4x4 meter carpets

A few decades ago, not a single house could do without a carpet. Soft flooring provided warmth and comfort in the room. Today, these products are already more aesthetic than practical function. However, with them, any room looks much more comfortable and beautiful. Today we look at the features of carpets 4x4 m in size and give tips on the placement of these products in the interior.

Since a 4x4 meter carpet is a fairly large canvas, it is suitable only for large rooms. If the most spacious room in your house is a living room, then such a product should be laid there. Because such dimensional carpets will fit well only in the appropriate size of the space. Small rooms such as carpets will visually make even less.Unless, of course, we are not talking about a room with exactly the same area.

In order to calculate the optimal ratio of the dimensions of the walkway and the room, you should measure the total area of ​​the space and choose the place where the carpet will lie. It should be at a distance of about 25 centimeters from the walls and furniture to look as organic as possible.

Modern manufacturers offer a huge selection of flooring from various natural and synthetic materials. Products differ significantly from each other in cost, service life, appearance and features of operation. Next, consider the most common options.

• Wool. This may be sheep or goat wool, cashmere. Wool carpets have a beautiful appearance. To the touch they are soft and very gentle, walking on such carpets is a real pleasure. Moreover, such a carpet is very warm. The disadvantage of this material is the high cost, since the production of natural fiber products is very laborious and expensive.However, given the long shelf life of wool carpet, the high price seems quite justified. It is also worth noting that the carpets of wool threads accumulate static electricity. In addition, very often the wool provokes allergic reactions, which means that products made from such a material are not suitable for everyone.

• Silk is an incredibly beautiful and delicate material, however, it costs a lot. Most often, silk thread carpets are very thin, elegant and decorative, and also require very delicate care. As a practical product in the kitchen or in the hall similar carpets do not fit. But they will perfectly decorate the living room or bedroom.

• Bamboo fiber and cotton. Products made from these fibers are more practical than silk. However, high heat and sound insulating properties should not be expected from them. Allergic reactions such materials almost never provoke. However, precautions will never be superfluous.

Thanks to modern technologies, artificial materials have been created that are not inferior to natural fibers in their characteristics.

Among them:

• viscose,
• neyilon
• polyester,
• polypropylene.

The most popular of these is polypropylene. It differs in availability and very low cost due to simplicity and low cost of production. It is also very important that polypropylene carpets are absolutely safe for health and do not cause individual intolerance. Products made of polypropylene are very unpretentious in the care and retain the original appearance and brightness of colors, even after a large number of washings. They are very soft to the touch and practically do not differ from natural analogues. Still carpets will not accumulate static electricity.

Synthetic products are ideal for children's rooms, hallways, bathrooms and kitchens, because they have excellent wear resistance, are easy and quick to clean, and are inexpensive.

If the furniture in the room is very saturated colors or intricate forms, it is best to lay there a carpet in neutral, bright colors. So you do not disturb the harmony of space.When, on the contrary, the room is made in bright similar colors, you can afford to buy a carpet with an unusual design that will become a bright accent in the interior. The main thing is to follow the harmony of combinations: for a room decorated in warm colors, suitable flooring is suitable.

The combination of colors and patterns on the curtains with the design of the carpet looks very good. At the same time, when the color of the carpet repeats the shade of the walls, it can look very boring and uninteresting. Also a winning option is the combination of the color scheme of the carpet with the design of other decorative elements: cushions, upholstery, figurines, flower pots. As for the main flooring, it would be nice if the carpet is only a tone or two darker.
