Carpet trends 2022: stylish new looks for fabulous floors

(Image credit: Future)

There's something about carpet trends, with their cozy-chic, plush underfoot feeling, that wood just can't impart. And, while wooden flooring isn't going anywhere, carpet is making a comeback in a big – and very stylish – way. Looking into carpet trends 2022, it seems we will be expressing our creativity in bold, imaginative and innovative style.

'Carpet is a fantastic way of introducing color or pattern into the home,' says creative designer at Brintons, Jodie Hatton. 'The floor is no longer an afterthought. The entire room can be styled working from the floor up.' 

Some carpet trends are timelessly elegant – others require bravery, but will create an indulgent finish that's pure luxury.

Carpet trends 2022

From mixing bright and bold contrasting colors to fiery red tones, geometrics and intricate patterns, our 2022 carpet trend see self-expression as key. At the other end of the scale, the earthy, organic natural trend is set to endure throughout next year, bringing a calming landscape into our interior design schemes.

1. Patterned carpets are making a comeback

Until recently, carpets and rugs tended to be plain, neutral and for the bedroom only, but patterned carpets are now coming back into favor, and moving into the living room and dining room, too. In the right hands, patterned carpet designs are akin to introducing a work of art into a room and setting a strong design tone. Think of the floor as the room’s main canvas, says Lorna Haigh of Alternative Flooring . 

Lisa Conway of Brintons agrees: ‘We believe that a design scheme should start from the floor up, with the carpet being the basis for all the design choices,’ she says. ‘Pattern and color have been brought to the forefront to create a statement.’ 

A heavily patterned design is a bold decision, but if you love it, go for it, recommends Lisa. ‘It will withstand room renovations for years to come because you can pick out different colors and design details to carry through to the wider scheme. ’

2. Use a bold carpet in small rooms

2022 will be the year of color and creativity, so it is no surprise that a plethora of patterns will enter the design relm, but that is not to say that you can't use them in tiny homes. 

Patterned carpets work well in smaller spaces – perfect for your bedroom carpet ideas. Where a busy pattern on a wall might be overwhelming, introducing a pattern on the floor with a patterned rug or carpet can add interest without taking over the space. 

‘We often use boldly patterned or brightly colored carpets in small rooms or forgotten back stairs – they liven themselves up when you introduce something unexpected and strong,’ says interior designer Adam Bray.

In the past, patterned carpets were thought to be the preserve of pubs and hotels, favored for their ability to absorb stains and spillages rather than being a key design detail. These days, new designs are raising the game of wall-to-wall patterned carpets – witness these amazing carpet tiles from Bolon at Flooring Concepts.  

Designers are adept at creating carpets tiles and shapes that are akin to pieces of abstract art for the floor, so if you want the floor to be the room’s main canvas, these make a strong statement. Pull back on other decorative details if going down this route – interlocking patterns, Bridget Riley-esque stripes or edgy abstract graphics can hold a room on their own.

4. Look beyond the walls when it comes to color

‘Color in a carpet or rug lifts a scheme from the floor up, which is a room’s main canvas,’ says Lorna Haigh of Alternative Flooring. 

‘Soft duck egg blue is always popular, but we’re seeing more teals and blacks being used with popping accents.’ Hallway carpet ideas offer an opportunity to be adventurous. ‘People want to create an impact here, so bright hues, such as pink and lime green, and strong patterns are a large part of our collections,’ says Andy Guard of Roger Oates Design .

5.

Lay down smart stripes

A smart stripe – whether wide or narrow – is a classic pattern that will visually elongate and widen a room, just as floorboards do. Striped floor coverings began to be introduced into homes about 10 years ago in a rather tentative way when the first collections arrived on the market.

Appreciated for their dirt-defying nature, stripes were initially confined to high-traffic areas, such as stairs, but their appeal is now spreading. Taking inspiration from the fabric world where stripes are everywhere, flooring has now caught up and offers a far greater choice of designs than ever before.

Staircase carpet ideas featuring stripes make a design statement as soon as you enter a house, but it needn’t be limited to this area. More people are finding the confidence to play with different breadths and scales throughout the house, from broad to ticking and pencil stripes.

