Red area rugs
Part of every new homeowner or the one renovating the home is to style them in a way that will make you feel good and cozy. Most of the elements can be easily chosen, but when it comes to accessorizing, it can be challenging.
For example, the color, design, or size of rugs can be tricky to style because you need to know what you want to do with that rug. Whether you want that rug to provide to the room - is it going to act as a focal point, warm up the space, or make it look bigger, and many more options.
So, to help you decide on the choice, here are a few things you can consider while looking for the best red area rug:
-
Color. You don't need to spend most of your time searching for the perfect color match for a rug and interior. If you try to do that, it can create an unpleasant look in your home. So, look for a shade that will help you create a cohesive look. If you are not fond of bright red, look for more muted red tones; this way, you will have an element that can act as an accent to the room.
-
Size. When it comes to rugs, size matters. By far most popular is the area rug. Area rugs are large enough to cover a lot of space on the floor and act like a centerpiece in the distance. But make sure that you put such carpet in the bigger places, like the living room or dining room, because if it's a small space, it can overcrowd space.
-
Material. Another thing you need to look at is the material of the rug. You can choose from synthetic or natural materials. Of course, there are a lot of good synthetic material rugs, but if you have the budget for a natural material rug, you can consider it an option.
Outdoor rugs in red
Outdoor space is one of those spaces where most of the summer and spring evenings are spent. Consider accessorizing the room to have a perfect setting for spending the evenings.
Besides the outdoor furniture, you can use outdoor rugs in red. Interior designer Brendan Kwinter says, "I like to use the outdoor rug as a patio's centerpiece. It helps make the outside feel as cozy as your living room."
The rug can help you make the outdoor space look and feel like an actual living room. You often only enjoy the time on the patio in summer and spring, but what about winter? The main problem occurs - do you keep the rug outside or bring it inside to the store?
Of course, this depends on where you live. The only thing that comes in the winter everywhere is dampness. You can get rain, sleet, snow, ice, and slush. So, you must ensure that your outdoor rug can withstand all conditions. The best thing is to choose an outdoor rug made from synthetic materials like polypropylene or poly silk. They are made to be water resistant, and this won't loosen the fibers.
The other thing about outdoor rugs in red is that they are made especially for harsh weather conditions. So, if you live in an area with constant freezing, snowing, and thawing, the rug fibers won't freeze up. This lets you keep the rug outside for the winter season, and you don't need to find a place for rug storage.
If you worry about leaving your outdoor rug outside for the winter or rainy weather, there's no need to worry. Outdoor rugs are resistant to mold and mildew, so when they dry up, you don't need to worry that mold or mildew will grow and ruin your fabulous carpet and won't affect your rug's longevity.
Red bathroom rugs
We have all been there - that is the best material for the red or bathroom rugs. First, the bathroom rugs must have this feature - moisture resistance; the one important thing is the style and color.
With a red bathroom rug, you can brighten up the space and create a perfect and peaceful atmosphere. You can either place the carpet beside the bath or shower, which will keep you from slipping when you go out of the shower or bath, or you can put it in front of the sink so you will have a cushion for your feet and help you feel warm.
So the big question - is what material to choose for the bathroom rug. It's essential to have a moisture-resistant carpet, so here are a few materials that you might want to place in the space:
-
Cotton. It is a natural material that designers love to recommend for bathroom rugs for a few reasons - it's durable, comfortable, and soft. But be careful because not all cotton is the same; for example, Turkish cotton will be more suitable because it dries faster. So, before buying the rug, check the label.
-
Chenille. It is a woven fabric made from a mix of different fibers - cotton, silk, and wool. This material absorbs water very quickly, making it excellent for bathroom space and splash zones, like beside the shower or bathtub.
-
Nylon. It is a synthetic rug material, but it's great for the bathroom space. This material is durable; you can even wash it in the washing machine and dry it in the dryer. It's non-slip, water-resistant, and stain-resistant.
-
Polyester. Another synthetic material that is stain-resistant and water-resistant can be used in the bathroom. The best thing is that you will only need to change it occasionally because it has longevity.
Red kitchen rugs
The care process of any rug is essential, especially if it's in the kitchen. The everyday or regular cleaning of your red kitchen rug is one of the best ways to keep it in shape and expand its longevity.
Of course, all the steps are relatively simple and don't take much time, like vacuuming. Sometimes more than just vacuuming is needed, especially if the rug is in the kitchen, so you might need to look for professionals to clean it. Your carpet will undoubtedly be clean after the professionals do their job, but let's face it, this type of service can be pretty expensive.
To help you have a more manageable experience and not spend a fortune on professional cleaning. You can use a few things to deep clean your rug. The deep cleaning process you need to do only once a year, so this is a common thing. Here are a few simple DIY steps:
-
Vacuum. This is the first step you need to do - the vacuuming can pick up all loose dirt and dust from the fibers. So, in the next step, you won't have piles of hair stuck to the brush.
-
Shampoo and brush. You must shampoo your carpet to remove the dirt in the deeper layers of the rug's fibers. It's best to buy a special rug shampoo with elements that will not damage the fibers. The brushing process is pretty simple; ensure that the strokes are gentle; you can use a sponge for this step. It will loosen up the build-up and stubborn dirt.
-
Wash. Once all the deep dirt is lifted, you must pressure wash the rug. If your carpet can go into a washing machine, you can throw it and let it do the job.
-
Drying. The most crucial step - you can put a damp rug in the area because it can damage the fibers. Please leave it to dry naturally in the backyard but in the shade because the sun can fade the red color. You will end up not-so-good-looking rug.
Red rugs for the living room
The most crucial space in the house is the living room. This is a space where most family members gather and spend time together, like playing games, watching Tv, or doing other fun activities. So naturally, you want the area to have that inviting and cozy feeling that will help others want to spend more time.
Since the living room is the space for everyone, you need to carefully select the living room rug material. It should have specific qualifications and is not only pet-friendly but kid-friendly too. The essential qualities for rugs to fit in this category are durability and non-toxicity. If you look for these two qualities, you can quickly narrow down a lot of red carpets that might not fit your needs.
-
Durability. Red rugs for the living room must withstand high traffic so they won't wear fast. Natural wool or synthetic material like polypropylene or polyester is an excellent choice.
-
Non-toxicity. This is a crucial criterion because if you have children or pets, the toxic material or the way the rug was made can harm them. So, you need to look if the rug retailer provides the manufacturer with information on how the carpet was made. You need to look up if any chemicals were added during the making process because they can be pretty harsh.
