Runner Rug Benefits
Runner Rug Benefits
These days, we no longer think of faded, trodden floor carpets when we think of home decor. That's no coincidence, there are now a number of practical, aesthetic and, not least, versatile alternatives. Allow me to introduce you to one of them, which is the runner carpet.
In addition to their aesthetic benefits, carpets have many other useful properties.
Carpets reduce dust, are easy to clean
Whether you live in a bustling city centre apartment or a country house, dust is a problem everywhere. Carpets reduce airborne dust, helping to keep you healthy. Cleaning is easy. Thanks to its easy-to-move design, you can get rid of dirt effectively, either by vacuuming or by putting it outdoors. Cleaning can be carried out at home with lukewarm water and without chemicals for minor stains, or in a professional upholstery cleaner for more serious stains, thanks to the size of the runner rug.
The versatility of colours and shapes in carpets
Warm shades are perceived as closer, while cool shades are perceived as further away. This knowledge is used in a wide range of applications, so it is not surprising that it is also a popular choice for home decoration. In a narrow hallway or corridor, a light and long patterned runner carpet will optically enlarge the space. For example, Indian kilim cotton or jaldar wool rugs.
Certain colour types and patterns can be associated with certain feelings and impressions that can influence the mood of a room. A textile in a darker shade, placed in the bedroom next to the bed, creates a cosy and intimate atmosphere, helping to promote relaxation.
A striking, brightly coloured runner rug can become the focal point of your living room for socialising, or a subtle, clean pattern can be the perfect complement.
Comfort considerations
Whatever part of the home you choose, it's certainly more comfortable to walk on a Persian rug than a hard, cold pile. Whether you prefer a machine-woven or hand-knotted carpet, you can be sure that it will not only enhance the aesthetics of your home, but will be enjoyed by all members of the family.
Safety of the carpet
Carpets placed in the home will provide greater safety, with a lower risk of slipping. A child learning to walk, an adult slipping in a rush, or an elderly family member who is more unsteady on their feet... everyone will benefit.
