You may visit different rug shops to find the right products for your space. You will need a covering to add color and sound absorption to hardwood floors. Smaller pieces of carpet can add color to rooms with carpeted floors. These are the three main types you’ll find in a rug store:
Oriental
This is a high-quality, hand-made carpet available in many sizes, colors, and designs. These carpets are primarily made in Asia, including China, India, Pakistan, and Iran. Cool, humid climates are better for wool production. This allows for a softening and smoother product. This material is hand-knitted (not to confuse with knitting) and dyed using either a synthetic or vegetable dying process.
There are two types of oriental carpets available. The first type is less tightly knotted and has bolder colors and geometric designs. The other type is designed to be sold on the market and has more knots per inch, as well as more detailed patterns and colors to attract buyers.
It can take 18 months to finish one of these carpets due to the amount and size of the knots and the care required. This type of carpet can be more costly. This type of covering may be used in more formal rooms or areas that have a lot of character and color. It may not be appropriate for areas with small children or pets.
Traditional
Most rug stores carry traditional pieces. These designs will reflect the influence of oriental carpets, particularly in modern styles in rich or neutral colors. There may be designs that look like the ones you have seen in your grandmother’s home but with a current color scheme. There are many antique carpets available. These rugs can be either flatwoven or wool-pile. These rugs are incredible for rooms that have antiques or where there is a mixture of old and new. These carpets can be used in any room in your home, even in high-traffic areas.
Modern
You may not see traditional furniture in a modern home. There are many modern rugs that feature simple and geometric designs. These rugs are available in neutral colors to match many of today’s home design trends. Bold colors can be used as the focal point of a room.
Modern rugs can give a traditional home a modern look. They can be used to tie together spaces.
The professionals at your local rug store can help you choose the right carpet for your space, regardless of your style preferences or home design. To get an idea of all the options available, visit multiple stores. Bring some photos of your rooms and discuss your design preferences.
