Carpet in the bedroom

The bedroom is a special room of the dwelling, therefore its atmosphere should be unique, relaxing, and relaxing. One of the key design elements of this room is a carpet. Being a vivid accent that attracts attention, it is able to change the design style, set an idea of ​​a style or make the general look of a room well-groomed, bringing to it a feeling of home comfort.

However, in order to correctly and harmoniously choose a carpet in such a room, you need to know its varieties, structural features and color combinations.

Kinds

There are different carpets, which are divided into pile and lint-free.

The first models are being bought on the floor, the creation process of which consists of using three threads:

  • the main one, which forms the base of the carpet;
  • pile, which is attached to the base;
  • the fixing, reliably fixing pile to the basis.

Creation of carpets is carried out in three different ways:

  • weaving, in which the base is created by rounding the warp threads;
  • typing, implying needle-punched method;
  • fragmentary, the creation process of which consists of gluing the fragments to the base with special glue.

The base of the carpet is one of the key points of choice. It depends on it the durability of the model, its resistance to abrasion and loss of villi. Despite the fact that the main line of carpet flooring for the bedroom belongs to the long pile, and its degree of "fluffiness" is from 2.5 to 10 cm in height, these products have their own classification.

They are divided into 4 main types:

  • saxony - the structure of the pile, in which the work uses curly fibers of the same thickness and length;
  • shaggy (“Shaggy”) - texture, similar to the Saxon analogue with a small difference: twisted villi of the same length, forming a canvas, differ in thickness;
  • frieze - Pile with heat treatment, the texture of which is characterized by elasticity and a special torsion of the threads, due to which the pile is resistant to creasing;
  • cut loop - texture of the villi of the combined type, which is a mix of cut and uncut in the middle of the loops.

Each type of carpet is unique in its own way; at the expense of the villi themselves and the density of filling the canvas, they are distinguished by a different type of texture. And thanks to the different material used, the difference between the species is increasing.

In each category, you can choose a model with good performance, which will serve as an interior decoration for many years, having an attractive appearance for a long time.

Benefits

Carpets on the floor of the bedroom have a lot of advantages, they are:

  • they are carried out using a mass machine method on professional equipment, at home on a special machine or manually using improvised means;
  • they are distinguished by different types of raw materials used, involving in the work threads of natural, artificial or mixed origin;

Modern carpet in the bedroom is a unique accessory of the interior of a special room. It is able to fit into any design idea, be it a classic style, art deco, vintage, glamor, neo-baroque, avant-garde, or another solution to an interior composition. It can be simple, modest or cool and even pretentious, which is a complex 3D pattern with a smooth and fuzzy surface of the front side.

Minuses

Carpets in the bedroom - a separate line of carpets,which needs careful care: most models do not provide for daily cleaning. As a rule, such coatings can be vacuumed only once a week. Not every model can withstand cleaning with a vacuum cleaner.

Regardless of the length of the pile, carpets accumulate dust, not only on the surface, but even down to the base. This requires cleaning the fabric on both sides, which is not always possible: carpet covering the whole area of ​​the room does not provide for this. Some products are characterized by the presence of static electricity, which is unpleasant when in contact, besides it damages the health of the user.

This applies not only wool, but also some synthetic models.

The natural composition of the product (cotton, silk, wool) is pleasant to the body. These carpets are soft, fluffy, but they quickly lose the beauty of their appearance. Synthetics is durable (polyester, polyurethane, acrylic), but sometimes it is able to roll or fade in the sun. The choice is made on the basis of considerations of practicality, not forgetting about the color.

Some models, especially with a long nap, have the ability to “hide” from the user all small items that fall on the floor (clips, rings, earrings, pins, food crumbs and other trifles).

Forms and sizes

Models of carpets in the bedroom are diverse and are subject to the characteristics of the interior or area of ​​the room. They can repeat the shape of the furniture, bay window, differing in size and shape.

The most popular products are canvases in the form of geometric shapes:

  • rectangular;
  • oval;
  • round;
  • square.

In addition to the standard, there are unusual options. This may be an asymmetric model with an edge in the form of scallops, zigzags, a variant in the form of a large flower or a whole inflorescence, a semicircle with a figured edge or another motive at the discretion of the buyer.

Non-standard products are made to order, usually these are models for individual zones (for example, a bay window or a podium).

Size range

The size of the carpet in the bedroom depends on the characteristics of a particular room.

In order to satisfy the most demanding customer preferences, trademarks issue different variations of size groups, which are conventionally divided into:

  • small and small, accentuating one bedroom area or being a bedside rug;
  • medium, covering the area under the bed and having a margin of 50-70 cm on each side;
  • large, the dimensions of which allow to place the carpet over the entire area of ​​the room.

The parameters of each group allow small deviations up or down, while manufacturers try to adhere to generally accepted standards.

