Carpet ideas for your living room

Carpet Fibre:

The living room sees a lot of foot traffic and other movements. You would want to pick a durable and easy to clean yarn. Stain and fade resistance are added benefits, especially for families with kids and pets.

Nylon is the most popular choice due to its strength and durability. Since it is a synthetic fibre, it is resistant to staining, crushing, mildew and fading. Triexta, polyester and olefin are other synthetic fibre options.

Wool, silk, bamboo, jute, cotton are natural fibres used in carpets. Apart from being environmentally friendly, each material has its own strength.

1. Modern Carpets for Living Room:

The modern design style is known for its clean and clutter-free look. With its penchant for neutral hues, beige carpet for living rooms became pretty commonplace. In recent years, alternatives like taupes and greys have been rising in demand. Earthy tones of browns and ochres, too, have been incorporated.

In a modern living room with a monotone colour scheme, black and white patterned carpets are a subtle way to introduce interest in the room. With modern design style’s less is more approach, carpets with patterned weaves such as herringbone, ribbed, etc., fit in really well.

A monochrome or a self-patterned rug works best with this style. Some examples are off-shoots of the mid-century modern Beauvais, Siboney, Bretton, etc., styles.

2. Luxury Living Room Carpet:

There are multiple ways to achieve the glam, luxe aesthetic in the living room. A classic is a monochromatic colour scheme with ornate furnishings. The seating area is generally the focal point in this case. So a soft, plush carpet such as an eight frame weave or multi-level loop pile suits the glam aesthetic.

Another classic glam look is accents of crystal or metal against an otherwise all-white interior. The focal point is the glimmer and shines that these materials produce. A lustrous carpet such as velvet or Saxony would be the perfect fit.

4. Stylish Carpet for Living Room:

You can achieve a sleek and stylish look with carpet patterns like chevron, stripes, quatrefoil and carpet tiles. Geometric designs on rugs offer the same elegance as any other rugs without taking the attention away from the rest of the room.

Striped wall to wall carpets look sophisticated and can make any room appear longer or wider. For a touch of vintage style you can opt for latest carpets for living room that are rich in design but in faded or muted colours.
