Rugs : A durable rug

Rugs suitable for high traffic areas

Most well-made wool rugs are quite durable, so you have many options. But there are some types of rugs that are not well suited to high-traffic areas, i suggest one made from natural materials. 
You should also avoid silk, which is not durable, and shaggy carpets, which will lay flat and wear out because you’re walking on the side of the pile and not the top.
Most wool rugs will hold up well for a relatively long time, but there is a simple step you can take to extend their lifespan. The critical thing is to put a pad underneath it. Most rugs do not wear out from the top, but from the bottom, where the knots rub against the floor. A pad “works as a shock absorber,” keeping the knots away from hard surfaces and holding the rug in place a reliable pad will last almost for four years.

Color and pattern are also important considerations. There is no point in buying a long-lasting rug if it is going to be stained by foot traffic. That means no whites or creams and no dark solid colors (think of how quickly a car with black paint appears to get dirty). Your best bet is to go with a hue somewhere in between. Search out either a solid that has specks of color in it or something with a pattern that will camouflage pet hair, spills and dirt.

Rug cleaning  : how to keep your rug clean

If you do not want to use a wool rug, consider flor carpet tiles . They are 19.7 inches square and come in many different patterns, colors and textures. You can use a single style for a clean look or mix it up with different patterns to create your own custom checkerboard rug, above. The tiles have adhesive strips on the bottom. You peel and stick them to the floor to hold them in place. The adhesive is gentle enough that you can easily pry up tiles to replace them or to move them around if one section is wearing faster than the rest.

Carpet tiles

Most flor tiles are made from nylon fibers, making them nearly indestructible. The feel of the product is similar to that of commercial carpets used in office buildings. Many companies also make tiles in natural materials, but i recommended avoiding them if longevity was a concern. “Even though catalogs show runners in natural materials in high-traffic areas, they are not cleanable”. Whereas, with nylon tiles, “if your kid spills cranberry juice or your bulldog has an accident, you can pick that tile up and rinse it off in the sink.”

Of course, keep in mind that a lived-in look can be a good thing and that rugs do not need to be flawless. “Rugs are meant to be used, and they actually improve with age”. “If you buy a quality rug, you’re polishing it as you walk across it with shoes, and that’s what gives it a desirable patina.”

Interior Decorating with plants : choosing an indoor plant

Interior Decorating with plants : choosing an indoor plant Newest Tech, Gadgets and DIY at 50% Manza Store  https://manzastore.com/ Indoor plants are a great way to bring the garden inside, adding to interior decor with natural beauty and elegant greenery. There are hundreds of plants that thrive indoors, protected from the harsher conditions of the outside world. Choosing the best interior plants will depend on gardening experience, availability, decor style, and even the architecture of the house itself.  While many plants can benefit from the regulated temperature and light indoors, not all interior plants have the same sunlight or temperature requirements. Plants that require full sun will need to be placed next to large windows, ideally those that receive several hours of sunlight per day.
