Carpets in the hallway

Modern apartments are no longer equipped with things that have been "thrown out" in the store. Even such a concept is unknown to the younger generation. Now the design of the apartment is at the forefront. Just like furniture, light, wallpaper, decorative accents, paths in the corridor and hallway are part of the concept.

Having a carpet in the hallway is not always a desire to stand out. More often it is used for functional purposes.

• As a heater. The cold floor in the hallway is not a pleasant feeling. In this case, the carpet runner does not just decorate the hallway, it warms the legs, making it possible to calmly dress without rushing.

• The path in the corridor does not allow street dust and dirt to get into the apartment beyond the hallway. In this case, it serves as a kind of sanitary barrier.

• The floor covering in the hallway protects from dirt. Therefore, the track should not only delay, but also have the ability to repel, be easily cleaned of dirt - in this case, the rubberized coating has no equal.

It is irrational to use a large carpet on the floor of the corridor. It is much more practical to lay the path at the passages. Moreover, the assortment of carpets allows you to make them a decorative accent in any interior, change the look of a room, and zone part of the space.

Before buying a carpet runner, you need to decide which type is most suitable for the existing interior and the place where it will be spread.

Natural fibers have low wear resistance and need a reliable base. Rubberized base prevents debris from spreading through rooms, moisture and dirt penetration through the floor. Such a product is easy to clean and keeps its shape. At the same time, it serves for a long time, retaining its original appearance, perfectly protects the floor from mechanical stress - dents, chips, scratches.

Synthetic products have long established themselves as excellent companions of our everyday life. They are easy to wash, perfectly absorb moisture, the pile serves as a barrier to dirt, dust, and debris particles. Caring for synthetics is no problem, and after a simple cleaning, they dry quickly. Wear resistance remains beyond praise - such a track can serve for many years. Synthetic carpet runners have good flexibility and retain their attractive appearance for a long time. There is simply no suitable environment for the development of pathogenic bacteria and fungi of various kinds.

As an advantage, one more advantage of synthetic coatings can be noted - high resistance to pollution by chemical compounds.

Of the minuses, one can note the tendency of such products to fade in the sun, but in a place inaccessible to direct sunlight, the track remains in its original form for a long time. Another drawback is that they are not too soft, they have a meager set of color palettes, since synthetics are difficult to stain.

Woolen products stand apart - they are warm, light, beautiful, pleasant in tactile sensation, but rather whimsical to use. During rains, such a coating perfectly absorbs moisture, preventing it from penetrating, like dirt, into living rooms. Woolen products remain neutral to changes in the microclimate in the house, are environmentally friendly, thanks to the natural material they remain in excellent condition for a long time.

Unfortunately, this path doesn't just absorb spilled liquid, it is difficult to clean from stains. It requires careful cleaning, as its fibers tend to stretch, accumulate dust and dirt, and require more careful maintenance.

Carpet runners are not just a protective covering, they also serve as a decorative accent. Their ability to transform the overall look of a space appeals to buyers, as does the comfort they provide. However, in order for them to fully satisfy the needs of the owner, you need to follow a few simple rules when choosing a product, taking into account a number of criteria.

1. Wear resistance - product durability, guarantee of long-term preservation of freshness and attractiveness.

2. Tactile indicators - an important factor. It is much more pleasant to step on a soft and warm surface.

3. Design - the combination of decorativeness and the general concept of the house is important here. The path should fit into the interior, be in harmony with the surrounding space, match the tastes of the household, and emphasize the style of the house.

4. Another requirement - ease of care.

5. Hygroscopicity - the ability to absorb moisture, serve as protection against the transfer of dirt into the premises. One of the most important indicators for the carpet in the hallway.

6. Pile density and length - the denser the pile, the higher the wear resistance of the product, the longer it is, the more difficult and more frequent cleaning will be required. The ideal option is a lint-free coating, but such tracks tactilely lose in all respects to fluffy products.

The black and white striped path fits perfectly into the interior of the apartment, decorated in the Art Nouveau style. In addition, she made an excellent ensemble with a black door frame, a dark range is combined with it, and a light stripe is in perfect harmony with white walls.

The beige and coffee tones of the interior, the exquisite design of the path in the same palette make up an excellent tandem. The dark ligature of the graphic design in the center of the carpet echoes the baguettes framing the photographs on the walls and the fittings of the interior doors.

The soft, muted tones of Provence, the nautical color scheme of the room are clearly highlighted by the dark floor. A soft track in a light beige palette, splashes of wave color - a wonderful harmony of style and measure. The interior is complemented by white doors with "gold" fittings. All this reminds of the white quartz beaches of the Mediterranean.

A competent approach to the choice of a carpet runner guarantees warmth and comfort, provides the home with an attractive look.
