Room carpets

Jakobsdals area carpets are suitable for all of your rooms. The choice of area carpet depends entirely on the function the carpet is intended to serve. When placing a carpet under a sofa, you can either place it under the entire sofa for a warm and cozy feel, or under a third of the sofa. This not only helps the carpet stay in place but also ensures the carpet and sofa complement each other in the room. The carpet needs to be at least as long as the sofa, ideally longer. Jakobsdals offers area carpets in sizes 160x230 cm, 200x300 cm, and 300x400 cm, which are perfect for modular sofas, 3-seater sofas, and 2-seater sofas.

When placing a carpet under a dining table, it's important that the area carpet is larger than the table and allows chairs to be pushed in and out without getting caught on the edge of the carpet. Therefore, an area carpet under a dining table with chairs on all four sides needs to be slightly larger.

A fluffy carpet is more comfortable to sink your toes into and rest your feet on. An area carpet dampens sound, protects floors from wear, and collects dust particles. The color that suits best is definitely a matter of personal preference and the type of focal point you want the carpet to have in the room. A colorful carpet looks great in a room with more neutral furniture, creating a better contrast in the space.

Jakobsdals area carpets are made from wool and cotton or jute and cotton. Wool is a durable, natural, dirt-repellent, and wear-resistant material with natural fire resistance. Your wool area carpet may shed a bit at first, as there is always some leftover material from the manufacturing process. Avoid exposing your wool carpet to direct sunlight. Minor stains on the wool carpet can be effectively treated with gall soap or dishwashing liquid in lukewarm water. Never use chemicals. More difficult stains should always be treated by a professional.

Here's how to take care of your wool walking carpet.

Durable wool is a natural material that, with proper care, is both naturally dirt-repellent and long-lasting. It’s important to know that a wool runner will shed at first. This happens because there is leftover material and loose threads from the manufacturing process. If you vacuum your runner gently, the shedding will decrease over time. Keep in mind that wool is sensitive to direct sunlight. For minor stains, it’s best to treat them immediately with gall soap or dish soap in lukewarm water. Never use chemicals. Always work from the outside of the stain inwards, and then blot it away. More difficult stains should always be treated by a professional. Wool also has natural flame resistance.

Here's how to care for your cotton room carpet.

The cotton material is durable and hard-wearing but easily absorbs dirt. Cotton does not have natural flame resistance. Cotton is also sensitive to direct sunlight. For minor stains on the area carpet, treat them immediately with gall soap or dishwashing liquid in lukewarm water. More difficult stains should be treated by a professional. A cotton area carpet should only be shaken (never beaten).

Here's how to care for your polyester walking carpet.

Polyester is a relatively low-maintenance material that is less sensitive to moisture and stains. The material is easy to dye, giving it a beautiful shine and luster, which creates a soft and luxurious impression. When caring for your polyester carpet, it’s important to note that some polyester carpets can sometimes be difficult to clean deeply. Therefore, it's essential to flip and shake the carpet during cleaning. Heavy wear can lead to a loss of luster, so it's recommended to rotate the polyester carpet occasionally. Avoid getting greasy stains on the carpet, as they can be very difficult to remove.

Here's how to take care of your jute room carpet.

Jute is a short natural fiber extracted from the stems of the Corchorus plant, which grows on small bushes. These bushes originate from India, where Jakobsdals carpets are also manufactured. The scent from a jute carpets comes from the oil used to bind the fibers when spinning the jute yarn. When caring for your jute carpet, it’s important to avoid using water for cleaning, as it can dissolve the fibers. However, a damp cloth can be used to try to absorb as much liquid as possible from any spills. For cleaning, the jute carpet should be vacuumed. If a stain occurs, it should be addressed immediately. For longer durability, the carpet should be vacuumed regularly on both sides, as well as the floor beneath it. It is also recommended to air the carpet once or twice a year.
