A carpet is a thing that is always in fashion. An interesting and practical accent in the interior is what you need!
Varieties of carpets made of wool
The most popular is sheep's wool, it can be replaced by goat or camel. Cotton, jute, coconut fiber, flax and hemp are environmentally friendly materials for carpet making. The quality of these materials is very high. By the amount of wool in the carpet, it can be half wool (less than 50%), woolen (from 50% or more, often observe the proportion of 20% nylon and 80% wool), pure wool (100% wool).
The more natural the base, the more difficult it is to paint. A good product has a calm color. There is a trend: the brighter (acid) carpet, the lower its quality, but this is not 100% regularity. The wool itself also differs in quality: the indicator depends on the breed of the animal, the conditions of keeping, the way of processing the raw material after the haircut. To get the original texture in the product add silk or special substitutes in the form of viscose and polyamide.
Advantages of woolen floor carpets
Overflow and shine is a characteristic feature of silk yarn. The fibers of a natural woolen carpet in different directions reflect the sun's rays, that is, they do not shine. An additional cosiness is created in the house. Silk coatings are several orders of magnitude more expensive than woolen ones.
The natural base does not contain allergens, in addition, for mites and bacteria, such an environment is not suitable. Chemical additives in the composition of fibers can damage human health. High-quality floor covering is fire-resistant, wear resistance is high enough. The product will serve you for decades. Models with chemical additives "live" less, they are painfully tolerated procedures in professional dry cleaning, there may be stains. Woolen, lint-free carpets are more resistant to dirt, so they are easier to clean. For the care of a short pile, a long soft bristle is suitable, a synthetic carpet "loves" a short stubble, a nozzle without bristles is required for a long fluffy pile.
Perhaps, the main advantages of a carpet of wool consist in its high ecological compatibility, durability and the ability to preserve heat. Carpet can, how to become a decorative element, and a practical attribute in any room. In fact, this is an additional insulation, which can be placed on the floor and walls. On the walls, carpets can be seen in a country house, in apartments this method is not used often. A floor covering will place accents. This is an excellent idea in the case when the total space needs to be divided into zones. For example, in a room of furniture of a calm pastel color, a dark or bright carpet will become a saturated spot.
We can choose a model of any shape, the most popular are oval wool carpets, rectangular and square. Children's woolen carpets can have intricate outlines of any shade. You can place the product in any part of the room: in the center, in the far corner, at the sofa. To the cover does not slip from side to side, it was not going to be an accordion, buy a special anti-slip substrate. This solution is especially important if the floor is slippery, there are children or old people in the apartment.
In the bedroom, the carpet should go under the bed and largely protrude beyond it. The sofa area together with the chairs and coffee table in the living room should be completely closed, and not some separate part.
The fusion style is represented by unnatural colors and shapes, futuristic drawings. Popular animalistic prints in the form of different birds and animals. The graphics are characterized by bands and lines, ornaments. Antigraphy likes a blurred background, gradient. Lacework and vintage products deserve special attention. Correctly matched carpet will add meaning to the space. In addition to pastel colors, "wine" colors, citrus, mint, green and blue shades are relevant.
