For a living room or a children's room it is better to choose a lower pile, such carpets are more practical and there are no traces of furniture on them. But for the hallway or the kitchen, artificial carpets will do. They are resistant to abrasion and have a water repellent impregnation.
Color and pattern
According to the color scheme, the choice of carpets is unlimited. Remember that light tones visually increase space, while large geometric shapes are narrowed. Also, it should be borne in mind that on a colored carpet dirt is less noticeable than on a monophonic carpet. Therefore, for monotonous carpets need more care.
The carpet, like all interior items, must be combined with the overall style of the room. This is not necessary except for the children's room. Here you can choose pictures with flowers, cars or fairy-tale heroes.

With the help of medium-sized carpets, it is possible to single out individual zones of the room or create a bright accent on some particular area of the room. Well, small mats are often used near beds, armchairs or sofas.
So, adhering to the above simple tips, you do not have long to think about how to choose a carpet in a nursery, bedroom or another room. Good luck with your choice.
