When you plan to buy a rug to compliment the décor in your home and help keep the floor warm, there are some things you need to consider. In the end, you are going to spend a fair amount of money, and you want to be sure that you will get a quality product. You should also know that there are people who sell handmade fake Persian, Turkish and Oriental carpets and pass them on like a real thing. Here are a few things you should know before you go out and buy a rug:
- Where was it done A: Make sure the rug is made in Turkey, Iran or Central Asia. If this is not the case, then it is simply not authentic. This is one time when you do not want to do in the USA.
- Is it handmade A: You must be sure that what you are buying is really handmade, especially if you pay handmade prices. There are people who will try to sell you a machine mat and say that it is handmade. You can tell the difference by looking at the back of the rug. If you can clearly see the design, then it is made by hand, but if the design is to blame or not visible, then it is made on a typewriter.
- Qualitative A: Now that you’ve determined that you’re looking at a handmade rug (if it’sn’t, you’d leave), you need to know if the carpet is good. You can tell the quality of the carpet by feeling it and looking at it. If the carpet feels very dry and dull in color, the carpet is probably made from dead wool, which is wool that was taken from a dead sheep, not a live sheep. You need a living wool rug. You also need to measure the number of knots that the carpet has. You can do this by measuring the nodes per square inch. This means that you need a ruler, and you literally consider how many nodes are on one inch, and then the square of this number. The higher the number, the higher the quality.
- Take a photo of your room A: When you go to a carpet store to buy a rug, and you are sure that the carpets are authentic and of good quality, you can easily shift under the choice of rugs. Having a picture of your room with you, you can help focus on the task - buy a rug that works in your room. Thus, you are less likely to have the wrong carpet. If you buy carpets online, you do not need to photograph your room.
- Determine the size A: Before choosing a mat for purchase, make sure you want a size. You can stick the fabric on the floor and get an idea of what size you want before buying a rug.
- Tree mat : If your carpet is on a wooden floor, be sure to leave an eight-inch space around the carpet.
- stuffing : When you get the lining under the carpet, you prolong the life of your carpet.
- Dark or Light : Getting a dark or light carpet depends on what effect you want in the room. If you want the room to look more spacious, choose a color mat. If you want to feel more comfortable, choose a darker carpet.
- More than one carpet : When you buy more than one rug for a room, make one rug more than others. It is dominant, and other carpets may be similar in design and color.
- Rugs and curtains : When you choose your carpet, think about your curtains and make sure they are not collided.
These tips will help you choose a Turkish rug or a running mat that will complement your room or hallway and give you lasting beauty and warmth for years to come. Then all you have to do is bring your carpet home and enjoy it.
