The best furniture for all kinds of handmade carpets

We have already discussed in detail how to set a handmade rug in a separate article, so here we will give you a brief explanation to familiarize yourself with how to set rugs in general:

Among hand-woven and machine-made carpets, there are three general color categories, in which the way to set the sofa and other decoration components is completely different. These three colors are respectively: light, dark and neutral.

1. Dark and bold colors: these colors generally make your home look warmer and cozier, which have a big weakness, which is that these colors are suitable for houses that are very small or they have very little light; They are not a suitable option and the reason for this is that these colors make your house look a little smaller.

Navy blue and lacquered red are two of the main colors of dark and colorful carpets. For navy carpets, using furniture with white, cream and light blue colors is considered an ideal option for setting, and also using brown furniture sets will give a special effect to your home, and more for furniture It is classic and easy to use.

But red or lacquer color is considered a special color, which is the best option for matching furniture with green, cream and gray colors. The best furniture that you can choose to match your home decoration with a red handwoven carpet is neoclassical and comfortable furniture.

2. Bright colors: Cream color is considered the main bright color for carpets, the main advantage of which is easy matching of furniture and decoration with it. On the other hand, the carpet with cream color will make your home appear more spacious and bigger, which is a very suitable option for small apartments.

These colors are representative of minimal and modern styles, which are the best furniture to be matched with modern and Chester furniture.
