Benefits of Using Rugs
Rugs offer a number of benefits, enhancing the appeal of any home in Singapore. Rugs and carpets add colour, texture, and pattern, creating a focal point that can tie together various elements of your interior design. By layering rugs or using them to define specific areas within a larger space, you can create a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing environment that reflects your personal taste.
Beyond their decorative impact, rugs provide practical advantages. They offer a soft, cushioned surface underfoot, which can make walking and standing more comfortable, especially on hard flooring. Rugs and carpets also can reduce noise levels by absorbing sound, creating a quieter and more peaceful atmosphere.
Choosing the Right Rug
Selecting the right rug for different areas in your home involves considering size, material, design, and placement. For most rooms in Singapore you should choose a carpet that fits under the front legs of your furniture to anchor the seating area.
The material chosen affects durability, feel, and maintenance. Wool rugs are durable and stain-resistant, ideal for high-traffic areas. Modern synthetic rugs, like nylon or polyester, are affordable and stain-resistant, suitable for homes with children or pets.
The design of your rug or carpet should harmonise with your décor. Choose patterns and colours that complement the room’s palette and style. Bold patterns can make a statement, while subtle designs suit vibrant rooms.
Tips for Maintaining Carpets and Rugs
How do I care for my rug in Singapore?
Vacuuming 1-2 times a week is ideal maintenance to keep your rug fresh and clean, and prevent dirt from penetrating the pile. It’s important to make sure that you don’t use a power head brush and just use an attachment with a smooth surface so that you avoid aggravating the shedding process.
To further extend the life of your rug or carpet, consider rotating it every 3-6 months to ensure even wear and fading. Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent stains from setting. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent solution and gently blot the area, avoiding excessive moisture.
If you are looking to buy custom-made carpets online, do follow any specific care instructions provided by the manufacturer, as these rugs may have unique materials that require special attention. By adhering to these guidelines, you can ensure that your custom carpet retains its original beauty and quality.
What are the first steps in DIY rug cleaning in Singapore?
- Blot rug dry with clean paper towels,
- Spray OxiClean Scotchguard solution,
- Allow the solution to penetrate the stain,
- Spray fabric softener to revive its texture,
- Repeat.
