How to choose a carpet for your sofa

A noticeable transformation, comfort and coziness of a room can be created with only one detail - a correctly selected carpet. There is a lot to consider:

shape;

Colour;

room design;

furniture;

Oftentimes, even the simple combination of a carpet and a sofa can be a daunting task. Choose wisely, as an impulse purchase can destroy the interior of a room. But the task of the carpet is to connect, combine compositions, make something whole out of the room.

In this article, we will consider all the nuances of choosing the right carpet and help you avoid commonplace mistakes when choosing.

Selection of carpets: color and decor

Before choosing the carpet itself, you need to pay attention to the existing interior of the room. The choice of carpet largely depends only on it. For a classic interior, buy a carpet in a classic style, for a modern interior - in a modern one. Yes, this is pretty obvious, but the main obstacle can be a huge assortment of carpets, where none is inferior to the other in beauty. The optimal solution is not to waste time on a shopping trip, but to look at the assortment in our online store "Planet of Carpets" and buy a carpet with delivery .

The main determinant of the future carpet in the room is:

textile;

wallpaper color;

furniture color;

curtain color;

All this affects the selection. The wrong shade will cut the eye. For example, there are artificially aged carpets, the pile of which is cut almost to the base, due to which it gently merges with the interior and is not striking. Let's not forget about the design. It all depends on whether you want to revive the interior or make it a little more relaxed.

If your room is made in cool shades, where gray and blue colors prevail, then give preference to the carpet in the same shades.

There should be no foreign object sensation in the room. If you are matching a carpet to a sofa, it is best to "try on" the carpet in advance to make sure that the chosen design and color will not be conspicuous, standing out from the interior, resonating with the colors of the sofa.

Carpet maintenance and cleaning

There are three main types of carpets:

✔ carpets made of natural materials;

✔ carpets made of synthetic materials;

✔ mixed carpets;

Quality, performance and composition are just as important when choosing a carpet.

For example, if you decide to buy an expensive natural carpet, do not forget that such a carpet requires special care. Natural materials can fade and wear off, and long pile can be a comfortable environment for dust mites.

Synthetic carpet - a more budgetary solution, a wider range of colors. They are easy to clean, but they do not always last long - such carpets wear out faster, losing their appearance.

In fact, it all depends on how many people there are in your apartment, whether there are children and pets. If yes, then it is better to give preference to artificial or mixed material, since natural materials will quickly wear out from frequent cleaning.

Shape and size

Remember the size of the room where you are going to buy the rug. Be sure to measure the sofa as well. If the area is small, then a small rug will emphasize the desired area. If we are talking about a living room with a sofa, then choose a larger carpet so that the entire sofa area is covered.

As for the shape of the rug, oval and round carpets are best suited for sofas, especially when something neat and decorative is needed. But don't forget about the shape of your furniture. If the sofa and the interior as a whole have sharp corners with straight lines, then it is better to give preference to a square or rectangular carpet.
