Animal Carpets

The custom of home decoration with carpet canvases came to us from antiquity, because our ancestors knew how to make a home more comfortable and emphasize the well-being of the family. These animal skins, and later wool-woven carpets symbolized wealth and homeowner status.

Often, new directions in interior design have centuries-old roots. This also applies to carpets with species of wildlife and the image of animals. Such carpet paintings will bring a special flavor to the decor of modern apartments and country houses.

Our love for the beauty of wildlife and the desire to see wild animals at the hearth is nothing more than the call of distant ancestors. Apparently, this is programmed into us genetically, as an echo of the time when people fought with the elements not for life, but for death and naturally, they kept the trophies of their victories.

Someone prefers to lay on the floor the skin of the beast, and another like carpets depicting wolves, bears and lions. Both create an atmosphere of warmth and security in the room.

A carpet depicting an animal, for example a panda, will be a great place for children's games. A model with a picture of a troika of horses, a forest thicket or a jungle will give the kids a flight of fancy in inventing plots for games. Children from childhood need to instill a love of nature, and such a product will help the child to join the animal world.

Most of the popular products with deer were of German production of the 30s. Initially, tapestries were created by manual labor, and then performed on machines. A little later, began to produce products from a material resembling velor or plush. Such carpets and flooded the Soviet apartments. In the USSR, it was not easy to get the thing you liked, and at times citizens had to conduct a real hunt for the object of their lust.

Carpet wall paintings - a solid version of the decor room. They can decorate the office, a fireplace near a fireplace in a country house, or an ordinary apartment, depending on the image and individual preferences of the owners.

The choice in favor of this product should be made, because:

Carpets depicting animals will be appropriate in the lobby of hotels and restaurants, whose interior echoes the natural and eco-theme.Cloths with horses, tigers and bears symbolize the strength, will and power of their owners.

Contrary to the fact that carpets in the form of animal skins are classified as expensive, almost everyone can afford to purchase them. To date, there are many high-quality imitations of hides from artificial materials. Synthetic analogues in the form of animal skins are very popular due to the ratio of price and quality. They are durable and practical, have a uniform pile and color and are not of interest to moths and other parasites.

Real skins were used to decorate the chambers of cold medieval castles, magnificent royal palaces, and, of course, ordinary houses (especially if the head of the family was a hunter).For many centuries, carpets have not changed their purpose, but have changed themselves. Has undergone a change in the color palette, shape and types of materials. Today you can not only buy a finished product, but also order its personal production.

• Classical;
• Minimalism;
• Scandinavian;
• Eco;
• Empire;
• Country

However, many designers manage to incorporate animal motifs into modern urban styles. An important characteristic of natural models will be their absolute individuality. The variety of natural color of the animal, the direction of the coat and the shape will always be special. Carpets-skins made of synthetic materials are, of course, typical, but their choice is so great that it is not difficult for anyone to choose a bright and unusual model for their interior.

The area in which you plan to place a rug with a print of animal color or a real skin determines the type of animal:

• For the bedroom sheepskin carpets, perhaps the whole skin of a sheep or roe;
• In the billiard room, a study or a country house will go skins of boar, bear or wolf;
• In the living room more and more often choose exotics such as giraffe, leopard or tiger.There are also imitations of wild animal hides created with dyed cow hides, whose quality is very high.
