A carpet brings a certain warmth and comfort to a room. It provides a finishing touch to the décor and is as important as that finishing stroke of an artwork. Every home is unique and requires different kinds of carpets to add the one element that makes it complete. Most people believe that carpets makes a room seem smaller, however placing carpets actually enhances the size of your room, visually altering the size to the human eye. In 2014, the most important factor is the kind of décor you have and how well the carpets blend into them. Having said that, striped carpets will be in vogue and textures and colour will define the carpet trend.
Say for an example, in a contemporary living room, plush shiny carpets with some sheen that adds glamour in a sophisticated fashion works magic. If old school is your style, then spread out the nostalgic oriental reds and blues that add intensity to any interior décor set-up yet carves a distinct space for itself.
The most high-traffic area of your home should be layered with carpets in darker hues. Carpets in the bedroom should be large enough so that furniture and décor can blend in and make the room look spacious. Also, the carpets should be placed in such a manner that one can experience the soft feel of the carpet when getting out of bed.
Bright-hued carpets are in vogue this season.
The sitting area is always wrought with ostentatious fixtures and decor items to present an artistic and classy appeal to the guests. One may add grace to the whole scheme by placing a contemporary carpet with bright colours, a plain rug with various weaves and textures and modern designs to the lounge area.
Children’s room should represent their persona; hence bright-hued carpets with quirky designs should be introduced and placed between the study table and the bed. The carpet and the curtains must be in contrasting shades to bring in positive vibes.
