To choose a rug, we must first know what its destination and purpose. The choice of a rug goes much further than aesthetics! The choice of a rug is mainly about comfort. Visual comfort, acoustic comfort, physical comfort…
We can distinguish carpets in 3 large groups: Residential, Office and Contract.
The factors to be equated range from the area to which it is intended, to understand whether we should opt for a higher or lower hair, more or less dense, to the type traffic we expect for each of the divisions. What we should take into account is: the pattern, color, texture, traffic resistance, sounding capacity, natural or synthetic product. There are several types of offers, whether in natural, sustainable and environmentally friendly or synthetic products, which can be equally “ecofriendly”, taking into account that currently most of the yarns are made from recycled materials.
At the national level we have companies such as Santos and Monteiro, MA Salgueiro, Ferreira and Sá or Lusotufo where we have several options for the 3 groups with various thicknesses of hair, patterns or smooth, synthetic or wool, and where we have the possibility to make to measure as well. Very important for the hotel sector carpets with abrasion resistance due to the large traffic as well as the possibility of large dimensions.
Internationally and more focused on the residential group there is Lorena Canals, which have a wide range of options in washable wool and cotton, very important for children’s rooms for example. Carpets that can be washed in washing machines. Handmade in natural cotton and non-toxic dyes, or natural wool fiber, very comfortable and fluffy, easy to move and that facilitates everyday tasks with washable carpets.
Scandinavian brands such as muuto, hay, normann feature options in wool or synthetics with standart measurements. Muuto has options for handmade New Zealand wool rugs with patterns inspired by the floors of other eras and the overlay of shadows. Hay, in addition to carpets with geometric and smooth patterns has a particular carpet made by colored felt balls, tied with drawstring and sewn, ideal for coloring any space and for those who like to walk barefoot.
