Area Rugs Versus Marble or Wooden Flooring

With so many flooring options such as luxury Vinyl Flooring, Elegant  Hardwood Flooring, classy Italian Marble Flooring and plush and practical Carpet Flooring, it can be quite a daunting task to decide what to put on your floor. It can be confusing to choose between carpet flooring and all other hard flooring options. There are several distinct advantages of using an Area Rug when compared to other hard flooring options that will bend your preference towards choosing the right rug without a doubt.

Reduces Noise

One of the most significant advantages of using a handmade carpet  is reduction in noise and clatter. You will notice that when there is no carpet in the room, sound bounces off the walls and echos. This is because hard surfaces cannot really absorb sound like soft surfaces such as carpet can. Carpet flooring has a vital role to play in creating a much quieter space.

Safety Parameters

Carpet flooring ranks high on safety parameters. Hard surfaces can be really slippery and can do a lot of damage in case of accidental slips and falls. On the other hand, carpet offers you a soft landing surface should you face an unforeseen fall.  This is why carpet flooring is particularly popular for baby rooms, and stairs. Carpets are ideal, especially if you have elderly residents, young residents or residents with mobility issues at home.

Warmth

Carpets add brilliant insulation value to any given space, much more than any hard surface. Hence, a good quality area rug can largely contribute towards reducing your costs associated with heating your home during winters. Carpet flooring is ideal for places that experience cold winters.

Comfort

It goes without saying that carpets are a very comfortable deal when compared to hard surfaces. You will notice that after standing or walking on hard surfaces such as marble floors, or ceramic tiles, your feet and body will feel achy and sore. This is because they don’t really offer any underfoot flexibility. This means they are incapable of acting as shock absorbers for your feet. On the contrary it feels cosy and nice to walk on carpet flooring because carpets are shock absorbing. The cushioning ability of carpets and their flexibility makes them highly comfortable for touching, standing, and walking. It is indeed easier on your body if you have been standing or walking for too long.

Style Statement

Despite various hard surfaces making it to the top interior design magazines,  acarpet is a style statement in itself. For example with a wool carpet, you can instantly transform any space and make it look more stylish, elegant, luxurious and cosy. By just changing the style of your carpet, you can change the complete look and feel of a room.
