Living room carpets
Lounge rugs
One of the most important rooms in a home is the living room. It is the part of our private sphere that we share with others. It is where we welcome our guests. This is the room where most events take place, so the lounge is where most of the decorations are placed. A room that reflects us to the outside world. In addition to furniture and other textiles, more and more people are finding rugs important in the living room. A beautiful marble floor gives a real luxury, but is cold and hard. A bare floor does not create a cosy atmosphere. Of course, if you've already spent a lot of money on a beautiful floor, it's not worth covering the whole thing. Carpets in the lounge should only be placed in certain areas. The biggest rug is in front of the sofa, under the coffee table. Here you should use a maximum of 200x300 carpet. If there is still plenty of empty space, you can choose a smaller rug to match the lounge rug. It is not advisable to place a rug under the seating area or under the cupboards. On the one hand, it can damage the carpet, and on the other hand, the part of the carpet that is not visible is bought unnecessarily. The lounge rug is purse dependent, you can buy a luxury handmade Persian carpet that will last you a lifetime, or you can think short term and opt for a machine-made Persian rug. A hand-knotted rug is made from 100% wool and every single part is made by a human being. Machine-made carpet is usually made of polyester and is produced in huge factories. In between the two categories is the machine-made Persian rug made of acrylic with original Iranian designs. Acrylic carpet contains 1 million machine knots per square metre. This is a very respectable knot density. Whichever you choose, you're sure to find the right rug for your living room at CarpetDepo. Don't worry if the carpet doesn't fit the room, CarpetDepo will take care of the return delivery, which is free of charge for you. I'm sure you can't wear shoes in your living room either, so you can lay any rug you like. The only thing to watch out for is moths. Except for machine made carpets. Wool carpets should be vacuumed every 1-2 weeks in the direction of the fibre. This both strengthens the carpet and keeps the moths from getting under the carpet. Wool carpets should also only be vacuumed in the direction of the fibres and on the lowest setting of the vacuum cleaner!!!
