Carpets Add Style
By Rajiv Sahadevan
Dual Pleasure
Two-way carpets can be beneficial for the areas of your home that are most walked upon such as hall and certain corridors. Wall-to-wall carpeting makes a room look elegant but proves to be a challenge when it comes to keeping it clean, an alternative to this can be the carpet tiles. These are good for children's room as they are easy to install, come in colorful patters and are easy to clean.
Knotty Boy
Though Persian carpets are the best, if your budget does not permit an original Persian rug, go for an imitation. It will look real but the color may not hold for long. While buying a carpet, check for the number of knots. The Carpet quality increases with the number of knots. Match your carpet to the rest of your home - choose something that is a combination of comfort and durability. Use softer carpets for bedrooms. A turf carpet is great for outdoors. Remember that if maintained well, most carpets will last long. Today, the most popular ones are the loop pile and cut pile. A woolen carpet is very luxurious and gives you a feeling of being pampered. It is no doubt expensive, but it has superior quality and lasts for over 30years. There are over 12 different types of carpets like acrylic, nylon, olefin, woven, needle felt etc. woven is of the highest quality and come with intricate patterns. Olefin is low-cost, strong and easy to clean, but it gets crushed very easily. Nylon carpeting is the next best choice after wool, it is cheaper than wool. Needle felt carpets are produced by electrostatic attraction of individual fibers. It is a unique carpet and is extremely durable.
