When we inherit interior design objects, there might be some which we don\u2019t want to get rid of, however we can\u2019t integrate them in our home in its original condition. It\u2019s quite easy to transform, repaint or give another function to furniture. However, it\u2019s harder in the case of carpets. If it is nice, but the size doesn\u2019t match, or it is having a slightly worn condition, or a relative made it by hand, there are some methods to save them.
\nPut it on the wall instead of the floor. Tapestries and wall carpets were used already hundreds of years ago. Beauty was also important beside their covering and draught-protecting functions. Let\u2019s follow this tradition. The big surface in the living room or the wall behind the bed is a perfect place for the carpet. It will be a great focal point in the room. Use a wooden frame to fasten it to the wall so that it cannot stretch. If it is a longer runner, it could be even a half canopy above the bed.
\nThe woven, softer rugs can be used as bedspreads or laying at the end of the bed as decorating elements. Our favorite reading armchair or the sofa can be \u201epadded\u201d with it, making it cozier and protecting the original upholstery.
\nCarpet is superb for upholstering also. A pouf, an armchair or an ottoman can be renewed with it. It will be sturdy and the heritage gets a new life also. This way it is easy to bring color to the interior.
\nShabbier carpets can be used for making cushions or pillows. The fabric is thick, so it\u2019s worth to leave it to a professional seamstress, who has a proper machine for this. The carpet will be cut to measure with skipping the worn-out parts and the cushion will be made this way. Fringes and beads decors fit well for classic carpets.
\nWho wants to do a makeover but has no inherited pieces, there are proper beautiful and old rugs in many antiquities. Ask for help of an interior designer for selecting and further usage ideas.<\/p>\n
