What rooms will the carpet be for
Before you buy a rug, think about the rooms in which the rug will be placed. Is it to be striking with a bold pattern in the living room, or is it to add to the atmosphere and sense of comfort in the bedroom? These characteristics also influence the right choice of carpet.
What material it will be made of
The price and quality of a carpet is most influenced by the choice of material from which it is made. Cheaper carpets are made from man-made fibres, more expensive carpets from natural fibres such as wool and silk. The construction of the pile also affects the properties of the carpet. The loop is easier to maintain, the cut pile is more comfortable.
Hand or machine made
The price and choice of carpet is also influenced by the production technique. Handmade carpets are more expensive, but each carpet is an original in its own way, produced in smaller batches. Machine-made carpets are made in large batches, so the price is usually lower.
Carpet Load
Will the rug be in an exposed location, or under a coffee table in the living room where it is not subjected to much strain? The load of the carpet also influences its choice.
Colour and design
It is important not to overcomplicate the design in a room. If you need to make a room look more spacious, choose a carpet in the same colour shade as those in the room; if, on the other hand, you want to divide the space, choose a contrasting colour and design. Multi-coloured carpets mask daytime dirt better, monochrome ones soften the interior.
Allergies
If you have an allergy sufferer at home, you don't have to worry about buying a rug. On the contrary, with the right choice you will improve your living environment. Concentrate on choosing a short pile, smaller sized carpet that can be washed.
Carpet hair height
The higher the pile of the carpet, the more difficult it is to care for the carpet. Also, the life of the carpet is worse in the case of long pile models. These carpets are not suitable for busy places, but may be suitable for use in the living room as a decorative element.
Carpet hair density
The denser the fibres of a carpet, the greater its resistance to abrasion.
Pets
If you have a furry pet at home, you should also consider choosing a rug with an eye to making sure that the animal hair is easy to remove. A short pile and a colour related to your pet's coat colour will make it easier to care for your carpet.
