One of the most important decoration elements in every home is the carpet. Carpets, especially hand-woven Iranian carpets, are considered a work of art and have different patterns and types, each of which creates a special style and mood in the home. In many cases, this diversity causes buyers to be confused and ultimately choose inappropriate carpets.
Most people go to stores and choose the best carpet according to their budget. A point that is usually forgotten is that every carpet, no matter how beautiful and high-quality it is, is not suitable for every house, and choosing the right carpet has principles and rules.
The carpet should be chosen according to the type of decoration and its use should be predetermined. The carpet chosen for the living room is different from the bedroom carpet in terms of material and design. Together, we will examine the points that need to be taken care of when choosing a carpet for the home.
When to choose the carpet?
The first point when choosing a carpet is when to buy it. If you intend to change the decoration or buy a dowry, the first thing you should get is a carpet. Buy your favorite carpet according to the space of the house and rooms and then coordinate other items with it. This makes the decoration design easier. In this case, you have already determined the style of your home. You can even add different elements to your home decor according to the design of the carpet you bought.
Choosing the type of carpet
Carpets have different types. Machine-made carpets are usually made of acrylic, polypropylene and polyester with a combination of these. Each of these types has its own advantages.
In terms of durability and maintaining the appearance, acrylic is considered the best material.
Polypropylene has a high color acceptability, and for this reason, the variety of colors in this type of carpets is high.
Polyester or artificial silk carpets have a variety of colors and designs and less fluff.
Handwoven carpets are also divided into silk and wool.
Silk carpets have a finer texture, more elegance and naturally have a higher price than wool carpets.
Woolen carpets have a lower price and less elegance, but the special beauty of hand-woven carpets can also be seen in this type.
The choice of carpet and its material is made according to the budget that we have considered. High quality carpets are expensive. However, we must note that the carpet is one of the most important elements of our home. Instead of buying cheap materials that lose their shape after a while, it is better to save more time and buy a carpet that lasts longer.
To choose the material, we must pay attention to the environment where we use the carpet. At this stage, the term “carpet walker” is introduced. The resistance of carpets to traffic is different.
Carpets that have a delicate texture are more suitable for spaces such as the bedroom where there is less traffic.
Thick and durable models can be used for high-traffic spaces such as the living room.
When choosing the material of the carpet, pay attention to its ability to be washed. This issue is especially important for families who have small children or pets, or who live in big and polluted cities.
Fat stains are difficult to remove from polyester carpets.
Acrylic carpets are highly washable and do not lose their beauty when exposed to water and sunlight.
