Rugs are one of the most commonly used resources to decorate homes and give a different touch to spaces. In addition to the possibilities of disguising a defect in the original flooring until we can change it completely. And of course, we don't forget the ease of cleaning them, without vacuums or costly dry cleaning.
But, how much do you know about these types of rugs? We tell you everything you need to know about them.
What are vinyl floorings?
The great revolution of vinyl rugs is their plastic composition. They are made with materials such as PVC, fibreglass, and even PET used in recycled plastic bottles. The aesthetic, furthermore, is pleasing: it is reminiscent of the rag rugs made on traditional Scandinavian looms. In fact, brands like Keplan or Brita Sweden weave them with these.
Why are vinyl carpets so practical?
They can be cleaned with any type of product without being affected, such as alcohol and bleach. They also repel dust and animal hair. They are perfect for allergy sufferers. The technical peculiarities of their composition make them very resistant to fire, wear and tear, and scratches and marks left by furniture legs or chair wheels. They are also good for acoustic insulation. For all these reasons, vinyl flooring is booming and is increasingly being integrated into home decor.
How do I integrate them into my home decor?
There are vinyl carpets in all sorts of colours, allowing them to be adapted to any environment, be it modern, classic or rustic. We recommend them in kitchens, subjected to stains and splashes; in bathrooms, where humidity doesn't affect them or cause mould to form on their base; and on terraces.
Alongside the plain-colour options, there are more creative vinyl flooring designs. The reproduction of motifs is not only of high quality and resolution, but also allows for the possibility of creating custom designs.
Of particular note are those that reproduce traditional hydraulic tiles, barely 3 mm thick – in this case, printed, not woven.
Full use of the land
Applying it to the entire floor surface, with a finish that imitates wood or a smooth, soft tone, we can give any room a new lease of life. It's not just for decoration; it can also cover broken tiles, holes, or any other issues you might have with the original floor. These photos are of a kitchen, but can you imagine this applied to a bathroom?
Furthermore, it is much cheaper than changing the flooring completely and is just as easy to clean. Don't miss this idea when renovating your home.
In conclusion, it is a great investment at a variable price and with great advantages, not only because of its resistance to humidity and chemicals, but also because they contribute to the decoration of any room and correct and protect the original floor from any surface damage.
