What carpets are in fashion
In modern interiors, wall and floor carpets are in demand and relevant, enhancing the decor and giving it a special charm.
Shapes and sizes
The size and shape of the canvases depend on the overall concept of interior design. This can be either a huge canvas for a spacious room or a narrow bedside rug in a small bedroom.
Small matching rugs are good for zoning a space.
The most popular canvases are square or rectangular in shape, but models of other configurations are also trending:
- round;
- oval;
- multifaceted;
- irregular shape, limited by an arbitrary line;
- composed of individual fragments;
- imitating animal skins;
- A special place is occupied by models in eco-style, created based on the natural environment.
What materials?
- Wool is a classic of the genre. A wool carpet, especially handmade, will bring an atmosphere of exquisite luxury and comfort. The best wool is Afghan lamb or Australian white sheep.To give woolen products a special shine, silk threads are woven into the carpet fabric, while synthetic threads add strength and wear resistance to the carpet.
- Cotton is often used to make rugs for children's rooms and bathrooms. The products are practical and do not cause allergies.
- Silk is a material for expensive carpets. The products are exquisitely beautiful, but are not durable.
- Synthetic materials – polypropylene, polyamide, polyester. Products made from synthetic fibers have many advantages. They do not fade, are easy to clean, and are strong and durable. The appearance is very similar to wool, but much cheaper.
Styles
