Sometimes a carpet is donned only to add aesthetic value to a room. Sometimes it is to protect your feet from the cold floor. It is essential to know why you need a carpet in your space.

Is protecting your hardwood floor the agenda of this accessory? Or is it to balance out the colour scheme in your space? Either way, plenty of thought needs to go into it before investing in a carpet.

We hear the word ‘industrial design’ thrown around loosely. But what does it really mean? Comprising of raw and exposed materials such as brick finish walls, exposed concrete and metallic elements; industrial design has a very unique look. Its metal integration with furniture and use of leather as upholstery completes the look and feel. With an unfinished feel to woodwork with colors such as neutral greys, blacks and whites, the style is functional and warm.

Is the carpet doing to dominate the center of your living room? Or is it going into a quiet cozy nook? From adding it just beside your bed, to your bathroom, the right carpet needs to go into the right place.

A waterproof one for the bathroom, a fluffy one beside your bed, a regal one in the living room, styling carpets to your space isn’t rocket science.

A carpet is subjected to plenty of dirt and stains. Hence, ensuring the right material, size, texture, density, colour and design are a must. Who likes a dirty carpet anyway?

While picking out the right carpet for yourself, you must keep in mind these factors that alter the shelf-life of rugs, and pick the one that suits your needs in the best way. For this, research is vital.

Cleaning and maintenance is something people seldom think about while investing in a carpet. The easiest ones to buy would be the ones which need just vacuuming.

You could even consider a carpet that can be machine washed. But things get complicated when your carpet thrives on dry cleaning or deep cleaning, making the maintenance bit a little harder. Hence choosing the most convenient method of maintenance is a must!

It is a known fact that carpets could trigger people with allergies since it collects plenty of dust. So you must consider the people living at home before investing in one.

Many carpets are also not pet-friendly, and end up gathering all their fur, making it a big eye sore. Every member of the family must be considered while picking out the right carpet. You don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable.

Did you know that there are floor carpets and wall carpets? And choosing the right one makes a world of a difference. The intention of use must be carefully understood while buying a carpet.

The biggest mistake you could make is to use a wall carpet on your floor. These end up getting dirty, losing texture and getting soiled oh-so-easily.

You don’t want to add woolen or fur rugs to a warm place. They will amplify the heat by many degrees. Adding carpets to humid places also cause the carpet to get dirty.

On the other hand, a cold place can use fluffier and warmer carpets. As opposed to cottons that will not serve any purpose. So think of the weather always, before investing in a carpet.
