If earlier a carpet was bought mainly to make the floor warm, now the situation has changed – the rug now plays the role of an integral part of the interior.
Considering the huge variety of carpets of different colors and sizes presented on the modern market, making a choice is not easy. The expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", designer Yulia Tychino, will help you with this.
How to choose the right carpet
Before purchasing a rug, it is important to consider the overall style of the interior that you want to create or already have.
First, decide what layout will be the main one. For example, a contrasting approach means that the carpet will stand out against the floor, walls, and furniture.
The non-contrasting method, in turn, involves choosing a carpet that matches the overall color scheme of the interior.
It is also important that the carpet matches the wall and ceiling finishes.
Don't choose a rug that's the same color as the wallpaper - this will make the room look like one big spot.
If the wallpaper is light, choose a floor covering that is 1-2 tones darker, and vice versa, if the walls are dark, let the carpet be a couple of tones lighter.
If there is an ornament or pattern on the walls, it can be repeated on the carpet.
