Are carpets suitable for modern interiors?
Why refuse a decorative reception with a great history, when it can be combined with a brick loft, and with a sofa Chesterfield, and with diverse ethnicity? Designers continue to be happy to use carpets in the design of the premises.
The carpet can be used as a dominant or local accent, for zoning or as a central element of its assembly, in combination with other carpets or solos.
Match the proportions of the rug, its brightness, and detail with the rest of the objects and the size of the room to achieve the desired atmosphere.
Let the lines of the carpet, its ornamentation, geometric pattern or structure echo the general lines of the room's interior, echo them: the main thing is to maintain the image.
Oriental style, ethic, and boho make it possible to complement the spectacular carpet with poufs and pillows, and to put floor carpets of different sizes one on top of the other. And don't forget the low, wide window sills, where it's all about pile, woven or felt carpets in size.
Monochrome in general scandi: here are appropriate and restrained “grandmother's carpet”, quoting oriental motifs, and neutral graphic products in the authentic northern technique.
Minimalism and high-tech require that the carpet be taken out of context and contrasted with its surroundings according to the following principle: laconic furniture and discreet overall scale — lush color and pronounced texture.
The avant-garde and contemporary, on the contrary, need organic integration, balance of all elements of the interior, including carpets.
Loft, industrial and rustic style with their abundance of stone, wood, and metal do not dictate muted shades, on the contrary — here the carpet is the main character, a bright color spot, which is designed to balance the brutality.
Richly ornamented carpets will fit perfectly into eclecticism and add energy to it — as well as in-country, and in procession, and in art deco.
Perhaps, the classic requires special attention. Here, when choosing carpets and using them, it is better to rely on the advice of connoisseurs.
The way of fastening can not be disguised, but exhibited: wooden planks, forged brackets, decorative eyelets, massive chains.
How to make a rug.
Proud of being a truly valuable specimen, the owners build the entire interior around it. But you can not be a snob and just choose a rug for comfort, and the carpet — the right place.
In the area of a room of more than 20 sq. m. on a floor two carpets are admissible and different: so underline appointment of different zones. In medium-sized rooms (from 15 to 20 sq. m.) the carpet is selected so that it does not have to be fitted with massive furniture, pressing down with a sofa or a cabinet. And they do not necessarily have a central location: rather, in the comfort zone, where the residents prefer to spend most of the time. In small rooms where it is difficult to cover more than six square meters with a carpet, small carpets look better than standard proportions of two to three but more elongated.
The optimal size of the floor carpet is the one that will allow you to arrange the furniture, creating a sense of space. If the rug serves as a semantic accent, it should combine objects: for example, armchairs and a coffee table are placed on the carpet completely, and the sofa — at least a third. If it is a stroke that emphasizes the composition, then a smaller rug is placed in front of the sofa or armchair, bed or mirror to read the entire picture.
Do you use a carpet to highlight the dining area? The legs of the chairs extended from behind the table should not pick up the edges of the rug. When choosing the rug and the position of the furniture on it, add a reserve at each end.
