Choosing and Buying a Carpet: The Color
58
Instinctively, we would
be inclined to buy a rug just for the immediacy of sensation that we
shall at first sight. A purchase based on
these impulses, however, may not be completely appropriate, if the
carpet - although beautiful in itself - does not fit the location we
want to give it or if it is not good quality or if it has
a style contrasts with that furniture of our house or our office.
Above all, we must decide
where to buy the carpet, choosing from the different styles. For example, experts of
Persian rugs, Caucasus, India, but also shops selling carpets and modern
trend, bringing great care to design and the scenic impact that may
arise. Once the store is chosen,
it must reflect on the destination of the carpet.
Buy a carpet means being
aware of the atmosphere where people want to put it: the spaces, colors
of walls and furniture, style furniture, the light in the room and many
other items that may help us to prefer one
product over another.
Let us consider, for
example, color. We must not allow
ourselves to attract only the colors that we love in the absolute, thus
disregarding the context of our carpet, but we must see inside the room,
imagining the ground.
Only thus can we
understand exactly where his tone can best adapt to their surroundings. Environment faint, give
effect to a darkening dark colored carpet. The latter, although it
is marvelous in its substance, may result in penalizing the room, while
the same dark carpet, exposed interior of a large bright room, will
become the focal point, and draw the eye in giving the whole a very
decided tone and stylish.
A red carpet on a clay
soil which turns red will tend to get lost and disappear, while a carpet
of light will illuminate the force, making the color of terra cotta
brighter to the eye and making a positive
contrast. Some people match the
carpet to furniture, searching among the colors something that recalls
the cabinet or the table or library, for the sake of detail and
research, but this is not enough to choose well.
Indeed, we must always
have a vision about the kind of atmosphere we want to create: one piece
in shades of pastels and soft drinks, or opt for a riskier choice of
pitting squarely strong colors and violent.
Each individual should
decide, though recall that every desired atmosphere depends on several
criteria. Buy your carpet means
acquiring some design for living with passion.
