Whilst hardwood flooring is still incredibly popular, carpets are making a huge comeback in 2021.
With hundreds of colour, print and textures to choose from, there are plenty of options now available enabling you to find something to suit you and your home.
Carpet is a great choice for bedrooms or lounges, where laminate and wooden flooring can feel cold and unwelcoming. Carpets will provide warmth and add texture to your space.
If you’re considering a carpet, here are some up and coming ideas for 2021
Stripes
Striped carpets are a popular choice. They come in a variety of styles, colours and striped patterns. They are suitable for any room in the home, but especially popular on staircases and in hallways as they make a bold statement as you enter the home.
There are two main types of striped carpets to choose from, a neutral based striped carpet or a bright showstopper striped carpet, both can be used in the home depending on the look you are going for. Neutral striped carpets can be used as a base to the rest of your decor and will fit in with colour changes to your room over the years.
A bold and bright coloured striped carpet is sure to make an impact in your home and make it interesting, however, you may find that you are limited with colour schemes should you wish to change in a few years.
Either way, a striped carpet is great as it will hide any stains, perfect if you have children or pets.
Natural fibre
Natural fibre carpets are the perfect choice for those looking to bring nature into their homes. Natural fibre carpets are ideal for areas such as living rooms and bedrooms, as they are hardwearing and stand up well to heavy traffic. Sisal and seagrass are not recommended for use on stairs, though, as they can become slippery, but are great for all other areas of the home.
With many different weaves to choose from, as well as different shades and colours; natural plant fibres will provide a subtle palate to set off your home décor.
Animal print
If you’re looking to make a bold choice to your home’s décor this year, why not take a walk on the wide side and choose animal print.
Not just your usual leopard print, animal print is now available in a variety of colours and patterns than ever before. These exotic textiles will add warmth to your home whilst giving it a chic look.
If you don’t feel brave enough to cover an entire floor in animal print, why not opt for a bold animal print runner or rug into your home design. Not only will it create a high impact but will also work as a focal point in a room.
Plaid carpet
It may not be an obvious choice, but plaid carpets are making a huge comeback. If you are looking for a plaid/tartan carpet for you home, you now have a huge choice to select from. Unlike traditional tartan which can be a garish red, you will find that plaid now comes in muted and neutral versions which may suit your style more.
If you have a Scottish connection you could have a tartan that matches your clan or family in which case a quick search online will be able to give you the name of your tartan and you can see if you like the colours and weave.
