The size of modern carpets

Carpets do not lose their relevance in modern homes as citizens, and residents of the suburbs. For many centuries, our ancestors decorated their houses with his help. In the XXI century, the carpet is still a fashionable interior detail.

From time immemorial, carpets were of fundamental importance in the culture and traditions of the East. The culture of our country also supports this tradition - the carpets in the dwellings of our compatriots are often located not only on the floor, but also on the walls.

Buying a carpet is a much more difficult task.than it seems at first glance. Often, the choice is limited not only by the offers of stores, but also by the characteristics of the room, its functions, tastes and capabilities of a particular person. To begin with, what size carpets offer today's buyer.

First of all, the choice depends on which room you want to put the carpet in.So, for example, bedside rugs imply small sizes. Very often there are soft carpets with a long, soft-touch pile. It's so nice to wake up and put your feet on a similar mat.

The children's rug will play two roles at once: it will save the child's feet from overcooling, and also allow him to fantasize. You can purchase a rug with a pattern stylized as a road or a town. The child will use it as a field for the game.

It is worth buying not only a carpet on the floor, but also on the wall. Previously, they were very popular, but over time, the popularity of this type of decor faded. Designers began to lean toward the idea that the carpet on the wall was an overkill to be avoided. It is much more relevant to place pictures or photos on it. Carpet in a modern apartment remained only as a floor covering.

Another parameter in the selection will be the material from which the product is made. Preference should be given to natural, if there is no allergy to them.

Color, pattern, texture of the product must be consistent with the interior.

It is obvious that such indicators as the length and width of the carpet can not strictly comply with the parameters of the room. However, this circumstance does not eliminate the need to measure the dimensions of the room before studying the range. These data must be considered when choosing. The key task of the buyer will be to compare the relevant characteristics of the area and the proposed size of the carpet.

Faced with the choice of carpet, the buyer meets a huge number of options for sizes. On the price tag you can see 250 x 300, 150 x 80, 150 x 200 cm, 200 x 300 cm. It is very convenient that some stores sell carpet with a fixed cost per meter. You can ask the seller to cut a piece of the track and use it as a carpet in the room. The trimmed edge will fit right away. If the pattern is not oriented to the edges of the walkway, then after placing the carpet in the room, no one would even guess that this is a regular walkway, and not a carpet.

It should be noted that small, in turn, are divided into many options depending on the destination (in the hallway, in the bathroom, near the bed), and those dimensions that exceed the standard, are divided into large and very large.Some of the most popular size does not exist, since everyone selects the carpet very individually.

Small rugs are convenient to use as a small accent. They can be placed at the chair, on the ottoman, at the front door, at the bath, near the toilet. Placement on a chair or couch will be original, but the selection of a rug for this must be careful so that it does not look stupid. As a rule, those canvases whose size is less than 3m² are considered small. This can be a rug 100 x 100, 120 x 120, 150 x 150, 130 x 130, 140 x 140 cm.

Standard average carpets usually range from 3 m² to 6 m². They serve as an independent element of the room decor. With this flooring you can zone the room. This is very important for modern studio apartments. For example, a seating area with a sofa and a TV can be placed on the carpet, and the dining area will be without it. These carpets are 300 x 300, 200 x 400, 500 x 300, 100 x 500, 300 x 400, 200 x 200 m.

Large carpets of more than 6 m² can fully cover the floor in the room. But it is customary to leave a thin (about 20 cm) strip between the edge of the carpet and the wall. Its dimensions can be 300 x 300, 200 x 300, 600 x 600, 160 x 160, 180 x 180, 5 x 5, 300 x 300.

We should also consider those carpets, the dimensions of which are smaller than the possible surface area requiring coating.Their sizes are determined primarily by the functions that they must perform. There are bedside rugs that only serve to prevent the owner of the bed from getting up from under the warm blanket with his bare feet on the cold floor.

Tips for choosing the size of the carpet:

• For the dining area, it is best to choose such a coating so that it extends beyond the edge of the chair by more than half a meter. This will ensure that the chairs do not swing, because if two legs stand on the surface of the carpet, and two outside, then you can forget about stability.

• In the bedroom, the abundance of carpets will only interfere, because dust and dust mites accumulate in the long pile. This will cause an allergic reaction. A few small bedside mats will be enough. It is important to wash them regularly.

• The carpet in the nursery will soften the fall of the child. Medium and large carpets can be used, but a long nap is undesirable. It will confuse small parts from the designers or shoes dolls. In addition, there is also the possibility of dust mites. It is better to choose a short nap.Near each bed, if there are several children, you can place on a small soft rug.

• The long carpet path visually lengthens the room, so for narrow rooms it is better not to use it.

• As a rule, manufacturers do not offer carpets whose width is more than 3.5 meters (the length does not have an upper limit). If you want the floor to be wider, you will have to endure the seam connecting its two parts.

• The most popular size is 2x3m. As a rule, such a carpet is placed in the central part of the room. But it can be combined with furniture and other parts of the interior in completely unimaginable variations. The question is only in the fantasy of the landlord.

