Asesoramiento
En The Carpet Company creemos que todos los espacios se benefician con una alfombra. La alfombra te ayuda a terminar de lucir y hacer de una habitación un lugar de bienvenida. Lo transforma. El color, tramado y textura le dan personalidad.
No hay que temer al color o a una trama más especial, hay que elegir la alfombra como se elige una obra de arte. Más que nada, uno tiene que amarla – a diferencia de almohadones, cortinas o un sofá, la alfombra es algo que te acompañará por siempre y tienes que estar contento de tenerla en cualquier cuarto o casa que vivas.
Antes de elegir la alfombra, hay que definir el propósito – ¿es para llamar la atención en el cuarto? O ¿algo mas neutral que acompañe el diseño del espacio? ¿Quieres que defina el cuarto o que lo unifique? Si quieres subdividir un cuarto en diferentes espacios, pequeñas alfombras pueden ayudarte a hacerlo sin dificultad.
Living Room A
As a general rule a seating area needs a rug to make it feel complete. In a large open-plan space rugs can be used to define different areas and create rooms within rooms. Avoid choosing a rug that is too small as this can look lost. It is much better to specify a generous size that flows under and unifies the furniture (Living room A). In this case, leave sufficient extra space around all the furniture so it does not appear ‘perched’ on the edge of the rug.
Living Room B
Alternatively, placing the rug about half way under sofas and chairs can look just right (Living room B).
Living Room C
Some styles of furniture work best when left off the rug (Living room C), and smaller pieces of furniture such as side-tables are generally best either on or off the rug and not half-half. In this case, the rug should be slightly longer and wider than the furniture, and not too far from the seating.
Dining Room
For a dining room, a large rug under the table will deaden the sound in the room and bring colour, pattern and texture. Ideally, the rug should be in proportion to the table, and larger than it so that there is sufficient space to pull out a chair and sit down without the back legs coming off the rug. The minimum that allows for this is 75cm (29”), so that the ideal size is generally at least 1.50m (59”) larger than the table in each direction.
Bedroom A
For a bedroom, the rug is best placed underneath the bed, framing it but stopping short of the side tables (Bedroom A).
Bedroom B
Alternativly running all the way to the end of the wall at the headboard end (Bedroom B). This allows for rug underfoot when one gets out of bed.
