    When renovating and choosing a floor covering, you need to decide what role it plays in the design of the room. If this is the main object in the interior, on which attention is focused, then bright colors and unusual textures, such as multi-colored carpet, will be appropriate. In other cases, it is worth choosing a restrained palette and a classic finishing method, such as plain tiles or light laminate.

    If the sofa and armchair are located in the same area, then the colors are chosen differently. Furniture items can have common motifs, for example, a common theme, a decorative item or one of the shades, otherwise these are two separate items. An armchair as a separate piece of furniture, for example, in the bedroom near the dressing table, can become the main object, due to the unusual shape and upholstery.