• Small rugs - great accents around the seats. Guests will be pleased to put their feet on them. The same rugs can be put on low stools to create comfortable and stylish footrests.

• Too many small rugs of different shapes and sizes in the same room look tasteless. It is better to combine a large dim and one or two bright little ones. A large number of accents turn a room into a kaleidoscope.

Depending on the interior, you can buy a carpet of the most different forms. First of all, buyers are interested in rectangular canvases, repeating the shape of the room. This form is most common in flooring stores. With it you can beautifully zoned room. Small rectangular mats are used in the hallway to brush off dirt from shoes. About the same size, rugs are placed near the bath to avoid slipping after bathing.

Square rug slightly less popular, but its shape is the scope for the designer’s creativity. For example, it can be placed without orientation along the walls, and so that the corners of the carpet look at the wall at an angle of 45 degrees. Such an arrangement would look good in large rooms whose proportions are close to square. For narrow elongated rooms this is not the best solution. Square - a symbol of sustainability.

Round - very original carpet. With it, you can visually enlarge the room, as well as hide the disadvantages of the floor.All the irregularities, as if by magic, disappear as soon as the floor appears in the room. It is usually placed in the center of the room. Round products with a long nap look very nice. But they require special care and regular cleaning.

Semicircular can be used in the hallway, bathroom, on the balcony. Its straight part is installed close to the wall or edge of the screen under the bathroom, and the semi-circular looks at the room. This form can be supported by other details in the interior, for example, a pattern on the walls, furniture.

They have a special elegance oval carpets. They look very noble, gently smooth out the sharp corners that the furniture forms. An oval can visually enlarge the room and add an accent to the room. Here it is important to remember that an excessive amount of smooth lines will not suit every interior. For example, the minimalist style is more inclined to straight lines, as well as to the uniformity of shapes and colors.

In the manufacture of carpet materials are used both synthetic and natural. The latter are of plant and animal origin.Sheep wool is recognized as the best basis for making carpets: its properties — low thermal conductivity and fire safety — make it possible to opt for it. However, it also has disadvantages - wool products can cause allergies.

Silk carpets are expensive. At the same time they are durable and soft. Often, manufacturers of silk copies can create on the fabric that can be called a masterpiece without exaggeration. Often use silk thread to decorate the product.

Viscose is referred to as artificial materials, although it is obtained from natural fibers. Products from it are not resistant to dirt. They prefer to put in a room that does not involve a large number of visitors. However, viscose retains its color longer than other materials.

More comfortable in life can be called polypropylene carpets.

A characteristic feature that favorably distinguishes semi-synthetic and synthetic materials from others is hypoallergenicity, that is, the presence of medical contraindications is not an obstacle to creating home comfort.In addition, they can also perform an entertainment function, if we are talking about the carpet in the nursery. Synthetics can not be called fertile ground for the life of bacteria.

Another example of a combined material that combines the advantages and disadvantages of artificial and natural resources is a wool blend base. It has the same advantages as wool, while in combination with it polypropylene, acryl and other material perform equally well. Among the shortcomings can be identified the fragility of such products, as well as the presence of static electricity in them.

Not the last place is the color range of a carpet. There are two main colors: with print and monochrome. That is, this parameter, as well as the others, depends on the interior. Carpet is ideal for furniture and household items, if it combines shades of the same color that prevail in the room. If not, then it is worthwhile to thoroughly approach the choice of shades, the contrast of which is striking, but again harmoniously fits into any home. We should also talk about beige carpets. They are light, but not easily soiled.Often in apartments put a light floor, therefore such carpet will be harmoniously combined with it.

The same can be said about all shades of brown. If you choose other colors, then from the variety of color palette, you must choose colors that are combined with a shade of wallpaper and curtains. A carpet can be combined with both. Also it is necessary to take into account the material from which the canvas is made, the overall style of the room. Synthetic red and blue carpets in modern styles look good, and the natural shades of wood and stone will suit the classic interior more.

It should be added that the feeling of closeness disappears if a carpet of light tones appears in the room. The color of the carpet should correspond to the design concept, but it can also serve as a bright spot that attracts attention.

This popular accessory is made by many companies all over the world. Carpets are distinguished by the quality, colors, materials of which they are made. Designers recommend paying attention to handmade carpets from Egypt, Moldova, India. They are much more expensive than those produced in the factory, but such products carry the warmth of the hands of the person who weaved them. The carpet will serve the family for decades, but will not lose color, texture, pattern clarity. Over time, it may even go up.

There are lots of ways to place a rug in the room. Much depends on what color it is, size. The most traditional accommodation is in the middle of the room. It is important to consider that a large carpet should not lie close to the furniture. Designers are advised to leave a gap of at least 25 centimeters, otherwise it may look sloppy, the carpet may be lost against the background of furniture. But in modern interiors such a rule can be violated, and sometimes it can be the only right decision. Now designers can put furniture on the carpet, thereby violating the tradition. As a result, the interior looks modern and fresh.

The middle round or oval rug in the center of the room will immediately attract attention and become the visual center of the room. Designers often use this technique, complementing and repeating the form on the walls, furniture. For example, a round table and a round carpet of the same diameter complement each other well.
