How to Choose a Stylish Carpet: Latest Trends of 2021

Carpets in modern interiors have long since stopped serving their direct purpose — to cover the floor. They have become an inseparable part of interior decor, helping to give any room an atmosphere of warmth, comfort and coziness. In addition, carpets are actively used as a tool for zoning the house, underlining the color palette and defining various functional zones.

Thus, carpets now play one of the key roles in apartment design. Armed with advice from professional decorators, you will find the perfect carpet that seamlessly fits into your interior.

Color

Pattern

It is also important whether or not the carpet has a geometric pattern. If it does, you should support this design decision with a similar print adorning large objects: curtains, furniture. The carpet pattern should harmonize with the overall style of the space. For example, in a colorful living room, a solid-color carpet is better.
