The demand for carpet and rugs continues to climb even though they often take a back seat to hardwood and tile flooring. The US demand for carpet and rugs is expected to reach 14.6 billion square feet this year.
It’s 2019 and the rules for wall-to-wall carpeting have changed.
What are the latest wall to wall carpet trends? What’s the most popular carpet? Can you expect to see new bedroom carpet trends?
Are planning a refresh on your interior?
Possibly changing up your paint colors and carpeting? You’ll want to be up on the latest wall to wall carpeting trends. Here’s a peek at what you can do with your home.
Wall to Wall Carpeting Trends
Gone are the days of basic plush beige carpeting. The new carpet trends are incorporating new designs and textures.
Frieze Carpet
This shag rug-inspired carpet has a curly texture to it. Each piece of the carpet is twisted to achieve this look.
The twisted fibers are thinner than the strands in shag carpeting. The fibers are also longer giving it a thinner, whimsical look.
Frieze is highly durable because of its high twist. The strands flop over keeping the tips from being exposed to foot traffic.
Another plus for frieze carpeting is its ability to hide seams very well. If you have a large room that is wider than the carpet roll, you can breathe easy because it comes together perfectly–no trace of a seam!
Family rooms, stairs, hallways, and bedrooms are the perfect places for one of the most popular carpet styles.
Carpet Tiles
If you have kids and/or pets, you’ll want to hug the genius behind one of the best trends in carpeting. Carpet tiles are just that…individual tiles of carpet that you can place wall to wall in your room.
If one area of the carpet gets stained or damaged, you are not replacing an entire room of carpet. Just remove the damaged tile and replace it with a new one. Voila!
You can even install these yourself because many of them are peel and stick! You’ll also find a wide variety of colors and textures that can be mixed and matched.
These are ideal for a basement, especially the waterproof options!
Gelato Colors
Gelato-inspired colors are showing up on finer floors in designer portfolios. The colors are soft and look nice with heavier furniture pieces and darker colors.
Look for these muted colors when designing a room in your home. They are classic and subtle and will not go out of style.
Waterproof Carpet
This might be the greatest thing since sliced bread! Just think of all the traditional worries with carpet flying right out of your head!
No more soaking up of wine, grape juice or pet accidents! No moldy, water-stained carpet! Any liquid can be cleaned up immediately without soaking in.
As you can imagine, it’s a bit pricey right now because it’s such a new concept.
