Rooms that are small can be visually enlarged by the placement of neutral shades carpets like cream, gray, and white.

Certain areas of our homes are idle spots, which means that they don’t receive much footfall, whereas other portions witness heavy foot traffic.

Therefore it is recommended to buy carpets that are durable and are also versatile enough to work well with all schemes in the home so when need arises they can easily be shifted to any room.

Such people can relax best in rooms with organic carpets like jute, wool, and cotton etc. Synthetic carpets will trigger the allergens so they should be avoided at all costs.
- Easy on maintenance: Our homes are our crash pads. Furniture pieces, especially carpets should be ones with minimum maintenance requirements. We don’t want to spend our leisure time tending to cleaning hassles, do we?
