It’s already Friday the 13th and that too in the month of February. Your heart is pounding and you have no idea at all what to gift your Valentine. At the same time, you don’t want this year to be just another Valentine and give your significant other the same old chocolates, cookies, roses. The perfect idea to surprise your special one would be to present him with a handmade rug which could be cherished for years and years altogether.
Now, stop overthinking and step up your game and choose a nice handmade carpet that would match and blend in with your loved one’s home décor. There are several ways to go about it and once you’re done, this would serve as the most appropriate gift for that special someone. So, how does one go about it and pick that ideal last minute gift?
1 Envision the kind of rug that you would want to surprise your loved one with. Is it something in a traditional design, modern or contemporary pattern or something transitional? A traditional carpet design is something that would never go out of style and would be evergreen, irrespective of the change in décor. On the other hand, a modern or contemporary rug is easy to match and can be changed according to the changing décor of the space.
2 Now that you have determined the kind of rug, it is now time to decide the type of material of the carpet. There are several options for this. You could pick from a pure silk rug to a woolen rug or could possibly choose a wool and silk mix material rug. However, it is highly advisable not to go for an artificial silk or synthetic carpet since they are highly inflammable and catches fire even at the drop of a matchstick. Now, you certainly don’t want such a mishap to take place.
3) So now that you have configured the type and material you want to go with, its time to decide other aesthetics like color, size and design. It is highly suggested to go ahead with a color that is neutral and easy to match with the rest of the décor. As far as the size is concerned, envision the space that you anticipate to place the rug at and accordingly choose the size. Mind you, it is always better to go with a size that is slightly smaller as opposed to an oversized carpet that would be hard to fit in.
4) Lastly, you want this Valentine’s Day to be a memorable one and you surely do not want to burn a hole in your pocket. So before you go ahead and choose your carpet, it is best to determine your budget and accordingly go ahead with other characteristics in picking a perfect one.
Hey, you! Stop procrastinating and continue reading this over and over again. Get on your toes and make that someone feel on top of this world with a gorgeous handmade carpet.
