How to choose the right living room rug for your home? Choosing a carpet can struggle most people. Although there are many styles, we don't know which one is suitable for home. In fact, generally speaking, we should choose good-looking and easy to take care of carpets. The beauty here not only refers to the beauty of the carpet itself, but also refers to the harmony between the carpet and the home decoration style. Today we will discuss how to choose the perfect living room carpet from these two aspects.
How To Choose The Best Carpet For A Living Room
As mentioned above, good-looking carpets are in harmony with the home decoration style. Not only should the colors and patterns be harmonious, but also the size and quality of carpets should match our home decoration style.
1. Selection of color pattern
When buying carpets, you must consider the decoration style of the house and choose the right carpets.
It is recommended to select the carpet color before determining the pattern and style.
The color can be determined according to the main colors in the space, and the pattern style should consider the indoor decoration style and sense of space. For example, modern simple style and Nordic style are more suitable for geometry, abstract patterns or solid colors, while American Chinese style is more suitable for plants, flowers, landscape patterns, etc.
It sounds easy, but the actual operation is tangled. What should we do?
-In the living room space, choose your favorite color as the main color of the carpet. Choose the pattern that you think is the most beautiful. You can directly choose the pattern of pillow or hanging picture.
The color selection follows the principle of "deep is shallow, shallow is deep, deep is shallow, take the middle". What do you mean? If the furniture and floor are dark, the carpet should be light, and vice versa. If the furniture and the floor are deep and light, it's better to choose a color in the middle of the depth.
2. Laying dimension of carpet
The size of carpet should refer to the size of furniture, especially sofa. For example, for a sofa not larger than 2.7m, it is recommended to use a carpet of 1.7mx2.4m; If the furniture is larger, more than 2.7m, a 2mx3m carpet is more than enough.
3. The quality of carpet affects the overall appearance
When buying carpets, you should carefully identify the quality of the carpets. You can rub them repeatedly to test the color fastness. After rubbing, you can check whether the palms and paper towels are stained. Serious staining indicates poor color fastness; Read the carpet label, and pay attention to whether there is any guarantee of dust prevention, anti fouling, wear resistance, static control, etc. At the same time, you should also spend some time studying the handcraft of the back of the carpet. The back of the carpet is too rough, which may scratch the ground when placed on the ground. It is recommended to choose cotton or canvas carpet bottom.
What Kind Of Carpet Is Suitable For Your Home?
The choice of home decoration carpet not only depends on the design, but also considers the functional requirements and whether it is easy to take care of daily. This involves the choice of carpet materials.Home decoration carpet materials can be roughly divided into three categories: one is natural fiber, including pure wool, cow leather, jute carpet, etc; One is chemical fiber. The familiar nylon carpet belongs to chemical fiber; The other is the mixture of natural fiber and chemical fiber.
Natural fiber material:
- Pure wool carpet is expensive but still loved by many people. Naturally, it has its unique advantages. A high-quality wool carpet is absolutely excellent in texture, elasticity, warmth retention, water absorption and noise reduction. However, it is not easy to serve such carpets. The cleaning and maintenance should be very meticulous, and carpets made of natural materials are also easy to breed bacteria, moths and mold.
- The cow leather carpet is very close to the ground. It has the advantages of sound absorption, heat preservation, wear resistance and insect resistance. The line color is pure and bright, smooth, flexible and feels very good. Compared with wool carpet, it is very easy to take care of, can be washed, simple and convenient.
-In the living room space, choose your favorite color as the main color of the carpet. Choose the pattern that you think is the most beautiful. You can directly choose the pattern of pillow or hanging picture.
- Jute carpet should be the best carpet in this category. Just wipe it with mild soapy water or soda water. Do not wash it with water or steam. Jute is antibacterial and dry. It is very suitable for areas with heavy moisture. There are old people and children who are prone to allergies at home. Jute carpet is definitely the first choice.
Chemical fiber carpet:
-It can be divided into nylon, polypropylene, polyester and acrylic. This kind of carpet has good wear resistance and elasticity, and the price is more affordable compared with the first two. In the past, chemical fiber carpets were criticized because they were easy to generate static electricity, so some carpets now add conductive wires to solve this problem. If there are miaoxing people, Wangxing people and children at home, the chemical fiber carpet with strong anti pollution, easy cleaning and anti-static is your best choice.
-The living environment of borers and other microorganisms needs to contain protein components, while chemical fiber products cannot provide protein, so chemical fiber carpets rarely suffer from moth mildew.
-The most common chemical fiber carpet is nylon carpet. Its elasticity and durability are better than all other fibers, and it is easy to maintain later. If you have children and pets at home, and you want the carpet to last longer, nylon is a good choice. The fabric label of high-quality nylon carpet will be "100%mohawk nylon" or "100%steinmaster tactesse"; If it is low-quality nylon, there will be only a simple "100%nylon". The price of nylon carpet is higher than that of other chemical fiber carpets.
Blended carpet:
It is usually made from a mixture of wool and synthetic fiber. The carpet made of this material has the advantages of some pure wool carpets. It is not only wear-resistant, but also not easy to mildew and moth eaten. The feel is similar to wool. If you prefer the texture of pure wool carpet but are unable to maintain it, then blended carpet is the best choice, and the cost of blended carpet is much better than that of wool carpet.
Routine Maintenance Of Carpet
-Avoid direct sunlight on the carpet. Use a vacuum cleaner for daily cleaning. It is recommended to vacuum 2-3 times a week; Local stains can be wiped with a wet towel, rolled up when not in use, and placed in a ventilated place for convenient storage.
-Maintenance of pure wool carpet: Often use a care brush to comb the wool surface of pure wool carpet, which can keep the wool surface fluffy; After using for a period of time, shake hard and beat the wool surface with a small wooden stick, which is conducive to restoring the elasticity of the wool; If the wool surface is slightly polluted, alcohol or professional detergent can be used to spray it on the polluted area, then dip the dry cotton cloth with talcum powder or talcum powder, wipe it with force, shake off the powder and comb it.
-Mold proof and moth proof of carpet: Generally speaking, the part of the carpet that is not often trampled is easy to produce insects, because there is a certain contact space between this part and the ground, and there is dust and air, so that moths can survive. Before laying the carpet on the wooden floor, wax it first, and then spread a layer of sanitary sphere on the floor after twoorthree days, and then lay the carpet, which can not only prevent moisture, but also prevent insects. After a year of use, the carpet should be moved outdoors, dried and dusted. After two years of use, it needs to be cleaned and disinfected with chemicals once. If you want to put it away, clean it and dry it in a ventilated and semi shaded place. Wrap it in a bag and put some camphor pills in a dry and ventilated place. It is best to put it at a place half to one meter high from the ground. Do not fold and press it for a long time.
