Do you want to lay a luxurious carpet at home?Prefer silk or wool? How to place the carpet correctly in the interior in order to favorably emphasize the design of the room and make a strong impression on the guests, and to guarantee yourself a daily pleasant experience and sensations? You will learn about this from our today's material. Fashion for carpets in the house does not pass at any time - only the favorite shade, size and shape of the product change. But judging by the result, many owners, when choosing a carpet for their home, are based on a principle called "a matter of taste." However, even if your taste is impeccable and you are your own designer and decorator, they will not bother you. First of all, the interior itself determines the choice of carpet. If the decor was originally made in a classic style, then the carpets are selected in a classic design; for a modern interior, the corresponding option is preferable. Difficulties in making a decision can only be caused by the huge range of products offered with their bewitching beauty. Matching color with decor Carpets match well withtextiles in the interior: curtains,, the color of the walls, for example, are very important in choosing a carpet. If it is in the same tones or shades, then the overall combination of decor and furnishings will be pleasing to the eye. By itself, the carpet can be "active" or "worn" - this is determined by the weaving technique. Sometimes an artificially aged carpet (this effect is achieved by cutting the pile almost to the base of the product) looks inactive and soft, thus it does not stand out against the general background and fits perfectly into the interior. The same can be said about the design of the carpet itself - it can be variegated, multi-colored and "active". The choice depends on what you want to focus on, you need to revive the interior or, conversely, dim its brightness. If the interior is dominated by cold shades, gray, blue colors - the same shades should be given preference when choosing a carpet. Alexey Volgov, Art de Vivre: - The choice of carpet is just as important as the correct selection of furniture for the interior. The choice of carpet depends on the style of the interior and the mood that needs to be brought into the atmosphere, linking together the entire color scheme of the room. The carpet is chosen after the basic finishing and furniture arrangement. His "fitting" is definitely needed in order to exclude the sensation of a foreign object in the interior. The carpet is primarily associated with harmony, comfort and therefore should fit into the interior "like a native". When choosing a carpet, do not limit yourself to the price of the product, find out more information about its origin, the quality of weaving, touch it, listen to the seller's recommendations and look at the product from different angles - after all, lighting plays an important role. On the one hand, it will seem, for example, dark, on the other - lighter. Only after all this make a decision! Begench Geldimuradov, Dovlet House:- Recently, carpets that have a slight aging are often popular, they are more monochromatic in color, with classic motives. Such carpets are called differently: artificially aged, erased classics, etc. They are laid both in classic interiors and in modern ones. Traditional silk carpets with oriental designs, such as Persian (Iranian), have a certain stability in demand - they carry status and prestige. Their role in the interior is not so active, as their presence is an art in itself and a luxurious asset. facebook.com/dovlethouse Adjusting the dimensions to the furniture The dimensions of the carpets are more or less standard in almost all manufacturing countries. The products themselves are symmetrical. But with the dimensions, options are possible. , for example, carpets are usually selected of two types. In the first case, a model is selected to be placed in front of the sofa. In this case, the length of the carpet should be slightly longer than the length of the sofa. For example, if the sofa is 2.5 meters long, the carpet should be 2.7 to 3 meters long. At the same time, the width can vary from 2 or 2.5 meters - it all depends on how much space remains in front of the sofa. According to the design rules, it is recommended to place the sofa with its legs on the edge of the carpet, with a spade of 20-25 centimeters. The second option is the need or an irresistible desire to put the entire group of upholstered furniture on the carpet completely. Then you have to choose a large specimen, for example, 4 x 3 meters or more. Our opinion:- A quality rug will surely last you much longer than the furniture in the dining area. And it is quite possible that you will buy a different size for the next headset. Therefore, when choosing a carpet for a dining room, it is better to make a "tolerance" in terms of footage to the larger side, otherwise after a few years the carpet may look too small, violating the composition of the room and the basic design rules. In the dining room we "calculate" the area with chairs In the large dining room carpets are not uncommon. Despite the fact that even the most tidy housewife can spill wine or spill salt, it's worth the risk. Especially if your room is quite large. In the dining room, the carpet is completely placed under the table so that all chairs also do not go beyond it, even in the retracted position. Now let's calculate the dimensions: let's say the table here is designed for 8 people. Three chairs will stand on one side of the table, three on the opposite, one more chair at the ends. In this case, the length of the table is approximately 2.5-3 meters. This means that the carpet should be at least 4 x 3 meters in the finished composition when the dining group is completely on it. If the pushed back chairs go over the edge of the carpet, your calculations are wrong. Put this carpet, for example, in the bedroom, and go to the dining room to choose another. Asya Bondareva, interior designer:- Carpets are always capable of creating a cozy atmosphere in any room, so their presence is highly desirable. You need to choose based on the color scheme of the room. I always select carpets at the very end of the project, I can think in advance that, for example, I need geometry on the floor or, conversely, a floral ornament. Be sure to take a few carpets for fitting, this service is provided by most of the carpet salons. The sizes of finished carpets do not always suit your room, so you can, for example, decide on the type of carpet and order it in the size you need. bondarevadesign.ru Begench Geldymuradov, Dovlet House: - There is the most important rule for choosing a carpet for an interior. This rule is like / dislike. After all, handmade carpets are an art that carries a strong energy. And this is an eternal asset, which over time becomes more expensive and more beautiful. After all, these works of art are woven very durable and effective. facebook.com/dovlethouse In the bedroom we are looking for carpet with our feet In the bedroom there are several possible solutions. For example, the carpet partially extends under the bed, up to the bedside tables. There is only one guideline: when you get out of bed in the morning, your feet should be on a soft and warm surface. If the average size of the bed is 2 x 2 meters, then the size of the carpet should be 2.5-3.5 meters. Often, bedside pairs of identical carpets are placed in the bedrooms. Our opinion: - If your bedroom is large and the bed is in the middle of the room, place it completely on the carpet, or put a couple of small rugs on the left and right. The main thing is not to get up on the cold floor in the morning. This, of course, invigorates, but not everyone gives the pleasant feeling of being asleep. In the event that the bed is pushed against the wall, it will be enough to push the carpet under it by 10-15 centimeters - there is no point in collecting dust on an invisible part of it and hiding such beauty.
