Things to Consider While Buying a New Carpet
If a carpet is properly fixed in the room, and it matches or contrasts with the color of the decor, it not only completes the look of the room, but also gives it a classy touch.
However, if you have bought a carpet that looks pretty on its own, but is not complementing the room on the whole, it means you have made a wrong choice of the carpet.
There are some important points that you need to consider while buying a carpet.
Besides the color and print, you need to analyze the traffic on the carpet, and whether a family member is allergic to a certain fiber.
Also, you need to make sure if you have furniture, or a door that does not allow high fiber carpets to be placed in the room.
First of all, think about the number of people that would generally be in the room where the carpet is going to be placed.
If the carpet is for your drawing room and you normally have a lot of guests, make sure to choose a carpet that is not very light in color so that footmarks or the color of any spilled drink or food does not make the carpet look dirty.
Also if the carpet is for kids' room, then you need to make sure it is slightly funky in color or it goes with the theme of the room, and since kids and pets make the carpets dirty the most, you need to keep in mind the color and design on the carpet.
If you are buying a carpet for a small room, a plain carpet is preferred.
A carpet with big designs in a small room will make the room look even smaller.
If it is for your bedroom, you need to make sure the color is soothing and relaxing, and in contrast with your furniture and curtains.
If you have a family member who uses a wheel-chair, you need to make sure that the carpet does not have high fibers that can cause hindrance in the mobility of the wheelchair.
One of the most important points while buying a carpet is to make sure any family member does not have any allergy with a certain carpet material.
Many people have allergies to polyester and nylon fibers.
Knowing in advance about such problems will help you find the carpet that is perfect for your home.
