Looking for the good stuff: carpets for every occasion

Carpets are used to add the finishing touch to a room. Finding the right one can be difficult. That's why we're here to help with tips and tricks. Room by room, we show you which format is generally best suited.

A carpet, which is supposed to give a room a little something extra, also enhances the floor. That's why it shouldn't cover more than half the room. In this way, it highlights the corners that you like. A rug can also be very useful if you want to divide a room into several areas - it optically separates the different zones.

The kitchen, reading area and hallway

Vinyl mats are kitchen accessories that give the floor a warm accent as well as being practical. They are washable, dimensionally stable and very thin. A rug under your feet will also do you good in a cosy reading corner. As an armchair and side table don't take up much space, the rug can be small and thin. Organic shapes and original patterns transform the corner into a real focal point of the room.

For long hallways, choosing a hallway rug is well worth it - it becomes a real eye-catcher next to the wardrobe. It accompanies you into every room and is pleasantly soft underfoot. If the room is more square, opt for a round or square rug.

All roads lead to Rome

To choose the right rug for your home, all you need to do is ask yourself the right questions. There are, of course, other ways in which your rug will stand out and other individual situations where you should consider other criteria. So your questions are welcome in the comments section below.
