KIDS AND PETS

Since pets, like children, are prone to accidents, you’ll want to make sure your area rug is easy to clean. The best, most natural, choice for combating everyday mishaps is wool. Karastan wool rugs are naturally superior because they have built-in stain resistant features. The scaly structure of the wool fibers hold dirt high on the pile, making vacuuming more efficient—and effective.

In addition to fiber type, color choice can make a difference as well. Multi-colored patterns are an excellent option if you have pets or small children because they mask spills as well as everyday wear and tear. If you’re looking for solid-color carpet, remember that light colors show dirt the most, while dark shades show more lint, dust and pet hair. In fact, if you have a shedding pet, you may want to match your pet’s hair to the carpet color. Although it sounds ridiculous it can help make you home feel a little cleaner.

Noise is another factor to consider when you have kids and pets. Expanses of hard surface flooring can reverberate household noise. Using plush textiles, such as Karastan area rugs, along with fabric upholstery and window coverings, can help absorb sound waves and make your home a more peaceful and relaxing place.