Wall-to-wall broad stripes work well for living room carpet ideas and people are much more willing to experiment with breadth and scale. You can layer elements on top to soften the look, while still maintaining a bright and colorful feel to the space.

6. Create a sense of calm with a neutral option

If you adore minimalism you will be pleased to know that decorating with neutrals are very much here to stay. 

Choosing a carpet in a classic base note will bring a sense of calm to your living room ideas. A neutral shade is a wise investment too, as its versatility and longevity add value to your property. It will also make co-ordinating the flooring in different rooms a breeze – with a neutral palette, everything goes – enabling you to combine plains and subtle patterns, while keeping a consistent flow throughout the house.

7. Warm up with a pink and red color scheme

Sensuous shades, from spicy chilli through to lush berry tones, will make a bold but beautiful statement in your home. A high-footfall area, such as a hallway or living room, is the ideal place to introduce a classic pattern, as it can help to disguise the effects of everyday wear. Choose hall and living room furniture with elegant lines and keep the rest of the scheme simple, so the floor provides all the impact.

Is carpet coming back in style for 2022?

Carpet is making a welcome comeback for 2022. Whichever room you are decorating, it’s worth making a fuss of the floor. In a living room, we recommend a statement rug or carpet. Not only will it ground the room but it can serve as the starting point from which to build the scheme. It’s a worthwhile investment, and your feet will thank you come winter. 

‘Fitted carpet gives a feeling of luxury; a small repeat pattern can ground a room and add interest without taking over, while bolder ones will add dimension and focus,’ says Kit Kemp, design director, Firmdale Hotels.

How to choose carpet

Jodie Hatton, Residential Designer at Brintons advises: 'It’s key to have the intended use of the room at the forefront of your mind when choosing carpet. What kind of feel do you want to create? How will the room be used? Is the space a reception area where you want to make a statement? Or a room you want to use as a retreat creating a calming and relaxed feel? Having that decision at the forefront of your mind as you choose your carpet will help to guide you towards the perfect choice for your space. '

Which carpet is best for which room?

'Bolder statement patterns always tend to lend themselves well to hallways, stairs and landing spaces as these tend to be high traffic areas. As these areas aren’t "lived in" as such they also lend themselves to creating more of a design statement, as there is a limited amount of space for furniture,' continues Jodie Hatton.

'The feel of a room is important and a very personal choice, as a successful interiors scheme will reflect elements of our personality. Some will want a calming, relaxing bedroom to retreat to whilst others may want to opt for more of a boudoir feel. Carpets to consider for a relaxing room would be a neutral plain. However, for ultimate luxury and a plush feel – take a look at a velvet option.'

19 carpet trends to decorate your home with in 2023

Not so long ago, the only carpet trends we could think of is rip them up or cover them with a rug. It's true, carpets have got a bit of a bad rep in the world of interiors, but we are feeling a comeback and 2023 looks like the year. 

With the mood of decor firmly set to cosy glamour right now - that's spaces you can slip your shoes off but still feel smart while in - carpet has never felt more right for now. But when it comes to interior design trends, forget the classic flecked wall-to-wall, and instead think checkerboard, decorative borders and vast circling shapes. A carpet going all the way to the edge of a room? You'll hardly see that here. 

'Carpet is making a serious comeback in part I think to the turbulent times we all have been going through and thus we are looking at ways to bring comfort into our homes,' says the designer Abigail Ahern. 'And there's nothing like carpet to make rooms feel cosier and more sumptuous than ever.' 

'With its plush underfoot feeling and some intoxicating patterns and colors, it's no longer an afterthought and a key component in bringing rooms together.  There are so many ways to embrace carpet from embracing its texture (choose a prominent weft or tuft) to using it as the perfect base in which to layer a complementary rug. From natural materials like wool, jute and sisal to luxurious chunky loops offering luxury underfoot to super bold and expressive patterns and colors.'

What are the carpet trends for 2023?

