Not just in sense of interior design. But also floor maintenance!
Learning about Carpets
Typically, carpets are added to rooms where there’s likely to be more noise or foot traffic, the reason being that carpets mute noise. Carpets also absorb odors and dirt. Although if you want to clean them, all you’ll need is a vacuum cleaner.
You could also ask a professional carpet cleaning service how often your carpets should be steam cleaned (rule of thumb is once a year although that may vary for heavy traffic areas).
The Design Dos
- Do use styles and colors that would open the space up (neutral colors and simpler patterns)
- Do combine carpets with some area rugs for added cushion to mute noise
- Do add carpets to areas where warmth and comfort are a priority (living room, bedroom)
The Design Don’ts
- Don’t use bright or stark colors otherwise any stain will become prominent
- Don’t install carpets in any rooms that may get dirty easily i.e. dining room
Learning about Hardwood Floors
Easy-to-clean, beautiful and durable, hardwood floors add authenticity and that classic touch to your home’s interior design.
However, they do lack warmth and aren’t as useful in absorbing noise, so it might be best to have hardwood floors installed in rooms where there’s not much foot traffic. Also, even with their maintenance requirement, hardwood floors don’t stay shiny for long so you might need to hire a service to have them refinished.
