Home decoration is crucial, but paying attention to details is even more important.
After the initial hard furnishings, does your house look bland with simple white walls and flooring? The rescue for a finely decorated home lies in soft furnishings, especially carpets! It’s essential to have a carpet in the living room, especially for those embracing the modern minimalist trend. While it exudes sophistication, without a carpet, it might feel empty and cold. A carpet brings an instant warm touch to the soul of your space!
Six Key Guidelines:
- Budget adequately and opt for wool carpets, as they are a superior alternative to faux rabbit fur carpets.
- Choose TPR backing over dotted plastic backing for better slip resistance.
- Select carpets with tight density and moderate thickness. Generally, 1cm (10mm) offers softness, while below 0.5mm (5mm) may lack comfort.
- Classic and versatile carpet colors include black, white, and gray. Soft tones complement your furniture and brighten up the space.
- Carpets should ideally be large rather than small. Refer to the recommended sizes for the living room/bedroom.
- Pros and cons of carpets:
(1) Wool Carpets:

(2) Faux Wool Carpets:
