measurements of living room rugs, regardless of the model, because if you choose a rug that is too small for the room it can make everything look strange, but a rug that is too large can dominate the furniture and make the room seem smaller, causing a disproportionate effect. It is important to take into account the size of the room and whether all furniture is on the carpet or furniture legs are on it. It should always be on the same line as the sofa or at least 15-20 cm below the furniture.
Tip: To avoid making the wrong combination: if the sofa is striped or patterned, it is preferable to opt for rugs in solid colors and neutral tones, such as beige. If the environment is cleaner and more essential, use a printed tapestry and give more color to the space! And choose carpet models that are larger than the size of the sofa, as this makes it easier to fit the other furniture into the room.
Dining room
When choosing a carpet model for your living room, always evaluate the space available, check if the dining room can accommodate the type of carpet you want, as the first factor to consider is safety. Choose a carpet large enough so that when people are sitting, the chairs remain on it. Always think about models that have a margin of 70 cm to 1 meter on the sides, to avoid the risk of the chair legs getting stuck in the edges, giving space for movements without accidents.
Tip: The colorful rug is ideal for rooms with bright furniture. Dark and bold color carpet patterns serve to bring more modernity to large and spacious rooms, as well as catch the eye, making the dining table gain a special highlight in the space. But be very careful if your dining room is used very frequently, analyze its practicality, as it gets dirty easily and cleaning is not so simple.
Fourth
The carpet is an essential piece for those who want to make the decor of their room more welcoming and composed. It should fit under all the furniture or reach, at most, up to the bedside table. You need to think of a model that is able to offer comfort to both of you when you get out of bed, which is why whole rugs are more recommended, which are at least 0.50 m from the sides of the bed and 0.60 m in front of it. But, regardless of the format, this room requires bedroom carpets with softer finishes, such as polyester, preferably with long, hypoallergenic threads. Since carpets are prone to accumulating dust and dirt, it is necessary to pay attention to the material when choosing a model for the bedroom.
Tip: Think of the rug as a frame for the furniture, choose a model with texture and color that highlights the furniture in the room even more. Round, rectangular or specially shaped rugs look great next to an armchair and make the reading corner more welcoming. Use geometry, they are a strong trend in bedroom decoration.
Attention
To avoid accidents with the carpet, it is important to place felt or even double-sided fabric tape underneath to prevent someone from tripping over it. Professionals recommend taking carpets to specialized places for cleaning. But it is important to carry out maintenance regularly, every six months or a year, so that dirt does not penetrate the carpet. The carpet promotes the well-being of your family with comfort and warmth.
