Oval Carpets

Soft carpets magically give the room coziness, warm frozen feet in bad weather and muffle noise, creating a comfortable atmosphere. These components make accessories popular regardless of the era and the prevailing fashion. Oval carpets look good in the interior, it remains only to find a suitable option that will successfully complement the decor.

Oval carpets were originally used in European rooms with bay windows, where it was impossible to spread out rectangular products, but later this option became very popular, and its scope expanded significantly. Now carpets of this form can be found in bedrooms and nurseries, kitchens, living rooms and bathrooms.

Interest in oval products is easy to explain; there are several reasons for this:

• smooth outlines without corners create a feeling of comfort, as if “smoothing” the interior. This is noted by both designers and psychologists;
• due to the peculiarities of the form, it is easy to create an atmosphere of relaxation in rooms intended for recreation, for example, in bedrooms;
• You can use the oval carpet as a means of zoning a large space, embodying interesting design solutions;
• The shape of the oval is very harmonious, and if the room has many sharp corners in the silhouettes of furniture, in decoration and other objects, the carpet will help to balance the interior.

These products are divided into two large groups: floor and wall. But the latter are now used extremely rarely, unless the owner lives in a Caucasian village or grandmother’s apartment of the Soviet era type. However, there are exceptions when the carpet on the wall is not considered a relic of the past - these are styles that suggest the creation of a similar atmosphere, saturated with the spirit of another era, for example, types of country music, boho or ethnic. But modern trends recognize only floor carpets.

Products can be divided by size. Large carpets occupying almost the entire area of ​​the room are no longer relevant. Medium sizes are in fashion, which distinguish a separate area, for example, a lounge corner in a living room or a dining table in a kitchen combined with a dining room.Also a good option is miniature round rugs, there may be several of them, in this case they act as a single ensemble of accessories, creating an atmosphere of integrity and unity of space.

With oval products you will need to measure the length and width. In addition, the carpet can be thick or thin - it depends on the material. Thick and soft pile is more pleasant to the touch, but it is more difficult to care for it than for fabric carpets that are easy to clean.

Silk and wool are considered the most ancient materials, but now in the shops you can easily find synthetic carpets, which will be no less fluffy and pleasant to the touch. To determine the choice, you need to consider the advantages and disadvantages of each material.

Wool is a classic. A warm, durable carpet with a nap is able to last half a century, while it is quite elastic and does not respond well to burning, so you can not fear for safety. Their minus is that the products quickly mara, besides, they are loved by moths, and also natural wool is expensive.

Silk - not less ancient materialIts basis is natural fibers.The silk product looks impressive due to the unusual shine of the pile. Thin threads allow craftsmen to create very detailed drawings. But these carpets need delicate care, lack of direct sunlight, and they are not cheap.

Viscose is an interesting invention.It is produced artificially, but from natural fibers. It gives a lot of opportunities - and the carpets can be embossed or flat, thin and fluffy, big and small. Viscose is durable, durable, but easily absorbs moisture and is deformed under its influence, so laying the carpet in the bathroom or in the kitchen is not worth it.

Cotton is of natural origin., easy to wash, safe for allergies and is not too expensive. A large variety of models makes it easy to choose a carpet for any room. Cons of the material - in the tendency to shrinkage and deformation, it is also easily wrinkled.

Polyamide - synthetic material with characteristic brilliance. Carpets from it are distinguished by durability, wear resistance, fungi and insects do not start in them. Products retain their shape well. The problem can be an unpleasant feature - the accumulation of static electricity.

Polypropylene also belongs to synthetic fibers, it is one of the most unpretentious materials, practically not accumulating dirt and dust. It is enough to walk on the carpet with a vacuum cleaner, it needs nothing more in terms of care. However, polypropylene carpets are short-lived, will last about 5 years, and then lose their appearance. In addition, the material easily ignites.

With the selection of the desired color usually does not arise difficulties, because on sale you can find plain carpets and options with patterns or patterns, as well as products of any shades, from delicate beige to extremely acid pink.

Shades from blue to lilac, and also green will be suitable for solar rooms. On the north side, where there is not enough light, you can use peach, orange, brown.

It is important to choose an oval carpet so that it fits the chosen style of the interior, otherwise the accessory will look alien.In order not to get lost in the store, you can use some recommendations about the most popular types of design:

• Modern distinguished by its grace and spirit of aristocracy, so the carpet must have a discreet and even strict look. It can be a single-color product, light or dark, but no screaming tones — only pastel or deep dark. A geometric pattern or avant-garde symbolism in the spirit of the modernist era will also be admissible;

• High tech does not imply an abundance of colors, so a dull solid carpet would be quite appropriate. You can use a variant with a pattern in which there are clear lines and geometric shapes;

• Ethnic Destinations and Country Music blend well with bright and cheerful carpets with motley colors. Woven striped products, cute fringed versions will perfectly fit into such an interior;

• Minimalism suggests conciseness, so usually for him use monochrome colors. On the other hand, if the whole room is decorated in black and white, the carpet, on the contrary, can become a bright accent, but it should be monophonic;

• Classic style admits carpets with baroque ornaments, patterns and arabesques. Or a monophonic version, sustained in a calm color, will do.
