1. Size of the carpet
Selecting the right size carpet is a fretting task. A carpet that is too small for the living room will create a disconnected and fragmented look. While a carpet that is too large will overwhelm the space. Choosing a carpet that is proportional to the area of the room adds depth and balance to the living room.
Read on for a general guideline on the different design layouts that can be created by carpet positioning.
1.1 wall-to-wall carpet
A wall-to-wall carpet is a classic choice as it brings an expression of style and comfort to the room. It covers the entire floor and insulates the room to keep it warm and cozy. These large carpets make the room appear longer and wider.
1.2 medium-sized carpet
Medium-sized carpets are the one that is placed at the center of the room and positioned under the seating arrangements. These carpets usually run under the center table and the sofa. This approach of orienting the carpet creates a spacious look and brings symmetry to the room. A large floor rug placed under the table and sofa dominates the center of the room.
1.3 small sized carpet
A small-sized carpet comes under the center table leaving sufficient space between the edge of the carpet and other furniture of the room. This is a viable method when you have two sofas and multiple furniture and you want to converge them all to create a harmonic look in the living room.
Arattica considers the various size requirements of carpets from the customer and offers a spectrum of different size carpets to choose from. We also take the customization order and fabricate a carpet according to your desired size.
2. Color of the carpet
Selecting the color for a carpet is a challenging task as it gleams or drabs the overall look of the room. Even though selecting the color of the carpet is subjective and depends on personal taste, it should blend with the wall paint color and the sofa. The selected color should also complement the other decor pieces of the room.
Here is a quick run-down on the generic directives on the color pallet and its impact on the design of a living room.
Dark shades of color make the room look warm and cozy.
Lighter-colored or monochromatic colored carpets open up the space and make the room appear larger.
On the other hand, neutral colors like beige and gray are always in vogue. These colors coordinate well with other furniture and let them stand out. These colors usually do not overpower the room.
The most common and widely followed approach is either selecting a color that is in contrast to the wall paint or selecting a color to match another accent of the room.
Selecting the carpet color is also influenced by the amount of natural light the room gets. For instance, a light-colored carpet in a room that gets a lot of natural sunlight will mostly look the same. Whereas, a dark-colored carpet placed in a room that has large and open windows to let the natural light in looks one or two shades darker than the original color.
At Arattica, we offer vivid and soothing colors carpets that can be worked in different ways to obtain different looks for a living room. We mostly use natural dyes that stay and do not fade for a long lasting time.
3. The pattern of the carpet
Incorporating patterns in designing the interior of a living room is a way to reflect our personality in decoring. A right pattern carpet in the living room eminence the visual effect of the space and symbolizes the individual taste. A floral design carpet interprets the subtle and peace, stripes and graphic pattern interprets the free spirit and a timeless traditional design pattern interprets the rich heritage.
Balancing a patterned carpet with the rest of the furniture is a thought demanding process as a wrong blend of patterns and other elements of the room creates a supersaturated look.
For a small room, consider a carpet that has small prints and fewer repeats. This will make the room look large and spacious. For a mid-sized room, choosing a carpet with stripes expands the room and makes it look enlarged. If the room is large and huge, carpets with warm or bold colors with more repeats of patterns will fill the space and tune the harmony.
At Arattica, we have different patterns like ACACIA a floral pattern collection, and IRA collection whose design inspired by earth that can be easily synchronized with the distinct interiors.
