Motel Mirrors

Imagine walking into a new room. The website carpet is your first impression. Like the cherry topping on a dessert or the perfect addition to an ensemble, the carpet can transform a room. Carpets are able to transform an entire room, making it look elegant, comfortable, and luxurious. Keep them clean and in good condition can be a challenge, just like trying to keep your white shirt from getting dirty at a pasta dinner.

Why do carpets make such a huge impact on home decor? It’s not all about aesthetics. Consider how they reduce sound and soften steps. You can even add warmth (both literally and metaphorically) to any area. It’s almost like having an invisible partner who helps make everything better.

But how can I maintain that perfect look? It’s here that things get interesting. Tell you the story of my friend Lisa. Lisa hosted a party for wine tastings at her house. The evening began well, until someone decided they would show off their enthusiasm a little too much. Merlot fell to the ground! Lisa feared that her carpet was permanently stained with burgundy.

It was her quick-thinking and the tips she learned from years of entertaining. First of all she blotted, not rubbed, the stain using paper towels. (A crucial distinction!) Club soda works wonders when it comes to fresh stains. Who knew bubbly bottled water could do so much?

We all hate regular maintenance but we can’t avoid it if we want to keep our carpets looking good. Vacuuming can do more than pick up the popcorn crumbs. By preventing dirt from grinding in to fibers, vacuuming actually helps prolong the life expectancy of carpets.

Ever tried deep cleaning? This is like giving your rug a spa day. Steam cleaners will do the trick, but if this isn’t your cup of tea, you might want to consider hiring a professional every now and then.

Choosing the best carpet is a completely different matter. Wool, nylon or polyester… they all have their advantages and disadvantages. Wool feels luxurious to the touch, but can be more prone to stains than other materials.

We’ll talk about color for a minute! Light colors open up the space but reveal dirt more easily than dark shades, which hide sins even better than a traditional confessional!

Rugs don’t have to be just functional–they can also be very personal. When I visited my grandmother, each rug was a unique piece of art. The fibers were decades old and told stories about travels to other countries or family milestones.

These tips will come in handy the next time your mind wanders over what to do about flooring, or you worry that guests might leave footprints behind on plush surfaces. Although carpets can seem boring at first, delve deeper and you’ll find that they are woven with character. And you’ll see that they’re woven in a way that is unique.

Watch the carpets work their magic. It will make anyone who enters your home feel comfortable, even if some wine spills.
