1. Consider the Size of Your Room

Before choosing a carpet, measure your space carefully.

• Small rooms: Opt for a carpet that doesn’t overcrowd the area. Light colors can make the space appear larger.

• Large rooms: A big carpet can define the seating area and bring cohesion to the furniture arrangement.

• Under furniture: Ensure at least the front legs of sofas or chairs rest on the carpet to create a balanced look.

2. Choose the Right Material

Different materials offer unique benefits:

• Wool carpets: Durable, soft, and naturally stain-resistant. Ideal for living rooms and bedrooms.

• Synthetic carpets: Affordable and easy to clean. Good for high-traffic areas.

• Cotton or jute: Lightweight, casual, and eco-friendly, perfect for low-traffic spaces or majlis areas.

3. Pick a Color and Design

• Neutral tones: Create a calm, elegant backdrop for furniture.

• Bold patterns: Add personality and can hide minor stains or dirt.

• Complement your interior: Match carpets with sofas, curtains, and wall colors to create a cohesive look.

Tip: In Doha homes, many people prefer modern geometric patterns or traditional oriental designs to blend luxury and comfort.

4. Consider Maintenance and Durability

• High-traffic areas like hallways or living rooms need durable carpets that can withstand frequent use.

• Light-colored carpets require regular cleaning but brighten up rooms beautifully.

• Vacuum regularly and spot-clean spills immediately to maintain quality.

5. Add Local Style Touches

In Qatar, combining carpets with majlis seating, cushions, and rugs adds a unique cultural touch. Layering rugs or mixing textures can give your home a luxurious yet cozy feel.
