The wrong choice of flooring can ruin the entire apartment.
Therefore, if you are faced with a choice between laminate or carpet, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, advises answering several questions.
The first one is: Do you have any pets?
If the answer is yes, then you should take a closer look at the carpet - your pet will certainly enjoy basking in the soft pile, and the paws of your four-legged friend will not slide on the smooth floor.
But this solution also has its downsides - the main drawback is that hair and dust will accumulate in the carpet, which is highly undesirable for both neat housewives and allergy sufferers.
Another important factor is the presence of children.
Here, again, it’s a double-edged sword – although it will be more comfortable and warmer for a child to lie on a carpeted floor, he can trip and fall on the carpet.
If you are determined to turn your apartment into a cozy corner, you cannot do without a fluffy, long-pile carpet.
