Every household in Europe and America must have carpets. Did you use them correctly?

The weather is getting colder. I wonder if you have prepared some warm things for your family in case of emergency? There are many things at home that can raise the temperature. Pillows, bedding and carpets are all good choices.

However, we can change pillows and bedding at any time, but the carpet can't be so casual. If you want to change the carpet, you might as well know more about it first.

Carpets can not only help us "soften" wooden floors or stone floors to provide safety, but also "enclose" furniture and divide functions in a complex space.

Carpet plays an important role in soft packaging home life, which can help cover up many shortcomings. Carpets of different materials and colors can set off the temperature of the space.

A good carpet can completely change the atmosphere of a room. But the right carpet won't work when it meets the wrong space. Today, I will give you some suggestions on carpet selection, so that everyone can spend autumn and winter happily.

-Why are carpets important? -

When people stop blindly pursuing minimalism and begin to return to the warmth of home, the softness of the carpet and the feeling of self-enjoyment make our life have a higher quality. The floor goes well with the carpet. Our usual practice is to change the floor covering according to the season.

We need to use textured wool carpet in winter to provide comfort and warmth, and replace it with fine cotton carpet in summer to get a cool and simple appearance.

In the eyes of designers, carpet is one of the primary considerations in decorating rooms, especially in the era of hardcover rooms. Because the carpet is used as the ground, it is often easier to match the wall of heaven and earth.

-How to choose carpets-

When discussing space collocation, we always talk about visual effects, but for carpets, which are highly practical products, it is much more important to choose suitable materials before considering colors and patterns.

How to choose the right material? You can try to ask yourself some questions: What is the function of this room? Who took a long time? How long will it take? Your answer will directly affect your choice.

At the same time, it should also be considered in daily life. Do pets and children use this space? If there is an old man, will this carpet trip or something?

For example, when choosing carpets for children's rooms, we often choose polypropylene carpets made of antifouling materials, or match carpets for your study, so a high-grade silk carpet will set off the atmosphere. 、

-How to put the carpet-

Carpets are naturally small and beautiful, but in order to have the greatest impact, please choose a bigger carpet as much as possible. Put the furniture on the edge of the carpet, but pay attention to put the whole furniture or at least the front foot on the carpet to make the furniture form a whole. In the design of the living room, we often put the sofa, coffee table and TV cabinet together in this way.

If it's a bedroom, we don't have to choose a big carpet. We can spread a long carpet on one side of the bed, or we can choose a slightly larger carpet and put it under the bed so that it can be seen around. If you use a carpet in a restaurant, make sure it is under the table, completely under the chair.

Long carpets are relatively narrow. Besides being placed on one side of the bed, it is also suitable for being placed in front of stairs, porches or sofas.

Long carpets can also be used to divide rooms. In the18th century, they were used to protect expensive carpets in big houses, but today, they are sought after by themselves.

Carpets provide flexibility to adapt to seasonal changes, so we can buy an extra carpet or a smaller carpet, and the two carpets are stacked together to make the texture contrast.

-What kind of materials and styles do you choose-

① Wool carpet

The natural characteristics of wool make it very suitable for carpet materials. Not only is it luxurious in appearance, but it is also particularly resistant to wear and dirt. At the same time, it also has excellent heat and sound insulation effect.

Although pure wool carpets are more expensive than synthetic carpets, wool is actually more durable than many other fibers, so it is worthwhile to invest so little.

But pure wool carpets are not suitable for all spaces. In children's rooms that need wear-resistant materials, it will be much better to choose the mixed materials of wool, nylon and polypropylene. Of course, the higher the artificial content, the less the natural characteristics of wool.

② Plant fiber carpet

Wool is not the only natural material for making carpets. Linen carpets are strong, elastic and durable. This kind of carpet can also absorb the moisture in the air and keep the humidity balance of the air. They can also help improve the air quality by absorbing the toxins in the air.

Linen carpets are very suitable for living and activity places where we often walk, such as corridors and kitchens, while jute is more durable than sisal.

This kind of carpet is not dirty and vacuumed, but avoid sprinkling some soup on it, because they are easily polluted by these sewage.

③ Synthetic carpet

Anti-fouling and anti-fading, very durable, easy to clean and economical. Wool flattens more easily than wool carpets. So short wool carpet is more suitable for places where people often pass by.

Nylon is considered to be the most durable synthetic fiber. Nylon carpet is certainly more expensive than synthetic fiber carpet, but it has a long service life and is enough for you to earn money back.

④ Silk and cotton carpets

The luster of silk carpet is very suitable for luxury bedroom or living room. It feels super soft, usually not as strong as wool, and the price is more expensive. More importantly, it is also difficult to clean.

Cotton is a powerful, multifunctional and relatively cheap natural product. But its disadvantage is that it is too resistant to dirt. If you choose as small as possible, it will be easier to clean.

⑤ Twist velvet carpet

Different velvet will not only affect the appearance of carpet, but also affect the degree of wear. Twist velvet is the most popular. Fibers are woven in different ways, and finally the carpet is hard and wear-resistant. Twist velvet carpet has many colors and styles to choose from according to different weaving methods.

⑥ Cut velvet carpet

The surface of the carpet is cut so that the surface is covered with fluff and looks softer. Generally, carpets are cut on one side, and they can also be printed and lined with each other after cutting.

The pile structure of cut pile carpet is suede-like, with fine pile and soft hand feel. The pile length is generally between 5-30 mm. The short pile carpet has good durability, light walking and strong practicability, but it lacks luxury and poor comfort and elasticity. Long-pile carpets are soft and plump, with good elasticity and warmth retention, and are mostly used in hotels, hotels, exhibition halls and so on.

⑦ Ring carpet

The pile surface of terry carpet is composed of terry piles with a certain height. Terry pile is neat and uniform, carpet surface hardness is moderate and smooth, walking is comfortable, wear resistance is good, and cleaning is easy. Suitable for laying in places where people walk a lot.

If we change the height of terry pile, or cut some terry pile, we can show different patterns, which are subtle and elegant, and can create visual weight. But it is not suitable to be placed under four-legged furniture, and it is easy to sink in and not easy to move.

⑧ Flat woven carpet

Plain woven carpet has become a fashionable substitute for pile carpet because of its durable structure and ingenious weaving texture. If you don't like thick carpet, you can try it. It is woven evenly, and there is no fluff on the carpet surface. It is made of thread, just like a thick cloth, which is not easy to hide evil and shelter evil.

But if you have a cat o(=? ェ? =)m ... Maybe it's okay, so go up and grab it. It is better to choose nylon carpet at this time.
