Choosing the color of the carpet in your home decoration
The carpet plays a key role in your decoration. In fact, we can say that the carpet is the center of the decoration and the rest of the components should be placed around it. The carpet gives the house soul and warmth. You just need to consider your home without a carpet to realize how cold and lifeless the space is. It doesn’t matter what style of decoration you like, because no decoration is complete without a carpet. Even styles like minimalist decoration need carpets. What’s more interesting is that these styles can also be completed with Iranian carpets.
Now the main question is what color carpet is suitable for our home decor? In answering this question, a few points need to be considered. First, you should know that while choosing the color of the carpet and its design, you should follow the rules of arrangement and decoration. Each decoration has its own characteristics, but in general, there are general rules for decoration and arrangement. One of the most important of them is to avoid cluttering the space.
Avoid cluttering the space!
One of the common decoration mistakes is using busy carpets, furniture with patterned and loose fabrics, as well as curtains with patterns and patterns. Using these three together will definitely make your space look ugly. If your space is empty and you haven't bought anything yet, you have more freedom in choosing a carpet. In this case, you only need to base your personal taste and the color of the flooring. Young couples are in this group, who usually start their shopping with a dowry carpet.
Otherwise, before choosing a carpet, consider the design of the furniture and curtains, so that everything is not busy and full of patterns. For example, if your furniture is floral, be sure to use very simple and minimal carpets.
Maintain balance in colors!
In fact, your entire space should not be filled with cold colors or only warm colors. You should place a combination of the two next to neutral colors. Paying attention to the color and design of the flooring helps balance the colors of the space. The color of the flooring can make your space look gloomy or cheerful. However, you can balance your space by choosing the right and principled color of the carpet. For example, if you have very dark floors, you can use carpets with light colors and simpler designs. Conversely, for light floors, you can use busier and happier carpets. In fact, before buying a carpet, you should have an idea of the overall decoration and what you want. The beauty of the carpet alone is not enough, and there must be harmony between all the components.
Don't overdo the color combination!
One of the main rules of arrangement in decoration is not to use too many colors. Only in one or two styles of decoration are you allowed to choose a large number of colors with high intensity. In decorations such as retro decoration, there is a lot of color variety and colors are often used with great intensity. But in most decorations, the overall theme of the space follows two or at most three specific colors. Therefore, you should be careful when choosing colors. It is better to choose a maximum of three colors. But be careful not to go only towards one group of colors in this choice.
Carpets are the main key to decoration!
Choosing the color of the carpet can be a guide to your decoration. Carpets have countless variations in terms of color and design. For this reason, you can make the main color of the carpet, which is the background color of the carpet, the main color of your decoration. Then use the colors of the flowers and other patterns of the carpet for other components of the house, such as sofas and curtains. The important point is that all the components of the house should not be the same color, except in monochrome decoration, which has its own characteristics. Similarly, carpets, furniture, and curtains should not be chosen to be patterned and busy. Having one of the three patterns is enough. The rest of the decoration components should be simple or have quiet designs.
Important points in choosing a neutral color for the carpet
One of the best choices for carpets is to use neutral colors. Neutral colors have high flexibility in space and coordinate with any color and design. In addition, these colors have higher maneuverability and allow you to maneuver more on other components. Carpets with a cream, gray, black, gray, and white background are included in this group. These carpet colors can be combined with any color group. There are also no restrictions on using these colors for different parts of the house.
In many modern decorations, modern carpets with this neutral color are used. A modern, monochrome carpet that defines the main theme of the space. Although classic carpets have a little more pattern, there are also many neutral colors among these carpets. If you choose neutral colors for your home decor, it is better to look for colors from the cold and warm groups for other items. Using too much neutral colors may seem boring in the long run. So don't choose everything gray, white, etc. and be sure to use one or two colored elements in the space.
One of the attractive ways to decorate a house in neutral colors is to use carpets with strong colors. In this type of carpet arrangement, the carpet is added to the decoration as a soulful element with a contrasting and strong color.
Neutral color carpets have many fans. Especially with the modernization of home decor, the choice of carpet colors has shifted more towards cream and gray. Carpets with this color require more care in cleaning, and if you have a small child, you can also use a rug.
Important points in choosing a warm color for a carpet
Using a warm tone in choosing a carpet color is a smart choice. Warm colors can increase the sense of warmth of the space. Since the carpet plays an important role in decoration, warm colors can enhance its appearance. Most classic Iranian carpets were woven in warm colors in the past. The lacquer carpet was one of the most famous, which was used by most families for a long time. Gradually, carpets with neutral colors replaced the lacquer carpet.
Currently, warm carpets, even lacquer carpets, have re-entered home decoration. The difference is that when these carpets are used, other components have softer colors. Using a carpet with a strong and warm color along with furniture and curtains of the same color will make your space tense and noisy. Even the wrong use of these colors can create a feeling of chaos. While these rugs can be beautifully used alongside simpler furniture and curtains, warm colors can enhance the sense of freshness, energy, and dynamism of a space, but they need to be used in moderation and correctly in the space.
Important points in choosing a cool color for a carpet
Cold colors are also one of the suitable options for choosing a carpet. Blue carpet and navy carpet fall into this category. These two colors are among the most popular carpet colors. Cool colors give a more relaxing feel to the space and keep the energy of the space low. Using these colors is very suitable for busy and noisy spaces and can moderate the energy of the space.
Cold colors should not be used excessively in decoration, because they make the space look gloomy and sad unless they are combined with a range of warm colors such as gold, brown, etc. Choosing a carpet color from this group mostly includes carpets in blue, navy, and green. It is better to coordinate these carpets with neutral decorations such as cream or light gray. You can also choose some accessories in lemon, gold, mustard, and orange so that the space does not lose its vitality and warmth.
Dark and light colors in choosing a carpet
One of the important issues in choosing a carpet color is to pay attention to the degree of darkness and lightness of its color. This point plays an important role in the space of the house. By choosing dark carpets, the space appears smaller than its actual dimensions. Choosing dark carpets on dark flooring is a bigger mistake. However, if you want to choose a dark carpet, you must pay attention to the color of the flooring and other components. For example, you can use light colors in furniture, walls, and curtains.
On the contrary, dark colors make your space larger and more spacious. If you have dark flooring, the best choice is to use light-colored carpets. For light flooring, you can also use these carpets or carpets with a light color theme.
It is better not to use too much or too little color intensity in the decoration. Too soft colors create a dull atmosphere, and too much color intensity makes your space crowded. The best thing to do is to maintain a balance between colors.
