How to use a carpet
properly
Carpets play a fundamental role in most decorative approaches, bridging the gap between the formal and the casual.
Color
Using the appropriate carpet is essential for a high-quality ambience. If the space is already furnished, choose a carpet that matches the prevalent color. In an environment decorated with prints, use solid colors with constant border. Do you want your carpet to be the center of attention? Choose one that reflects the most vibrant hue in the room, making sure there is contrast between the colors and carpet’s design.
Space
A room may be defined by a good carpet. When pieces of furniture are involved, an intimate and impacting dialogue takes place. Sizes are important. A subtler result is achieved with neutral carpets that may add texture and smoothness to surfaces. And more, in ample spaces, they determine the ambience.
Pattern – Suggestions to work with prints:
• To achieve subjective effects, select a carpet with low contrast between base and pattern. If the room bears mixed motifs, choose a carpet with small repeated elements, to neutralize the excess of patterns.
• To avoid excess, choose a carpet with a pattern different from that of the walls.
• Choose a pattern that matches the furniture or that creates a special atmosphere.
Patterns must be in a scale different from that of the other patterns in the room. Anyway, always try to consult a professional interior designer or a carpet dealer.
