An interior element such as a carpet has not only an aesthetic function. This product is also intended to serve as insulation, sound and heat insulation, etc.

Therefore, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, advises to approach the choice of a carpet with special care and focus, first of all, on the material, which, as we know, can be synthetic or natural.

Viscose or artificial silk

Such products have many advantages. I would especially like to highlight their high wear resistance, attractive shine and ease of maintenance – you can handle cleaning such a carpet yourself.

In addition, viscose rugs do not wear out, do not wrinkle, and do not become electrified.

Polyamide or nylon

These products are distinguished by such qualities as durability and beauty, because they often have bright pictures on them. Polyamide, among other things, has high fire-resistant properties and dries quickly.

Polypropylene

Polypropylene carpets are chosen because they have a smooth thread structure and are easy to care for. Such a product will serve you for about 5-6 years, and buying a new one will not cost much.

Polyester

If you need a soft, durable and highly insulating rug, polyester should be your choice. And despite its fluffiness, it is easy to care for.

Wool

Wool carpets are, of course, very warm and also pleasant to the touch. The service life of such a product is approximately 50 years.

Silk

If you are interested in qualities such as durability, bright colors and luxury, you can be sure that you will find all of them in silk carpets.
