Floor Art – Goodrich Carpet

Artistic expression knows no bounds when it comes to carpets and rugs.  Carpet design adds visual appeal and a sense of depth and perception to a room . The power carpets and rugs have is their ability to pull together everything in a room, to make everything seem harmonious. That is why it is important to know how to choose a rug.

When choosing carpets/rugs for various parts in the house, it is important to consider how the carpet/rug functions at the particular area and make your selection based on that. It is best to choose a good quality carpet that is easy to maintain and durable for the dining room. Choose colours, so that stains will not be visible. As for bedrooms, select colours that are soft and calming.

To choose the right rug/carpet, look at the quality, material specification, colour, texture, pile construction, thickness and weight. 

Rug quality is normally identified by the material content and the type of construction and thickness. This will give you a gauge of the quality of the rug.

With breakthrough in yarn spinning and dying technologies, more vibrant, colourful and  intricate designs can be made with yarns such as viscose, jute and polyesters.

Care and maintenance of rugs and carpets are important if you want to keep them looking new for a long time to come. Rugs need to be placed in airy and dry places. They should be laid flat. Rolling them up and putting them in a closet where it is humid and damp can damage the rug. The besy way to maintain is to vacuum them daily and shampoo them once every six months.
