What size rug for which room?
In addition to the obvious questions about color and style that need to be determined by the individual taste of a person, in order to determine what type of rug or what size of rug is needed for a given room, you must consider several factors.
Of course, price will play an important role in this decision. However, with your budget options, the type of construction (weaving) and the quality you choose will be a key factor in ensuring that you are happy with your new purchase. It is usually not recommended to place a light runner with a needle in the lobby or corridor. What for? Even outerwear is not designed to maintain high intensity of movement, especially in places where dirt and salt can damage the mat. Conversely, a beautiful Sumak flat weave, which has a much more dense construction to withstand dirt and movement, may be ideal for such an application. The tip of the needle can be a great addition to the bedroom (side foot area where a bag with a coarser texture may be less desirable than a comfortable point of view.
Another factor you definitely want to consider is size. From small markers to carpet mats, both the actual size of the room and the specific decoration scheme are crucial for determining the size of the carpet that best suits your needs.
Canteen
Dining room mats should be designed for seating chairs and tables, as well as for the absolute dimensions of the room. Consider which part of the pattern will be hidden or shaded under the table. Obviously, the design of the center of the medallion would not be the ideal choice for this purpose.
A rug less than 7 or 7.5 feet wide would be inconveniently small. 8 * the carpet is the most common suitable (minimum) size, unless the room and table are exceptionally large, and then 9 * or 10 × Oriental carpet could be better. The only time a carpet has a width of less than 7 feet may be sufficient when the room itself is too limited by 7-foot wide carpets.
The reason for all this is that even a relatively narrow table will be 42 inches wide. To prevent the front legs of the chair on the rug and rear legs to be lowered, even when someone is at the table, even when someone is at the table. On both sides of the table, two additional legs are always required. This means that the carpet should be 2 feet wider for each chair on each side of the table, therefore up to a total of 7 "(absolute minimum width). A typical 6 × 9 area of the carpet will be 5 × 6 inches and 8 inches long, which is really too narrow for the table and chairs.
Living room
There may be many layouts and elements in a residential area. Sofas, chairs, tables and lamps can be located in a single unified configuration or in separate places for sitting or conversations. In any case, your carpets should play a key role in focusing and improving the placement of your other furniture. In essence, they should function as the “foundation” of your project plan for any area in which they are used.
There is no right path, and no wrong path. The larger the rug, the more it will pull all the elements of the room together. The smaller the rug, the less it will pull all the elements of the room together. A large carpet will make the room more attractive. A smaller carpet will define the social groups inside the room.
The possibilities for decorating with carpets are endless, and with a focus on the Persian design of oriental carpet, you can be assured of the best color, design and quality for every room in your house.
