The New Trends in Carpets

When decorating your home, one the essential things to consider is the carpet. Matching up the carpet seamlessly with your sofa, chairs and walls can always be a hard thing to decide on. This blog will help you through the latest trends and hand out some tips and tricks to picking the right carpet for your home.

The new direction in the newer carpets is towards layered colours and soft textures. The combination between the two will always be popular because it minimizes soil and vacuum marks. Alongside this, the other advantage is the colour and texture offer more distinctive styling and fashion appeal than others.

When the choices of carpet are limited to basic beiges, designers look at the situation more as a blank canvas to build on when really the carpet should be the focal point of your room. With the vast amount of styles, textures, colours and themes, it is becoming more and more popular amongst interior designers to go away from boring beige.


Just to point out, the need for neutral carpets hasn’t gone away; it’s still a very popular choice. Unlike the plain hand woven carpets of the 1990s, today’s versions have a lot more textures and patterns. The variation in sculptured effects and height offers a bolder look and which offers a lot more to the room.

The trend with neutral carpets colours is to either have more texture, more patterns, and even flecks of colour that add some interest to any basic background. Colour sprinkled against a neutral background adds that dynamic of dimension whilst helping mask spots and spills. You will also see his technique used with the “new neutrals” which include: soft greens, pale yellows and the lighter shades of blue.