Now don't run away just yet. We aren't talking a return to shag carpets and eccentric 70s patterns. Carpets come in much chicer forms, from natural textures like jute and sisal which are perfect for more modern rustic styles, to luxury deep pile carpets in lush jewel tones that can transform a bedroom, there's plenty here to convince your carpets are back in style.

1. Bold colors

According to many designers, carpet is the new paint and by opting for bright and vivacious hues it adds a wow-factor to the home - a key focus of current color trends. 

For those who might be wary of adding in such a statement, choose a tone which complements the wall colours to ensure the look remains cohesive. For maximalists, opt for a contrasting colour to ensure it remains a feast for the eyes!

2. Decorative Borders

(Image credit: Jennifer Manners)

Creating a bespoke carpet is a way in which designers are adding a unique touch to spaces and homes. When laying a carpet on top of a wooden or tiled floor (a key look when it comes to flooring trends), leaving a small gap around the edge allows it to stand out and gives space for a decorative border to be added.  

Interior designers Salvesen Graham and Jennifer Manners added a scalloped border to this carpet in a recent completed project and we love how it contrasts, yet complements, the cabinetry alongside it.

3. Soft Lilacs

While grey carpets have always been a safe choice within both colorful and monochromatic interiors, choosing a pastel shade such as lilac is a lovely alternative and helps to avoid the interior space looking too drab. Pairing it with shades currently being seen in living room trends like darker wine hues or even warm greens and yellows can create a joyful ambience and the perfect base for an influx of color through furniture and accessories. 

Textile designer and colorr alchemist Margrethe Odgaard’s new colour palette for Ege Carpets includes this soft lilac shade which adds a gentle sensory experience to the room. Ege Carpets’ designs are also made from regenerated and regenerable yarn.

4. Recycled Materials

In an urgent bid to change industry habits, designers are turning to waste to contribute to a circular economy and shift perceptions on materials. Taking a circular approach to design is key in taking accountability for products being made and 

Nanimarquina is helping to raise awareness around the issue with a new collection of rugs being made from the leftover wool generated by its suppliers. Following a long research process, the brand has developed a way to use leftover wool scraps to create a new yarn that is suitable for weaving. 

The collection is available in standard and bespoke sizes – a great option for rental homes where adding a wall-to-wall carpet may not be an option and a large rug, slightly smaller than the room dimensions, is the perfect way to nod to current living room color trends and add warmth and comfort. 

5. Classic stripes

The timeless appeal of striped patterned carpets is still a firm favorite for many designers today. Giving structure to a space, stripes help to bring a variety of tones and shades into a scheme. Stripes work particularly well in a bedroom, being impactful enough to feel a little interesting but able to be subtle enough so they still create a restful space.

We are seeing striped carpets being used alongside other striped textiles which works well when the stripes are placed in contrasting directions. Opt for wider stripes and repeats to keep the look modern, in keeping with current bedroom trends, and less traditional.

6. Checkerboard patterns

As seen in accessories, textiles and other categories across the interiors world, the checkerboard fashion has reached carpets and rugs and we’re obsessed! As showcased in this recent project by interior designers Barlow & Barlow, it creates a perfect base from which to build an interior scheme and can be styled both in minimalist and maximal environments. 

“Checkerboard is a timeless pattern and works well in traditional and contemporary schemes,” comments Lucy Barlow, Creative Director at Barlow & Barlow . “It is a great opportunity to play with colour as you tend to use a more neutral colour to ground it whilst incorporating a bolder colour or two.”

Etsy has an amazing selection of checkerboard carpets, from slim runners to large rugs in a variety of colors. Look at all Etsy's checkerboard carpets here .

7. Carpet Artwork for the Wall

While conventionally we think of carpets for the floor, designers are rethinking concepts by applying carpets and rugs as dramatic works of art for the wall. Alluding to eras gone by, where large-scale tapestries would hang in great halls and drawing rooms, this is being reinterpreted for contemporary schemes, a smart way to soften living rooms and make them seem like they're cosseting you. 

Displayed here by carpet manufacturer Pinton , in a recent collaboration with French architect Fanny Rozé, this application brings a touch of grandeur and opulence to the space and is perfect for period properties with higher ceilings and complementing architectural details.  

