We’ve explored beyond pure aesthetics to build the foolproof roadmap to help you select the right carpet to dress up every corner of your home. Discover how, starting with a carpet, you can turn your home into a comfortable, harmonious and functional space.
Before choosing which carpet will dress your home, it is essential to understand that these pieces are not only decorative elements. They are the root, the visual cement that defines the essence, personality and character of the space they shelter. It is for this reason that the choice of a carpet goes beyond pure aesthetics: it is a strategic decision to give a home its own shape and stamp.
1. Decide the space
Bearing this in mind, when choosing a carpet it is essential to consider the basic premise: in which space will it be incorporated?
Carpets are a versatile and effective tool to weave a visual dialogue and act as a link between the elements that live together in the same space. Selected with care and strategy, they can completely transform the perception of an environment.
Thin yarn, when it comes to the living room, a carpet can become an effective resource to visually unify, collect and organize the pieces of furniture that live together in an area. In short: they provide cohesion and harmony. In fact, they can even be used to sectorize the room and divide it into several scenes: a reading area, a rest area for watching TV, a play area for the little ones, etc.
You can also transform your resting space with a rug. Often, the vast majority of bedrooms with a double bed consist of two rugs on each side of the mattress. In this case, from Coblonal we propose an aesthetic solution: opt for a large carpet that hugs the bed from one side to the other. This will bring uniformity and order to your room and favor its visual distribution.
Finally, one piece of advice we give you is to avoid carpets in the kitchen: most of them are made of non-porous materials that invite the accumulation of dirt and end up becoming impractical elements that compromise hygiene.
2. The color of the carpet: tools to complement and contrast
The color of the carpet should not only complement and beautify the space it covers. It must give it rhythm and visual order and build an atmosphere. And the choice of the right shade can completely transform the perception of a space.
The first basic rule for choosing the color of a carpet is to look for harmony in the space as a whole. We propose an example: visualize a gray floor. Incorporating a carpet of the same color would create a homogenous mass without personality and monotonous. Instead, playing with colors that complement or contrast with the space can be the key to achieving a visually unique image with character.
If what you are looking for is a more neutral and relaxed aesthetic, carpets with natural fibers in neutral, taupe or gray tones are safe choices. On the other hand, for the most daring, the Berber carpets – inspired by Moroccan craftsmanship – or the Turkish Kilim in vibrant colors are an option to endow a space with a unique, personal mark and full of vitality.

The classics never fail
Rectangular, square, round… In terms of shapes, there are many types. The key is to know which one best suits the needs and layout of your home.
The rectangular and round ones are a classic that will not fail you. And the fact is that we cannot overlook the timelessness and elegance of these traditional carpets. They are a safe and versatile bet that adapts to all styles of decoration.
Rectangular rugs are a classic option that never goes out of fashion, and at Coblonal we use them strategically to define and delimit areas in larger spaces, such as a living room or a dining room, and thus create a sense of order and cohesion On the other hand, round rugs are a good tool if what we want is to soften the corners of a space or break its visual rigidity.
The choice of these classic shapes varies depending on the general design of the space and the arrangement of the furniture. A rectangular rug can frame and structure areas, while a round rug can love and add dynamism to smaller spaces.
For the most daring
Carpets printed with geometric patterns are a trend that has been firmly established to define spaces. Moving away from the conventional, incorporating rugs with unusual shapes, asymmetrical designs and irregular edges can bring a vibrant, modern and dynamic touch to your home. Carpets with creative silhouettes that challenge the hegemonic rectangular or round pattern are a visual statement to break the traditional uniformity of a space.
4. Fabrication material
The variety of existing textures is wide: from luxurious natural fibers to the most resistant synthetic ones. For this reason the choice of material is crucial. At Coblonal we bet on incorporating customized synthetic carpets to dress up spaces, combining practicality with authenticity. Even so, it is also worth exploring natural options such as wool, jute or sisal to achieve spaces that exude warmth and their own stamp.
5. Carpets as a symbol of comfort
Beyond their aesthetic function, carpets are a symbol of warmth, comfort and a constant feeling of well-being. For this reason, when choosing one, it is not only necessary to consider its visual aspect, but also to think about how it will contribute to the daily well-being of the users of a home.
And it is that, in essence, carpets make a space more welcoming and comfortable. They are the essential allies to create a home that not only looks good, but also feels good.
