Introduction
We will never have enough of the accessories, furniture’s or decorative items in our house, we will always want a brand new one if its better when we see it in a store or online. Sometimes the cost prevents us from doing so but if the item is cheap, then we will definitely go for it. Furniture’s are not that easy to replace though, whereas items like some small light fixtures, decorative items like paintings and carpets on the floor can be very easily replaced. Carpets are very practical and also can be a home décor item that doesn’t cost much and also can be changed whenever you want it to.
Using them
If you are not quite satisfied with the floor you walk on in your house, or if you think it is too hard or uncomfortable to walk on, you always have the option to place carpets on it rather than changing the entire flooring. Carpets will also add a rich look to the room while providing a comfy place to walk on. Especially quality carpets are extremely cozy and comfy, but not anywhere near the cost of actual flooring. They can be used as a cold insulating surface to walk on in the winter months. If you have a cat, carpets would make a wonderful place for them to snuggle in. Most of the carpets available in the market now is eco-friendly as they are made from synthetic fibers like polypropylene, triexta, polyester or nylon. There are different types of carpets that are available and then there are different patterns, designs and colors to choose from. Carpets can be placed near the sofa (example – under the coffee table) or near the bed (the part where you will wake up to and put your feet first). If you are a person who is interested in designs or patterns, there are many carpets available with unique interesting patterns that will either be soothing and relaxing or confusing to look at. Quality carpets can last a good long 10 years and its use can be prolonged with proper care and maintenance.
Disadvantages
Carpets have disadvantages as well, if you don’t vacuum the carpet at least once in a week. The dust in the carpets can cause breathing difficulties and can be harmful to people with allergies. Also the carpet must always be kept dry and getting wet must be avoided as it can cause molds which can be dangerous to the respiratory system.
