What size carpet is used in which room?
In addition to the obvious issues of color and style, which are determined by one’s personal taste, determining what type of carpet or carpet size is needed for a particular room, you also need to consider several factors.
Of course, the price will play an important role in this decision. However, within your budget, the type of fabric (weaving) and quality you choose are the most important factors in ensuring that you are happy with your new purchase. It is generally not recommended to place light colored needles in the hallway or hallway. why? Even the best quality needle tips cannot withstand high currents, especially at the entrance where dust and salt can damage the carpet. On the contrary, the beautiful soumak plain weave weave has a denser structure to resist dirt and traffic, and can be well suited for such applications. Needlepoints can be a wonderful addition to the bedroom (barefoot, from a comfort standpoint, rougher textured soumak may not be popular. These are just two examples of how different structural placements should be considered.
Another factor to consider is size. From small scattered rugs to beautiful rugs, the actual size of the room and the specific decorating scheme are crucial to determining the rug size that best suits your needs.
dining room
The size of the restaurant carpet should be determined based on the placement of chairs and tables and the absolute size of the room. Think about how many patterns are hidden or obscured under the table. Obviously, the central medallion design is not the ideal choice for this.
Carpets less than 7 or 7.5 feet wide will turn out to be uncomfortably small. 8′ x 10′ carpet is the most common suitable (minimum) size, unless the room and table are particularly large, then 9′ x 12′ or 10′ x 14′ oriental rugs may be better. The only case where the carpet width is less than 7 feet may be that the room itself is too narrow for a 7 foot wide carpet.
The reason for all this is that even a relatively narrow table is 42 inches wide. To prevent the front legs of the chair from hitting the carpet and the back legs falling off, even when someone is sitting at the table, even when someone is sitting at the table. Two extra feet are always needed on both sides of the table. This means that the rug for each seat on either side of the table should be 2 feet wide, so a total of 7′-9″ (absolute minimum width). A typical 6’x9′ area rug is only 5′-6″ wide and 8′ -6″ long, which is actually too narrow for tables and chairs.
living room
The living room can have multiple layouts and elements. Benches, chairs, temporary tables and lighting equipment can be arranged in a unified configuration or in separate sitting or conversation areas. In either case, your carpet should play a key role in focusing and improving the placement of other furniture. In fact, they should serve as the “base” for the design plan for any area where you use them.
There is no right way, and there is no wrong way. The larger the carpet, the more it can pull all the elements of the room together. The smaller the carpet, the less likely it is to pull all the elements of the room together. A larger carpet will make the room look more attractive. Smaller rugs define the social groups in the room.
The possibilities for decorating with carpets are endless. With Persian designed oriental rugs, you can be sure that every room in your home has the best color, design and quality.