8. Curvaceous Forms

Taking inspiration from architectural and structural configurations, many carpet and rug designers are incorporating curves and rounded silhouettes not only into their shape but also within the patterns themselves. 

Proving to be popular with interior designers and architects, curvaceous lines bring contrast to more angular furniture choices helping to soften a scheme entirely. As shown here by artisanal carpet manufacturers Tai Ping , such patterns can bring joy and atmosphere into the home. 

9. Contemporary Carpet Tiles

Associated with corporate premises and hospitality spaces, carpet tiles have been deemed a functional solution by many. However, designers are helping us to reimagine them in residential settings with new materials, unique shapes and energetic colours bringing them to life and offering a practical solution when laying over existing floors.  

Also, thanks to companies like Tarkett and Bolon , recycling carpet tiles is now being made possible through innovation and technology. Carpet tiles in contrasting colours can be a simple way of incorporating the on-trend checkerboard pattern into a space too! 

10. Sunny yellow hues and bold trims

(Image credit: Fibre)

Carpets are not just wall-to-wall anymore, and often take up only seven eighths of a room (no, that doesn't make it an area rug, trust us). What this means is you get the opportunity to add a trim, meaning bold color combos make their way dashingly into this year's trends. 

Nowhere is this more prevalent than the new Contemporary Collection by Country Homes & Interiors for Fibre . In bright yellow, and with a sky blue trim, it is a true burst of decorative happiness. 

'Yellow is such a sunny and uplifting color, and brings a real hit of joy to a room,' says Andrea Childs, editor of Country Homes & Interiors, who developed the range. 'It could be a single bold statement in a neutral scheme, or paired with another strong tone such as deep blue or green. I love the deep ochre of Gorse in The Contemporary Collection from Country Homes & Interiors x Fibre collection. If all-over yellow is too much, consider using it as an accent shade on the edge of a runner or rug.'

11. Natural materials

(Image credit: Fibre)

Perhaps the most on-trend, and definitely most popular carpet trend, is natural fiber rugs, materials like jute, sisal and seagrass. Jute rugs grace the floors or so many homes due to their hardwearing nature and versatility, so just take it a step further and go wall to wall with it. The simplicity of this look is similar to hardwood floors, you still get that organic style and plenty of texture but just with a little more softness underfoot. Plus, going simple with your carpet means you can layer rugs on top, ticking off another big trend for 2022. Use simple sisal as a backdrop for bold colors and patterns.

'Wall-to-wall carpets should be chosen wisely and these days there are plenty of cool choices that don't feel like your mom's silver-white/plush carpet.' says Jen, found of design studio Interior Fox . 

'We tend to choose a patterned wool or natural fiber like sisal or seagrass. Wool is probably easier to clean while sisal is just stunning. (You have to use a dry powder to clean liquids). Look for a subtle pattern like herringbone or a checkered to avoid making it look cheap!'

Top tip: 'While they are aesthetically attractive and relatively hardwearing, they can stain easily and even water alone can cause a permanent stain or watermark. However, there are some excellent synthetic alternatives that look the part and can be wiped clean.' advises Saskia Howard, Creative Director, Howark Design . So if considering a natural carpet for a high traffic area like a hallway or staircase, don't rule out synthetic options. They can really effectively replicate the texture of the real thing.

12. Heritage prints for stairs

From one extreme to another, carpet trends for 2022 aren't all about just dipping your toe in with a nice neutral shade. Bold colors and prints have been on the rise these past two years and this want to embrace the maximalist aesthetic is reflected in the wonderful and macky carpets prints we've been seeing recently. Case in point this fabulous blue number – yes it's slightly reminiscent of something from the 70s but the blue scheme gives in a modern twist and paired with the pretty pink wallpaper the whole look really works. 

'We just put carpet into our own bedroom in our home. We’ve lived with stripped original floorboards for a few years and are now in the mood for some softness and warmth, not just because it’s feeling autumnal but because we want our bedroom to feel more layered and soft.' explains Russell Whitehead of 2LG Studio . 

