Finding the right carpet for your home can be such a daunting task. As the carpet that you will select must be the appropriate piece in terms of design and size, as well as it should stand the test of time. By following Patina Interiors steps and guidelines, you can design and execute your carpet according to your needs and taste. Your main consideration in carpet designing is to search for the best materials, to decide where the carpet will be laid, to make sure it’s matching the interior’s theme, and most importantly to select the carpet’s color palette and design.

Where to install your carpet

First thing to consider before designing your carpet is where the carpet would be installed and displayed. As the flooring below it must be solid and stable. Therefore, it would be ideal to place the carpet on top of ceramic flooring or cement flooring in order for the carpet to stay in good shape for a few solid years. 

You could either install these type of carpets either in a bedroom suite or in the stair case area for a cozy and a classic look. The selected spaces would be identified during the execution phase so flooring area of the carpet would be lower by 2 cm compared to the whole house’s flooring. In order to add an a carpet underlay which is a thin layer of cushioning made of materials such as sponge rubber, and foam which will provide comfort underfoot, reduce wear and protect the carpet from moisture in future. This underlay would also give a luxurious comfy feel to the interior.

How to draw your carpet’s style

Before you choose your carpet design you should make a full study of your space and consider many factors in the design such as furniture, decoration, accessories, curtains, moldings, wall paintings, wallpapers, food finishes, chandeliers and all existing materials in your space that will match your carpet.

The carpet must be drawn in a clear and detailed way with full specifications, layouts, and exact dimensions considering the interior’s measurements and the carpet’s desired size.

How to choose your carpet materials

The market is full with options of carpet materials, but the best ones that will allow you to have a strong, durable, long lasting carpet with a natural look and comfy feel are only few materials such as wool and silk.

For instance, wool fiber is durable and stretchable; it is soft and absorbs water. The fiber doesn’t wrinkle easily and springs back to shape. As well as its price is lower and cheaper compared to silk and it is easy to clean. But one of its disadvantage is its absorbance to all odors, scents and dirt. On the other hand, we have silk, which is a natural organic material, characterized by its softness, elegance, luster and shimmery appearance. But due to its soft texture, silk is very difficult to clean which requires a lot of care and maintenance, moreover its price compared to the other materials is higher.

It is recommended to mix between silk and wool for a durable and a luxurious carpet. Use wool for the base and silk for the design, due to the different heights, thickness and luster between wool thread and sleek silk, the final outcome would be astonishing.

When choosing color shades of wool and silk, you should always check the colors from the lower part of the thread sample instead of the upper part, in order to see the real natural color that you will get in the final look. As selecting samples depending on the upper parts only, the final look would darker by 30% from what you actual selected.

How to match your carpet in your space

Matching your carpet with your interior is vital for a unified design theme. In order to have a cohesive and a consistent aesthetic, it is advised to collect a sample of the used fabrics, wood finishes, wallpapers, and paintings in your interior during the color selection process, to make sure that the design and colors are matching each other to achieve one unified look.
