1. Rug size & structure
We recommend marking out the area where you want to put the rug with a broad ribbon. This will give you a sense of the actual size you need. Furthermore, there are different requirements for each room that you should factor in.
A beautiful rug welcomes you with a homely atmosphere as soon as you open the door. Our tip: round shapes are ideal for access rooms. Make sure to opt for a robust, durable material.
Living room
Rugs can serve to split up big rooms into smaller sections – separating the living and dining area, for example. This works best with large pieces that encompass the couch and armchairs. Overall, your home will thus feel more spacious. Smaller rugs, on the other hand, prove useful wherever you’d like to accentuate certain spots.
Dining room
If your rug lies under a table, it should be at least 30 inches longer and wider than the table. These extra inches allow you to move the chairs and sit down, without them slipping off the rug.
Schlafzimmer
Mit dem falschen Fuß aufstehen? Unmöglich, wenn unter dem Bett ein kuscheliger Teppich liegt! Achten Sie darauf, Ihr Bett mittig zu platzieren. Rechts und links sollten Sie mindestens 60 cm dazu addieren – das Gleiche gilt für das Fußteil. So können Sie auch Ihre Nachttische problemlos auf den Teppich stellen.
Kinderzimmer
Kinder verbringen viel Zeit damit, ihre Umwelt mit allen Sinnen zu entdecken. Gerade in den ersten Jahren nehmen sie gerne alles, was ihnen in die Finger kommt, direkt in den Mund. Deshalb sind für Eltern bei der Teppich-Auswahl zwei Aspekte entscheidend: Zum einen empfehlen wir natürliche Materialien wie beispielsweise Wolle oder Jute, die bei PAULIG für sämtliche Modelle zum Einsatz kommen. Zum anderen raten wir zu einer weichen und flacheren, aber dennoch spannenden Struktur. So können sich auch die Kleinsten auf dem Teppich nach Lust und Laune austoben.
Arbeitszimmer
Ähnlich wie bei Esszimmern sollten Sie in Ihrem Home Office sowohl Schreibtisch als auch Schreibtischstuhl auf dem Teppich platzieren. Um ein angenehmes Arbeitsumfeld zu schaffen, eignen sich warme Farben und ausgefallene, aber flache Strukturen.
2. Materials & production
All of our rugs are handmade – from the very first to the final step. Ecological and social sustainability lies at the core of our company’s philosophy. We use renewable materials only: wool, jute, cotton, hemp, sisal, and silk. To ensure a gentle treatment, we rely on pure water and chemical-free soap. In addition, each carpet is finished with a certified, natural, and odorless moth protection. For coloring, we use quality products from Switzerland which are strictly controlled and free of heavy metals.
3. BEAT and SALSA collections
A rhythm that pulsates under your feet and fills your whole body: We’re not talking about music here, but rather about rugs from our BEAT collection on black chain.
