Today, the carpet is not just put on the floor, it is used as a self-sufficient textile object. From the symbol of home comfort, it turned into a trendy thing: "Carpeting options" of works of world painting, copies of famous palace decorations and the work of leading designers of our time at your service.
In the old days, the level of wealth in the house was determined by the number of carpets in it. Today, not their number is appreciated primarily, but quality. Fans of antiques give tribute to natural oriental or Persian products, and avant-garde adherents are looking for an unusual appearance and fundamentally new materials. If traditional carpets live their lives and the fashion above them is almost no power, then it is impossible to say about modern designer products. New here appear rapidly.

Select the carpet design is easy: Take the remains of the tissues of the curtains, wallpaper samples and come with a photo of your room to a specialized salon. Professional consultants will help you decide. By ordering a product of a complex shape, it is necessary to carry out a very accurate measurement, create a carpet of the carpet in full size and "try" it in a particular interior. To navigate a little in the diversity of carpets, it is worth splitting all these products into three groups: textured, with a pattern and color. Textured carpets fit easily into any room, look good on the floor, on the floor of natural stone and porcelain stoneware. Carpets with a pattern should be in the center of the room, they need a place to "show themselves". Bright colors and graphic images make it possible to create an unusual living space in which the carpet becomes an ideal accent.

Strict Rules for the selection of the carpet does not exist, there are only some existing stereotypes. Round accepted in a square room under the table or use for zoning space in a long rectangular room. Oval and rectangle are more versatile, such a form often repeats the outlines of the dining table. If you need a large carpet (in the room), choose the one whose distance from its edges to the walls is 20-30cm. A large carpet (from 32.5 m) is able to form the appearance of the room. Many small rugs scattered deliberately carelessly, is an informal decorative solution. Prepare all possible options for the placement of furniture in advance. Place the carpet so that the sitting person can put both legs on it. The medium-sized carpet (from 1.51m) will become an independent element of the interior, it can be put on it a small table. Furniture located on the carpet, several adjusts the pile, but the good product will not suffer from this. Is the same items with sharp legs are better not to post it.
Opinion of a specialist
Handmade carpet - a full-fledged art object like painting or antique statuette. It is quite self-sufficient. With proper operation, the product will last at least 50 years, and the maximum term of his "life" is unlimited. Older existing carpets are more than 3 thousand years old. Do not store and do not finish the carpet indoors with high humidity. Try to make a straight sunlight on the product. The carpet is permissible to store rolled into the roll. But it must be remembered that it is best "feels", being ridiculated on the floor, because it was created for this. Do not forget to immediately deploy a carpet lying on the floor, 90 or 180. This will avoid uneven wear in those places where it is especially often.

Care for the carpet is no less responsible than its choice. The least requires care antique carpets. They are made on conscience, and their endurance can be envied. A number of simple recommendations will help extend the life of the carpet. Take care so that its edges are processed. Various methods and materials processing - overlock, cotton tape, tapestry and leather - have their advantages and cons. Skin is one of the most expensive options, and Overlock, on the contrary, the most simple and economical, although there are exceptions here. By individual order, you can invest the edge of the "golden" lyrex with an overlock. Carpets created by manual tafting, unlike industrial carpets, require special care: they should be vacuuming in one direction in a gentle mode, otherwise the threads will fall. Any wet cleaning of tuffing and woolen carpets will lead to their deformation. Vacuuming the carpet is preferably in the direction of the tilt of the pile, and 1 time per year should be cleaned of it from the inside. You do not need to knock out the carpet, it can damage it the basis, and the power of modern vacuum cleaners is quite enough.
