Keys to choosing your carpet floor

• Space size

Carpet floors, in addition to giving warmth and making our home more comfortable, serve to visually delimit areas. Wide spaces can easily be set with carpeted floors and it is important, in this case, to choose a color that highlights the spaciousness.

• Material

The carpet floors depending on the manufacturer come in different materials, you can get from synthetic, to floors with natural bristles, but usually the latter are only available for not so large spaces. Also and thanks to technology, there are carpet floors in sustainable and hypoallergenic materials, to avoid health problems.

• Printed or one-color

This kind of flooring is normally the star of the room it is installed. If simple lines and plain colors own your room, you should indeed break all that symmetry with a nice patterned carpet floor. But if your cushions are geometric, you have crocheted blankets and your walls are full of decoration, you may need to soften your living room with a one-color carpet floor. Strike a balance; it is a matter of taste.

• Classic or trendy

This is where the budget you have for your carpet floor comes into play. If you are looking for something that will survive the passing of the years and that combines with all styles, opt for the classic; invest in a good timeless carpet flooring. But, if trends are your thing, bet on a synthetic with the pattern and color of the moment to bring joy to your living room.

Light stains: you can use white vinegar by diluting 50 ml in a glass of water. Pour it on the stain, let the mixture act for a few minutes and then rub with a brush to remove the remains of the stain. Once you have finished, wipe with a damp cloth, vacuum and that’s it.
