Choosing a bedroom rug and the most important things you need to know
The bedroom is a space used for rest and rejuvenation and helps people to be ready for the next day's work, so we should not ignore its beauty and, like any other space in the house, we need to take the necessary time and care to choose the flooring.
There are many choices for bedroom flooring, and the choice of the desired flooring for people is determined and selected depending on personal preferences, budget and comfort level. Note that each type of flooring has its own advantages and disadvantages. If you are planning to buy flooring for your bedroom, then stay with us until the end of this article from Dariush Magazine.
The best flooring for the bedroom
One of the most important questions that buyers ask themselves when completing their home and decorating is what materials the best flooring for the bedroom should be made of. The answer to this question can vary depending on your preference for comfort, budget and maintenance, and these choices can also change according to fashion and trends.
But in recent years, choices such as carpet, wood, vinyl, and laminate have been popular among buyers. Note that each of these flooring types has its own advantages and disadvantages, and people need to make the best choice according to their needs and circumstances.
For example, a flooring type such as carpet can bring you softness and warmth, while wood flooring gives your space a classic look and offers more durability than other flooring types. However, vinyl is waterproof and easier to clean than other flooring types, but laminate offers a cost-effective option with different designs.
Carpet in the bedroom
Most of the time, carpet is usually used on the floor and in areas such as under the bed or in areas that have the most traffic. For example, side rugs can be used next to the bed or in the living room.
But the most common area where people like to use carpet is under the bed because people often like to have a soft landing point for their feet when getting out of bed. If a carpet is used under the bed, it will make the bed stay firmly in place. But if it is used around the edge, it will add warmth and intimacy to the bedroom space.
Advantages of carpet
*The following are the advantages of carpet.
- It is more affordable than other flooring
- Soft underfoot
- Good insulation against cold and heat
- Absorbs sound well.
Possible disadvantages of carpet
- Difficult to keep clean.
- Very prone to stains and discoloration.
- Can hold dust and other allergens.
- Needs replacement more often than other flooring.
Carpet can bring comfort and warmth to your bedroom, but it is also prone to stains and liquids, which is why it is more difficult to maintain carpet than other flooring. If you choose a carpet with a high density such as 1200 reed, it will absorb less stains and dirt than a 700 reed carpet. However, it is still recommended to clean it immediately if a stain occurs.
Laminate in the bedroom
Laminate flooring is designed based on the daily needs of people, these floors have a protective layer that protects against stains, scratches and even fading. This flooring ensures that if your bedroom is heavily used, it can maintain its appearance for years.
However, note that laminate is more expensive than carpet and tries to create a look similar to real hardwood in the bedroom. However, if you are interested in warmth and softness in the bedroom, choosing this flooring is not recommended for you. It is also not recommended to use it in children's rooms because if your beloved child hits the floor, he or she may be injured.
The right carpet design for the bedroom
The most important challenge you face when choosing a carpet for the bedroom is choosing the right design and color. Note that in recent years, as houses have become smaller and become apartments, the space in the bedroom has also become limited and absorbs less light, which is why buying a carpet will require more meticulous and careful consideration.
Note that carpets chosen for children's and teenagers' bedrooms are usually chosen from cartoon or fantasy designs, while the design of an adult bedroom carpet is required to have different designs.
If the dimensions of your bedroom are small and benefit from little natural light, it is necessary to choose the carpet you want from a carpet with a light background color, but if the dimensions of your bedroom are large and benefit from good natural light, you can use carpets with dark or even neutral colors to complete the decoration.
What density of carpet should we choose for the bedroom?
The answer to the question of what density of carpet is suitable for the bedroom varies according to the customer's needs. But if we want to have a general answer to this question, it is necessary to choose a carpet with a density of 3000 to 4000 knots. This range of carpet density can provide a good balance between comfort and durability for low-traffic areas such as bedrooms.
Note that carpet density is a key factor in the durability and quality of a carpet, and the higher the density, the higher its durability. Bedrooms have higher traffic than hallways or living rooms, which is why it is necessary to choose carpets with a higher density for them.
