Rugs not only make the space cozy but are also an important highlight in interior design. Choosing a rug that matches the style of the house not only increases aesthetics but also brings maximum convenience. Here are some tips to help you choose the most suitable rug!

1. Choose a rug according to the interior style

• Modern, minimalist: Choose a plain, neutral-colored rug such as gray, white, beige, or with delicate geometric patterns.
• Classic, luxurious: Rugs with meticulous patterns, Oriental motifs or classic European style.
• Boho, natural: Hand-woven rugs, sedge, wool or fringe rugs create a sense of closeness.
• Scandinavian: Shaggy rugs or plain rugs with soft tones such as white, gray, beige.

2. Choose the right carpet size

• Living room: The carpet should be about 20-30cm wider than the length of the sofa to create a sense of balance.
• Bedroom: Choose a large carpet under the bed or a small carpet on both sides of the bed to increase warmth.
• Dining room: Choose a carpet that is larger than the dining table to ensure that the chair is still on the carpet when pulled out.

3. Coordinate the carpet color with the interior

• If the interior already has many patterns, choose a monochrome carpet to avoid confusion.
• If the space is simple, you can choose a patterned carpet to create an accent.
• Combine colors according to the principle of gentle contrast (for example: light wall + dark carpet) or harmonious harmony (for example: wooden furniture + brown or beige carpet).

4. Choose the right carpet material for your needs

• Shaggy carpets: Warm, suitable for bedrooms and living rooms, but more difficult to clean.
• Short-fiber carpets: Easy to clean, suitable for living rooms and dining rooms.
• Sedge and bamboo carpets: Suitable for natural style, easy to clean, suitable for tropical spaces.
• Non-slip carpets: Ideal for homes with small children or the elderly.

5. Some notes when using carpets

• Clean carpets regularly to avoid dust and bacteria.
• Use non-slip pads under the carpet to ensure safety.
• If you have pets, choose carpets that are anti-pilling and easy to clean.

With the above suggestions, you can easily choose a carpet that suits your style and needs. Try it now to make your living space more perfect! 🏡✨
