Carpets Could Help to Create an Atmosphere in the Home

Thanks to the many textures, styles and colors, carpets could help create an atmosphere one wants for the home, from the most subdued to the most dazzling. Carpet flooring is practical since it is easy on the feet, prevents cushion falls and slips, reduces noise and, due to the inherent insulating properties, could help reduce heating and air conditioning costs.

Carpet is a wonderful home decorating element as well. There is a wide range of choices compared to other floor covering in terms of making a fashion statement for a home decor. Innovations in manufacturing technology and yarn provide the very latest in modern carpet pattern, color and texture.

When integrated to a room decor, contemporary textured carpeting boosts the perception of value and quality and provides a delightful contrast to smooth surface areas such as furniture and walls. Nowadays, there are dozens and dozens of various color ranges with a lot of patterns in each range. Nothing beats the fuzzy, warm feeling of carpet on bare feet first thing in the morning.

Carpets take on a tool daily, as it gets sat on, sat and played on. It is a miracle that it appears new in the first place. There are three general carpeting design categories that have their own individual way of keeping the flooring looking new. The various carpet colors add a new look and feel to the home environment.

DARK COLOR CARPET

Dark carpets, depending on the hue, could hide almost anything. For instance, a dark chocolate brown could hide a lot of wear and tear. This is particularly great if there are people around who tend to spill their food and drinks. Not only would dark colors hide stains and spills better, they also hide markings from foot traffic and dirt. The capability to hide wear on the flooring is what keeps it looking new for a long time. One thing on dark carpet though, is that just because spots and dirt are not seen easily on the surface; it doesn't mean they don't exist. That is why being aware of what actually is on the flooring and cleaning it consistently would help keep it really clean even when it is difficult to see the dirt.

LIGHT COLOR CARPETING

Light colored carpets could make rooms in the home look bright. The downside however is that it is likely to reveal the results of high traffic. If the carpeting sees plenty of messes, spills and shoe traffic, the light-colored carpeting is more likely to show signs of aging more rapidly than other colors.

PATTERN CARPET

This is not a common kind of carpet that one would see in residential places. Patterned carpets could be likely seen in huge rooms at places like convention centers and hotels. The patterned style is made to draw the eye to the design, which makes it harder to see if the flooring is dirty or not. Not only are there designs on the flooring, but usually, they are primarily dark shades. This is strategically done as the commercial spaces tend to see so much heavy use and foot wear, that it would almost impossible to keep it looking good for many years.

A lot of people love the thought of having light carpeting in their home, and it could look great in some homes with less chances of dirt and spilling. With that being said, the most practical choice for most homeowners is darker carpet, at least in spaces that are the most used.