When choosing and buying carpets, if the durability and softness factor is important to you, it is recommended to be highly sensitive to the carpet fibers because the type of fibers used when weaving the carpet can affect the softness of the flooring.
It is recommended to choose children's bedroom carpets from carpets that have a fantasy design and lower density, because these products may have lower density, but on the other hand, their thickness and pile are greater and they create a softer feeling underfoot, which is why they are a better choice for children's bedrooms.
What yarn should a bedroom carpet have?
There are many types of fibers used to weave bedroom carpets. For example, these carpets can be made of polyester, viscose, and acrylic. Each of these carpets has its own characteristics and can provide a certain level of softness, durability, and resistance depending on the fibers used, and they also react differently to stains.
It is recommended to choose a bedroom carpet from carpets made with acrylic fibers because these fibers are among the best synthetic fibers and have the lowest amount of lint. This feature is also true for low-density acrylic carpets. Note that all machine-made carpets have lint, even to a small extent, so it is better to choose a carpet that has less lint than other products.
What color of carpet is suitable for a bedroom?
Decoration designers recommend using soft colors such as beige, cream, or gray for bedroom flooring. These colors can increase the sense of calm in the bedroom, which is why they are the best choice. But the main reason they are recommended is their high compatibility with other decoration components and items. If you like a warmer feel for this environment, it is recommended to use warm colors such as brown or soft green for the color of your carpet.
Bedroom carpet is more susceptible to damage
Remember that bedroom carpets are more susceptible to damage than other carpets used in the home, because most people place the carpet under the bed, which can damage the carpet more because the bed and furniture legs are on the carpet and the possibility of using a vacuum cleaner to remove dirt will also be less than other carpets.
How to spread the bedroom carpet?
Another challenge you face when choosing a bedroom carpet is how to spread the carpet, the dominant space in the bedroom is related to the bed and the bed service, so the placement of the carpet should be chosen relative to the position of the bed in the bedroom.
Carpet under the bed
According to designers, spreading the carpet under the bed is suitable for large rooms. When the carpet is spread completely under the bed, it transfers more heat to the room. For this reason, it is better to choose the carpet you need from lacquer, rose or walnut colors when buying.
Carpet next to the bed
If your bedroom space is small, it is better to use a carpet or side to complete the decoration. Choosing a carpet for a small bedroom should be such that the person can put their feet on the carpet when getting up from the bed.
Carpet under the bed
If your bedroom is large enough to use a six-meter carpet to complete its decoration and the bedroom space is not completed, it is better to place two-thirds of your carpet under the bed and the remaining part outside the bed. Usually, the carpet is spread out under the bed, and it should never fill the entire room, and a 20 cm gap must be left empty to show the beauty of the carpet.
Children's bedroom
Because it is directly related to the health of your beloved child, the carpet in the child's bedroom must have factors such as durability, stain resistance, safety, and stain resistance. Materials such as polyester are used to produce these carpets because these fibers have good resistance to stains, and children's bedrooms are prone to stains from shoe mud, mildew, and sauce.
The pile of the carpet in the children's bedroom should neither be too thick like shaggy carpets to cause children to fall, nor should it have too little pile to cause them to get hurt when they fall. If a thin carpet is chosen for the children's bedroom, it is necessary to use an anti-slip pad for them.
Choosing a carpet for a boy's bedroom
Because boys are busy and a little messy, it is better to use simple and not too busy carpets. A carpet with busy designs will make the room look messy and small, which will reduce your child's tolerance for staying in the room.
Choosing a carpet for a girl's bedroom
Unlike boys, girls' bedrooms need to choose carpets in turquoise blue or with modern designs due to their calmer and more organized personality. Choosing a modern carpet for a girl's bedroom has recently attracted the attention of families. Many people are interested in decorating their girls' rooms in pink.
Price of a bedroom carpet
One of the basic factors when choosing and buying a carpet for the bedroom is the price of the carpet. Depending on its quality, its final price also varies. The type of fiber, as well as the comb and density of the carpet, are very effective in the final price. For example, 1200 reed all-acrylic carpets are less expensive than 1200reed silk carpets because they are woven from higher-quality fibers.
