When decorating a living room, many people refuse to have a carpet.

And in vain, because this interior detail makes the room more beautiful and cozy.

Carpeting creates that very “homey” atmosphere.

But this is not the only reason to lay a carpet in the living room.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, named an unexpected effect from the presence of the product in the room.

Why Put a Carpet in the Living Room

It turns out that carpeting helps to visually expand the space.

If the floor is "bare", the room will start to seem cramped. The feeling of comfort and coziness will disappear.

But the presence of a carpet will visually make the living room more spacious.

But to achieve the desired result, the product must be chosen correctly.

So, it is advisable to use a single-color and very large carpet: it should cover almost the entire floor.

The distance between the walls and the edges of the product should be no more than 20 centimeters.

But using small carpets is a huge mistake. These interior details will create a feeling of chaos, excessive diversity and "fragmentation" of the room.

Earlier, the expert told how to “fix” a narrow bathroom.
