3 Tips for Choosing Living Room Carpets

The living room is the "facade" of a home. A suitable living room carpet can instantly enhance the atmosphere, but many people regret their purchase—either the size is awkward or the carpet is not stain-resistant. In fact, choosing a living room carpet is not that complicated. Remember these 3 tips, and even beginners can choose the right one at once.

Don’t Guess the Size—Follow the Furniture

For small living rooms, don’t go for oversized ones. A "half-laid" carpet is the most clever choice. Let the edge of the carpet just cover the front legs of the sofa and expose a circle of floor, which can visually expand the space. For large living rooms, feel free to choose a "full-surround" carpet. Let the carpet exceed the sofa by 20 cm on all sides, enclosing the coffee table and single chair, which has a strong sense of integrity. If you’re not sure, just measure the length of the sofa and the width of the coffee table, and adding 30 cm will give you the golden size.

Choose Material Based on Needs—Durability Is Key

Families with kids and pets can blindly choose nylon living room carpets, which are wear-resistant, durable and stain-resistant. Juice and pet hair can be easily cleaned. If you pursue foot feel, choose wool blend carpets. They are soft to step on and not cold in winter, but remember to vacuum regularly. Never buy low-cost chemical fiber carpets—they will pill and shed hair in less than half a year, which is a waste of money.

Coordinate the Style—Avoid Aesthetic Disasters

For a modern minimalist living room, match it with a solid color or thin striped carpet, which is clean and magnificent. For a Nordic-style living room, choose a carpet with geometric patterns to add a sense of design. For a Chinese-style living room, a carpet with traditional patterns is more suitable, which has a stronger charm. Remember that "large spaces can be complex, small spaces should be simple". Overly exaggerated patterns will make the living room look cluttered.

A good living room carpet is both a practical item and a decorative item. Choosing based on the three dimensions of size, material and style can not only meet the daily needs but also double the beauty of the living room. Such a living room carpet is worth buying.
