1. Choosing Rugs According to the Space
Each room, such as the living room, bedroom, children's room, and kitchen, has its own specific needs. Living rooms generally prefer durable and stain-resistant fabrics, bedrooms opt for soft and warm, fluffy models, and children's rooms choose hypoallergenic and easy-to-clean rugs.

Light-colored rugs make small spaces feel more spacious, while darker tones create a warmer, more enclosed atmosphere. Geometric and ethnic patterns complement modern interiors, while classic patterns harmonize with traditional decor.
