  • If you have an apartment for rent or more, it is clear that furnishing the interior is one of the most important items. Well-matched colors, style and quality furniture and elements, allow your guests to be satisfied with the accommodation and to come back again, as well as to recommend you to friends. However, even when furnishing the interior, there are a number of mistakes you can make, if you are a beginner, one of them is the installation of inadequate carpets. One of the biggest mistakes can be buying too delicate and expensive carpets or carpets that are difficult to maintain. Mistakes can also be made with inadequate carpet dimensions, so the carpet can be too small, but also too big for the room for which you intended it.

    Just because two rugs look the same doesn’t necessarily mean they will behave the same. So how do you compare different rugs? Make sure they are made of the same fiber, the same style and the same quality. Also, carefully compare the manufacturer's guarantees on carpets. If one carpet has a 10-year warranty and the other a 20-year warranty, it is obviously not the same quality carpet. Sometimes quality carpets can be bought at outlets that are not official salons. That's why you will get the most accurate offer if you type phrases such as "carpets for sale" in the search engine, where all the ads and carpet stores will appear in one place with their offers.

    Carpet patterns exist to determine weight, texture, and color

    This is probably the first thing you should pay attention to when buying a rug. Do not assume that a carpet with a higher density of weaving is better than a carpet with a lower density. It is easy to make a mistake because we can easily understand the concept of assigning a numerical value to something to denote quality - in other words, we get the idea that higher number (density) means quality. However, when it comes to carpets, there are too many other factors that are important when choosing a rug. Unfortunately, many sellers are either too uninformed or too indifferent to explain this to customers properly.

    This is one of the worst mistakes you can make when buying a new rug. And the extra financial expense of buying a rug, when you make a mistake for many, is unacceptable. You would probably rather save money and spend it on things you can use, e.g. you can buy a new lamp. However, most of the costs are related to things that are not visible, and they also have an important function in your interior, such as quality waterproofing or carpentry that saves you electricity.

    To find out which stores have the largest selection of carpets and to find out a lot of useful information about choosing carpets, you can compile a list of showrooms that seem interesting to you by typing "Belgrade carpets" on Google search engine.

    Floor coverings are just as important as carpet

    Your carpet is as good as your floor covering. If you have a small budget, we warmly recommend spending a little less on carpet and a little more on floor coverings. Even a lower quality carpet will look better on quality floor coverings.

    Improperly calculated carpet size is one of the biggest mistakes

    Before you go on a tour of carpet stores in order to better equip your apartment at the lowest possible price, it is very important to measure the dimensions of the carpet you need. This means that you have to anticipate what furniture will stand in the room, as well as other elements, so that it does not happen that the carpet is too small, that it can not cover the required space, because then it has no function, and not too big, so that you can't slip it under the furniture, or so that it doesn't get crumpled, which looks ugly and can be dangerous.

    Match the design of the carpet with the rest of the furniture in the interior

    For a rustic interior intended for adult guests, a children's rug is certainly not the best solution. Also, if you have a children's room in the apartment, it is advisable to choose a children's rug in colors that predominate in the room or are in contrast. If you are not sure about your choice, consult someone, so as not to make a mistake.
