Rugs or carpets are great trick to stylize your interiors. But it is essential to choose the right carpet for your home. Mohit Mishra, Founder, Urban Upgrade share some carpet essential tips
- Selecting the right size of rug is important as per the size of the room. In case of living room, the rug should be placed near the front feet of the furniture. In terms of dining rooms, all chairs should be on the carpet whenever they are pulled out for use. Other areas and bedrooms can have throw rugs of smaller sizes based on the decor of the house.
- If using more than one rug then choose rugs that complement each other.
- Choose colours of the carpets depending on the usage of the carpet and matching with the decor of your home. Bright and dark colours work well in large rooms whereas light pastel shades look good for smalle size rooms.
- Wool rugs are considered to be ideal as they are natural fiber and are warm in winter and cool in summers. They are also easy to maintain. Wooll retains the original colours and look fresh for many years.
- Feel the carpet with your foot before choosing it.
