Carpet in the interior - design secrets of placing carpets indoors

More recently, carpets have undergone a period of criticism. They said that they accumulate too much dust, that they are too bulky, and indeed not modern. The landlords got rid of the old wool carpets and covered the floor with laminate. However, such a denial of centuries-old traditions could not last long. Finally, everything returned to normal and now we can say with confidence that carpets are back in fashion. This is a real success for designers, since with the help of only one carpet you can transform the interior beyond recognition: add coziness or restraint, expand the space or narrow it, darken or, conversely, illuminate with a soft light. By the way, the secrets of using carpet in the interior are available not only to designers - now you will recognize them.

Carpet size matters to the interior

Once upon a time, large carpets covered the entire floor, including the space under sofas and beds. This approach gives the entire interior completeness, indicates the general nature of all the details of the room. In this case, the flooring looks like a whole, which is always true.

However, medium-sized carpets are considered more fashionable now. They do not cover the entire floor in the room, but focus on a specific area, for example, a recreation area.

Small rugs that are used to create bright accents on small interior details also look interesting in the interior. Such a mini-rug, spread out near a wooden bench, will add softness to the rest area and will warm the feet of those sitting.

Color rules the world of interior

The color of the carpet is also of no small importance. For a dark room with windows facing north, it is best to choose a carpet of light and warm colors, for example, yellow or orange. Such a coating will visually add dark light to the dark room. And, on the contrary, in an excessively sunny, hot room, visual coolness will give a carpet of a cold shade - blue, green, purple.

The color of the carpet should match the color of the entire floor. On light and warm wood or tile, warm shades of yellow-green colors will look good. Purple and pink carpets will look perfect on a grayish floor. Carpets of saturated shades in ocher and green are suitable for red and red colors of the floor. For a dark floor (for example, “wenge”), choose light colors of carpets: white, beige, light blue and pale pink.

If a certain color dominates in the coloring of the carpet, then it is desirable that it be repeated in some other interior detail, for example, on pillows, tablecloths, table vases, etc. Small, but striking colors on the carpet can also be "supported", but with larger details - colors of furniture, curtains, wallpaper, etc.

Drawing: monotony or riot of colors?

Solid carpet is perfect for a room of any size, emphasizes the color of furniture and other interior details.A large catchy picture on the canvas will visually narrow the space, so it will be more appropriate on the floor in a large room. As for the interior of a small narrow room, a carpet with a motley pattern located diagonally fits perfectly into it. In the event that the carpet pattern is clearly geometric (squares, circles, broken lines), then it is advisable to repeat it - in the shapes or colors of furniture, curtains, pillows.

The geometry of the rectangles in this room can be traced both in the carpet pattern, and in the form of furniture, and in the lines of wall shelves

When choosing a bright carpet for the room, be careful! Catchy carpets tend to muffle all the rest of the room. Therefore, to favorably emphasize luxurious designer furniture, choose a plain-colored carpet for it as companions. And, on the contrary, a simple atmosphere will sparkle with new colors, if you complement it with a bright carpet with a luxurious pattern.

Each room has its own carpet.

Any, even the most wonderful and high-quality carpet, will not look equally good in all rooms of your apartment. The carpet with a long luxurious pile will perfectly fit into the romantic interior of the bedroom and will additionally warm the floor.

Light carpet with a long pile - the best solution for the bedroom

In the hallway, the same carpet will look out of place: it will quickly become dirty and will be uncomfortable with a large crowd of people. It is better to choose a synthetic carpet with a short pile and a fine pattern here - dust and dirt will not be too noticeable on it. For corridors and stairs, it is also necessary to select coatings that can mask dirt. As a rule, these are synthetic dark coatings that do not require special care.

For the living room, a classic 2x3 woolen carpet with a high density is suitable. In the nursery, it is necessary to select rugs with a bright, intricate pattern, preferably depicting cartoon characters or a plot from your favorite fairy tale. Often in children's rooms, small bedside rugs are used that zone the room and separate the rest area from the rest of the room.

Practical rugs for a children's room pleasing with bright colors

The qualities of modern materials make it possible to create carpets for kitchens from them - with the addition of moisture-resistant impregnation in the pile. For bathrooms, synthetic or cotton mats with a base of moisture-resistant foam rubber are used - they do not deteriorate from moisture, dry quickly, and are pleasant to the feet.

The carpet can become a real decoration of any interior. It is only necessary to choose this flooring correctly. We hope that with our tips, you can easily cope with it with a bang and give odds to any venerable designer!

I do not like carpets in the whole room - it is outdated and collects a bunch of dust, carpet is more to the liking. But small decor rugs are a different matter. The lush white pile looks very nice, but who will clean it. I like the thick carpet option so that the pile is not large. And I prefer synthetics - he was woolen, he ate his moth.

I also really like carpets, you just need to take care of them and they will last a very long time! My mom’s carpets are always on the floor, my grandmother’s are lying and I will continue the tradition too).Someone doesn’t like them, the taste and color as they say ... And yet a huge beautiful carpet in the hall or a nice rug in the children's room, what else could be better?). The only thing I do not really like is very bright carpets, for example red ones.

Of course, a beautiful carpet will decorate any interior, if it is chosen correctly and tastefully! But somehow my husband and I moved away from this, now there is such a huge number of floor coverings that are no less beautiful, and there is much less cleaning and tidying than with carpets. For me, linoleum is good or parquet is a more acceptable option at the moment.