Measurements depend on the form:

  • rectangular and oval versions are 60x100, 80x150, 90x150, 120x180, 150x200, 170x240, 200x300, 250x300, 250x350, 300x400, 350x400, 400x500, 400x600, 500x600 cm;
  • round and oval models adhere to the parameters 60x60, 80x80, 100x100, 150x150, 200x200, 250x250, 300x300, 350x350, 400x400 cm.

The paths to the bedroom do not creep: these canvases are intended solely for corridors, stairs, so they look inappropriate in the interior of a special room.

Colors

Color options for carpets in the bedroom are varied. The main thing that experienced designers are trying to do is to exclude flashy and acid tones from the palette, which will deprive the interior of a special room of comfort and a relaxing atmosphere.

The priority is gentle shades of pastel group (pink, sky, mint, turquoise, purple, light green) and the classic beige and brown gamma.

Attention buyers offer models in neutral colors, however, this is not the best choice: white is impractical, and black looks gloomy and depressing.Gray shade is good if it has a bluish or gray undertone. So it looks stylish, beautiful and does not destroy the overall picture of the design.

Those who are not accustomed to abandon bright colors, should look at the floor coverings in a shade of fuchsia, purple, wine, green, orange, aqua.

Color is a difficult moment: it helps to create the necessary illusion of a room (to accent luxury, add light, increase space, bring the right temperature and mood into the room). Options in light colors have a relaxing effect, models in juicy adjust to the working mode, products in cold colors give freshness, but can cause depression.

Regardless of whether the carpet is in tint or contrast, the shade should be pleasant and appropriate.

Purpose

Unlike wall counterparts, carpet to the floor is a functional thing. The bedroom is a place with a small cross, in which for the most part go barefoot. Carpet in the bedroom should be soft, pleasant to the touch, protecting the surface of the floor from drafts, and feet - from the cold.

In addition to the aesthetic load, he:

  • protects the floor from abrasion;
  • provides good sound insulation;
  • warms the flooring;
  • allows you to sit on the floor without harm to health.

How to choose?

Among the huge range of carpets for the bedroom is easy to get confused and take what is not necessary.

In fact, it is not necessary to know thoroughly all the details of the products: it is enough to identify the strengths and weaknesses, and also take into account a number of mandatory factors:

  • the availability of documentation indicates the seriousness of the company, compliance with quality standards and compliance with safety standards;
  • the basis is the key factor: if it is knitted, optimally dense, then everything is in order. The glue base will begin to crumble over time, which will affect the amount of pile and the density of the canvas (you need to choose between needle-punched or knit);
  • a good smell of rubber glue does not emanate from a good carpet: such a product is not worth considering as a purchase (a strong smell indicates harmful toxic components of dyes and glue);
  • it is preferable to choose a model from blended fibers: such cloths last longer, retain the attractiveness of the appearance better and are more or less resistant to sunlight if the room is flooded with sun;
  • if the pile is friable, soft and long, such a product will not last for a long time and is not designed for placement under a bed or other furniture;
  • The weight of a good carpet is heavy, which is related to the density of the base and the number of woven fibers, as well as their length (such a product will not slide on the floor, wrinkle into a heap and form folds).
  • A good carpet is not cheap, but you do not need to buy an unnecessarily expensive model: often the buyer pays for advertising, although the product is not so high-quality and worthy of purchase.

Before purchasing the model you like, you need to scroll through the manufacturer's information, learn about the composition, reviews of actual customers, find out the approximate cost. It is advisable to view the data on several sources: so they will be more reliable.

The purchase must be carried out personally in order to be able to test for elasticity (a good carpet is notable for its elasticity and the ability of the pile to quickly restore its original position when bent).

Accommodation in the interior

There are several options for the location of the carpet in the bedroom. It depends on the design features, the shape of the room and your own preferences.

Depending on the size of the canvas, you can lay a carpet:

  • at the foot of the bed;
  • under the bed with a margin of each side;
  • asymmetrically with a large overhang on the side of the bed;
  • over the entire area of ​​the room, leaving small gaps between the edges of the canvas and the walls;
  • on the two sides of the bed (symmetrical mats);
  • near the headboard (in front of it);
  • on three sides of the bed (three small rugs);
  • closing the floor between the bed and the closet (dressing table).

You can lay the carpet under the furniture (depending on the type of placement). If the cloth pile is large, you need to properly expand it (all legs must be on the surface, otherwise there will be distortions).

If the carpet is large and is located along the entire bed, its legs are on the surface of the canvas, it is better to put a model with a total area of ​​120 cm larger than the bed on the floor, and the projection behind the back should be at least one third.

The option across the bed with an offset to the center of the room is suitable for an interior with a bedroom suite with a bedside bench. It is especially good if the legs of the bed are as close as possible to the center of the room.
