Carpets - a fashionable decoration of modern interiors

Even in time immemorial, people insulated the floors in their homes with grass and animal skins. In subsequent centuries, floors began to be covered with small mats and large carpets with various patterns. However, today carpets are not just a covering; in the modern world, carpets also perform an aesthetic function.

How to choose a carpet for the interior?

In order to choose a carpet for the interior of a room, you can, of course, use the services of a designer or, say, browse the catalog of popular furniture companies. However, the variety of types and types of carpets can be confusing, and therefore, in order to choose your own version of the carpet, it is best to familiarize yourself with a number of rules. First of all, you need to know that carpets are divided into several categories:

According to the material from which they are made;
In shape;
At the place of application;
Type;
According to the style of execution.

In order for the carpet to look aesthetically and harmoniously in the interior, you need to choose the one that suits you the most from the wide variety of options.

Classification of carpets by place of application

If you decide that you just need a carpet to decorate the interior, then the question will certainly arise where to place it. Carpets at the place of application are divided into two varieties:

Floor carpets: they are used to warm the floor, and to create coziness.
Wall carpets: they are most often used as an element of decor.

If you need a floor carpet, and not a wall carpet, then in this case you need to review the carpets in the field of their use in different rooms.

Use of carpets in various rooms

Utility rooms, offices and work areas, as well as living quarters, need decoration. And carpets are a good solution to give a “twist” to the working atmosphere. Floor carpets can be used:

in office premises;
in offices and reception rooms;
in the corridors;
in rooms for official receptions;
on the stairs;
in the hallways;
In bathroom;
in the living room and halls;
in the children's playroom and bedroom;
in the kitchen and dining room;
in the bedroom.

Wherever you want to place a carpet, you should always remember that it should fit this room not only in color, but also in its texture.

A variety of carpets according to the material of manufacture

If you are a supporter of the use of environmentally friendly materials, then carpets made of wool, cotton, silk and genuine leather - this is your choice. And although cotton and silk carpets are more suitable for walls than for floors, such carpets can also be found a worthy place in the room if desired. Carpets are also made from materials such as:

Viscose. It is pleasant to the touch and not as expensive as natural materials.
Polypropylene. It is an imitation of a wool carpet, but cheaper and more practical due to its long service life.
Nylon. Cheap, practical, easy to clean.
Polyester. It attracts with its low price, a variety of textures and colors, and is not picky about care.
Artificial leather carpets have a low price in comparison with genuine leathers and are practical in application.

Of course, if we compare natural and artificial materials, then prices are of paramount importance. In any case, products made of non-natural materials are suitable for decorating offices and utility rooms.

Choosing the shape and color of the carpet

The color and shape of the carpet matter if you want harmony and aesthetics to reign in the interior of your home. In the form of carpets are:

Oval;
Round;
Rectangular
Square;
With elongated corners.

The color scheme and pattern can be so diverse that it is not possible to classify carpets solely by color. Both color and pattern depend on the style in which the entire room will be executed.

Styles and designs of carpets

In a modern interior, the styles and types of carpets depend on the style of the room. Someone prefers baroque or renaissance, someone gothic or Greek style, someone chooses the classics or, conversely, modern. It all depends on the temperament and tastes of the owner. Young and energetic people gravitate towards the modern style, their choice is carpets in the style of:

High tech;
Pop Art;
Art Deco;
Minimalism.

People with rich creative imagination decorate the premises with carpets in Japanese, Egyptian, Indian, African style. The choice of the “right” carpet is a difficult and responsible matter, because the choice of your home, its aesthetics and your desire to stay in it will largely depend on this choice.
