Baby carpets in the room for boys
A couple of decades ago, carpets were an incredibly important part of the interior, met almost everywhere and were placed everywhere - both on the floor and on the walls. Today, such a decision is often perceived as a sign of bad taste. Almost the only place where the floor carpet still has a place to be is the children's room. Children's carpets in the room for boys are very appropriate, but only under one condition - that they were chosen, guided by important rules. Certain recommendations should be taken into account, and then the result will not disappoint you.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantage of floor carpets in the nursery is that they are ideally suited for this particular room, regardless of whether it is a small child or teenager. If we talk about the obvious advantages for a preschooler who spends most of the home games right on the floor, they are:
- Carpet reliably protects from the cold, it is less likely to catch a cold.
- Due to its softness, carpet is convenient for sitting for hours and lying in any position.
- Parents also remain in the black, because the carpet drowns out the noise of children's games.
- Modern carpets for kids have an attractive design - with painted roads, houses and much more. Compared to the past, there are many options today.
For the room of a teenager, a floor carpet is also useful, since today such products are produced in the form as close as possible to individual hobbies.
As for any shortcomings, they could not be found. The only possible problem may lie except in the wrong choice of accessory.
Materials
It is necessary to choose the material of the product not only for its appearance or cost, but also for a variety of qualities that are absolutely necessary in the case of use by a child. Speech and hypoallergenic - it is unacceptable that the material at least theoretically provoke allergies. Even if your child is out of risk, perhaps trying to invite a friend will end in a very unpleasant situation.
In addition, the material should assume the simplicity of regular cleaning, as the carpet (like any other textile accessory) collects a lot of harmful dust. Finally, the rug should not slide on the floor, otherwise the baby, accelerating and running on it, can go along with it and hit hard. To avoid such situations, choose either heavy options, or those that have a non-slip substrate.
If we talk about specific materials, then there are three main varieties:
- Wool. The warmest, strongest, durable and environmentally friendly solution, with amazing sound-absorbing properties. However, there are some drawbacks too - consumers especially don’t like the high price of natural raw materials. In addition, with ideal material hypoallergenicity, wool collects a maximum of dust that can cause allergies.
Carpet cleaning is complicated by its large weight. Often carry out wet cleaning is not possible. Typically, this option is used for radical floor insulation or buy small-sized floor mats.
- Artificial wool - acrylic, polyacryl, polyamide. If you have a bad idea of what it is, remember the carpet - it is made from the same materials.The advantages of choosing artificial floor mats are low cost, antistatic impregnation, dust repellent, dirt-repellent properties and the ability to use any care products.
These materials do not contribute to the appearance of bacteria and insects, and even weigh a little. True, they do not contribute to warming at all, and in softness they are much inferior to natural wool.
- Modern materials - propylene foam, ethylene vinyl acetate. Such a rug is sometimes similar to a rubber, but it is not made of rubber. This product has much more advantages. It combines the advantages of both natural wool and artificial.
In addition, designers use this material to create prefabricated rugs from small pieces according to the principle puzzle. This is very convenient because it allows you even to take such an accessory with you on a visit or to the nature.
Forms and models
Speaking about the choice of shape and size, many are limited only by the choice of size. Here you should clearly understand the difference: a large carpet, which occupies a significant part of the children's area, forms the whole of its design. And another question: whether it should adapt to the interior, or the rest of the interior - under it.
Small rugs play the role of accessories, they can help in the issue of dividing a room into functional zones. However, if there are a lot of them, you will have to try a lot so that they (being different in their nature and goals) all together create a certain single image.
The classic form of the carpet is square or rectangular, such options are used in the nursery. However, they do not contribute to the visual expansion of too close space. To achieve the desired effect will help the oval or round rug, as well as other (even more complex) geometric shapes.
Colour
There are so many colors of carpets for children that the choice of any one seems to be quite a difficult task. If we are talking about some large carpet, then it simply must be combined with the general interior of the room. This does not always mean that it should be the same color as the walls - on the contrary, it can create a contrast, but such a combination should in any case leave a pleasant impression.
As for the small rugs for individual functional areas, everything depends on the specific area. In the game you can give free rein to fantasies, use the brightest solutions in unexpected combinations - there are practically no restrictions.
For a recreation area, it is better to choose something calmer, delicate pastel shades, without bright colors - soothing in nature. The working area should be comfortable, but not distract from the main thing, so you should choose a monochromatic design of a pleasant shade - for example, a blue rug.
The choice of color palette also depends on the age of the boy. If this is a baby, then too bright colors are contraindicated for him, otherwise it will be hard for him to fall asleep, and after all, regular sound sleep at this age is very important.
Preschoolers will enjoy the brightest of all possible solutions, they stimulate his imagination and creative inclinations. The same statement is also relevant for younger schoolchildren, but adolescents are already less prone to too bright colors - unless this is demanded by the hobby that is reflected in the design of the product.
How to choose?
The choice of an ideal carpet depends on the age of the child, because often the design of the product directly overlaps with his interests - unless you prefer a very simple monochrome option.
For small children
For young children, the carpet is a kind of playground, so it would be quite nice if it matches the game needs to the maximum. Among boys (a favorite toy of which, as you know, a machine), carpets with painted roads are very popular. Having what you usually have to imagine, you can imagine a lot more!
Naturally, any images of your favorite characters from the animated series are also very relevant. Different carpets that can be assembled and disassembled will also appeal to children. They perform the same important developmental functions as the classic constructor.
For teens
For adolescents, a carpet is an exclusively decorative element, so it must either be a neutral adornment or indicate a boy’s hobbies and hobbies. For example, a good gift even for an adult man is a green rectangular foot pad in the shape of a football field.
The marine style carpets are also relevant - the boys' traditional blue and white color scheme, decorated with images of both marine life, ships, handwheels, or simply seascapes.
Examples in the interior of the nursery
It is worth giving a few examples of how a properly selected carpet can be an ideal complement to interior design.
On the first photo - a relatively strict decision that is perfect for a teenager's room. It is not very catchy, but at the same time and not monophonic, with a short nap, convenient for walking and cleaning.
The next example is an elegant, nautical-style carpet pattern. There are toys in the photo, but this is more of a decorative move, because such coverage is interesting not earlier than ten years old.
Below is an example of artificial carpet throughout the room. It will not be too boring and official due to the fact that it is monotonous. Not at all - pay attention to how cozy and cute such a room of a junior schoolboy looks.
The fourth photo shows how it is possible with the help of modern carpet design to further emphasize the rebellious nature of a teenager who is already beginning to really associate himself with adults.
Finally, the last example is just a good combination of the color of the carpet with the overall palette of the interior.
