Bed mats
The bedroom is the heart of any home, the most intimate place that needs to be worked out to the smallest detail. Here, a man gives himself over to Morpheus, experiences a second, night life, and even incorrectly arranged paintings can violate this idyll, what can we say about carpets. This design element is able to bring warmth and natural harmony to the interior of any bedroom.
The first thing to remember when thinking about a bedside rug is the wise expression “got the wrong foot”, because in the morning we get up on our carpet. Carpet should be, first of all, pleasant, comfortable and practical. Nowadays, the market is filled with various, advantageous and not very, offers, from which it simply ripples in the eyes. Carpets with and without pile, motley and pale, expensive and cheap, carpets of all colors of the rainbow are able to fulfill any whim of the customer, down to every little thing, so the only thing to really worry about is quality and convenience.
Big or small
It is best to start choosing a carpet with size and shape. The shape of bedside rugs is limited only by the manufacturer’s imagination: rectangles, squares, circles, rhombuses, trapezoids, small lambs, fairies, crocodiles and much more. In principle, it will not be difficult to find a carpet that repeats the silhouette of a celebrity, or pick up designer carpets that mimic the skins of animals - everything is completely in the hands of the designer. But the size is a much more capricious parameter, depending not only on the general interior and the size of the room itself, but also on some external factors.
We cover the whole room
Many people think that large bedside rugs are much more convenient and functional than small ones for many reasons. Firstly, large carpets that are fixed on the floor of the bed, do not slip on the floor, preventing any traumatic situations. In addition, such carpets, with the proper work of the designer, can become a real continuation of the bed, skillfully combining with bedding and the color of the material from which the frame itself is made. For example, a striped zebra rug will blend perfectly with a light wood bed, and a dark sand rug will be a good addition to furniture upholstered in the same color, but with a different shade or texture.
An island of warmth and comfort
The purpose of small carpets is to serve as a color or stylistic spot, to set off the overall design and attract attention. If, when choosing a large carpet, the designer should work with close, similar colors and shades, then small bed mats are completely based on contrast. Light, white or beige interior and soft blue fluffy island of tenderness - what could be better? Also a good idea would be a bedroom decorated in pastel colors, shaded by several bright color shades (including a bedside rug).
Material selection
What future carpet will be made of is an equally important aspect, which depends on many different factors, from the budget of repairs to the presence of pets in the house. You must admit that cleaning a cat’s carpet is much easier than a bear’s skin spread on the floor, and some types of carpets cannot be combined at all, for example, with heated floors, which also needs to be taken into account.
Naturalness Above All
Woolen carpet is, first of all, environmental friendliness, reliability and durability. Having bought a carpet made of natural wool, you will not need to worry about possible terrible synthetic smells that may appear in your apartment at the same time as a new thing.In addition, such coatings are much easier to wash off, and many well-known manufacturers in the manufacture of carpets use special impregnation, which repels dust and moth.
It is worth remembering that wool is the best natural filter that prevents pollen and dust from reaching your lungs. These harmful particles will remain on your carpet until you remove them with a vacuum cleaner, or intentionally arrange a small tornado in the apartment in order to lift them into the air. Also, natural wool is much more pleasant to the touch than synthetics, which surrounds us almost 24 hours a day. In addition to the foregoing, wool is a wonderful heat accumulator that perfectly fulfills its role in cold rooms. And the main plus of wool is its elasticity, because even when installing especially heavy furniture on it, it does not lose its original appearance.
Fluffy joy
Long-pile carpets, or as they are called, Shaggy carpets are simply made for bedrooms. Waking up and touching the feet with soft, airy villi is much more pleasant than a cold, slippery floor. Pile can be natural or synthetic, but, undoubtedly, environmentally friendly materials will fit much better into any interior. The most popular and practical materials from which such carpets are made are silk, nylon, wool and polypropylene. Each of these types, if there are pros and cons, for example, silk is very durable, but it is quite expensive, but polypropylene is much more difficult to stain and it is much cheaper.
The purpose of the carpet depends on the structure of the villi: it will only become an element of decor, which will be scary to step on, or it will bring joy and fit into the overall picture without any comments. Most often, the pile is distinguished into a loop not cut and looped cut, special connoisseurs also distinguish types such as “scroll”, “velor” and frieze “. These three species differ from the traditional two in length and pile color, but they are less wear-resistant and very quickly deteriorate.
Our luxury is everything
Rugs from skins will give the design sophistication and sophistication like nothing else. This type of carpet is completely natural, and even silk pile carpets can hardly compete with it. Many buyers are afraid of the animal form of such carpets; for some, the appearance of this covering reminds of the animal origin of this covering, so the hide on the floor by the bed is not suitable for everyone. Nevertheless, many modern designers increasingly use just such carpets to realize their ideas, relying also on their practical properties. Such coatings are considered the most wear-resistant, especially pleasant to the touch and, not surprisingly, it is even useful to walk barefoot on such wool! Doctors say that such “walks” stimulate nerve endings on the back of the foot, which we constantly hide in shoes.
The undoubted design distinction of carpets from skins is their huge variety and, at the same time, their complete uniqueness. All of them are processed and processed in different ways, and it is unlikely that all over the world there are two completely identical animals.
One knot, two knot ...
It would be a crime not to mention the rapidly growing popularity of wicker carpets. A huge advantage of such products is their versatility. Wicker rugs fit perfectly into any interior due to the fact that for their manufacture you can use various materials of all colors and shades, experiment with both size and shape, and, in principle, limit your imagination to nothing.
Dozens of different techniques are used to create a woven rug, for example, felting, crocheting, braiding, and even macramé. Such coverings are always unique, and if the repair budget allows, the designer can order just such a carpet that will be tailored specifically for your bedroom. In addition, special enthusiasts will be able to make such a coating on their own.All that is needed is patience and some well-written articles.
Red or green?
A correctly selected color scheme can completely transform even a carpet, and already it, in turn, will affect the entire look of the bedroom, in general. It is worth remembering the magic of color, especially the ability of light shades to visually expand the room, and dark, on the contrary, to narrow and compress. Also do not forget about the balance - the color scheme of the carpet should correctly fit into the overall. If you decide to emphasize the color on this coating, it’s better to choose not too flashy tones in order to avoid creating a “dead zone” right next to your bed.
All the colors of the rainbow
Bright, colorful carpets have always attracted the attention of young people and special experimenters. Undoubtedly, such coatings always look original and unusual, attract attention and, with the right choice of tone, become the highlight of the design, but do not forget about the practical side of the issue. On especially bright carpets, stains from accidentally spilled tea are visible much better, and the dirt brought by a child from the street may not be washed. Also, many pets can fiercely hate your favorite bedside mat, turning it into trash in a few weeks.
Bright coverings of the entire color spectrum are perfect for decorating rooms for children from ten years old and teenagers. When buying such a covering, you should be prepared for the fact that if your child is not particularly accurate and scrupulous, this carpet will serve you much less than it could, but beauty is a capricious lady requiring sacrifices for herself, and when the repair budget allows - go for it.
Play the tone
Solid carpets (both light and dark) have always been considered classics. Differing only in shades of barely noticeable patterns or being completely dominated by one color, such coatings last much longer. Such carpets wear and rub more evenly than their colorful and colorful brothers, which allows them to be used much longer. It is also worth noting that the classics always remain in fashion, no matter how many years have passed. Even when moving, if the money for a new repair was not found right away, the old plain carpet can find its place in one of the rooms, fitting into the interior is much better than any bright coating that is customized for a certain unique design.