'The right carpet can have longevity and add a layer of comfort to a space. Don’t be afraid of a patterned carpet or a color. If you are going to go for carpet then we say really go for it. Whether you love a monochrome minimalist scheme with wrap-around color or a more maximalist approach with clashing patterns on walls and floor, carpet offers many options to fit your scheme and we are here for it.'

And if you are wary of going bold with your carpet choices, start by experimenting with smaller areas, like staircase carpets which are relatively low commitment as they are simple to install and switch up. 

13. Mixed finishes 

(Image credit: James Merrell)

But not all carpet patterns need be bold, we are seeing a real trend towards carpets that incorporate more subtle designs that stick to a simple color palette but add interest with a mix of finishes. 

See in this bedroom carpet idea the base material is a simple flat woven design, with a lovely natural texture, then to give a touch of something more luxurious, a delicate abstract print in a softer, deeper pile creates a beautiful subtle print.  

14. Multi-color carpets that pick up hues elsewhere

(Image credit: James Merrell)

In the same vein as being bolder in our design choices, a big trend not just in the carpet world but interiors, in general, is decorating with a small color palette but really sticking to those selectedhues. Case in point with the living room carpet idea here. Rather than thinking about floor treatments last, this carpet was the jumping-off point for the look of the entire room, so fall for a carpet first and let that dictate the rest of the space. 

Matthew Williamson also advocates that the floor is the easy starting point. 'One of the best places to start when bringing color and pattern into the home is with a floor covering, setting the tone and anchoring the rest of the space. A beautiful carpet can give you a palette or a sounding board for the rest of the room. You could pick out specific colors from the weave and take them onto the walls, into the soft furnishings, and even up onto the ceiling for a dramatic look. You could also experiment with pattern, pairing a leopard print with a striking floral wallpaper or sofa.'

15. Color blocking

(Image credit: Jon Day)

Color blocking has taken many different forms over the last few years, but it comes up season after season in interior trends. Going bold on the walls isn't for everyone, and it's certainly not for every space, but taking that braver mix of hues onto the floor is a much more subtle and exciting way to embrace this ever-popular trend.

'Color blocking on the floor seems scary, as carpet is harder to change than accessories,' says Livingetc editor Pip Rich. 'But if you stick to pastel shades, like in this image above, then the overall effect is much softer than you might expect.'

16. Tartan

(Image credit: Brintons)

Tartan is a bit a marmite print, people tend to either love it or hate it but we think there's a case for bringing that traditional country pattern into more minimalistic interiors which can really update the look. You can still benefit from that lovely cozy feel that's synonymous with print but try pairing it with modern shapes and minimal clutter as can be seen in this dining room. 

'We’ve seen an increase in desire for cozy, warming patterns too like tartans and stripes. Town or country, period or modern, tartans look striking in any room and can be used to bring a color scheme or theme together.' explains Jodie Hatton, Design Manager at Brintons . 'Exceptionally hard-wearing and versatile with a timeless aesthetic, they make the perfect recommendation for any room.”

And don't just stick with the classic hues of mossy greens and browns, there are so many more exciting tartan colorways available that feel fresh and contemporary. Even just the hint of pale blue in this carpet gives the floor a lift.

17. 3D textures 

(Image credit: Menu)

While deep, textured carpets might feel reminiscent of the, hopefully never to return again, shag carpet, there are more stylish ways to do 3D textures. For on trend look choose a thick, high pile wool carpet where you can really see the loops. If you like more neutral living room ideas this is a good option to go for as you can keep the color muted and let the texture add the interest. 

'The texture of the carpet is key to preventing a neutral scheme from looking dull. An alternative flooring like wood or tiles can make a room feel stark and bare, whereas a soft woven wool carpet, layered with accessories in cashmere, mohair, and linen will all work to soften a look and create an inviting scheme.' says Lisa Conway of Brintons.

So don't just stop at the carpet, bring that lovely nubbly texture into the rest of the room too with your soft furnishings, throws, and cushions. And to prevent it from all looking a bit slubby, contrast that softness with hard materials and clean lines, as can be seen here with the marble coffee table. 

18. Earthy toned carpets

(Image credit: Carpetright)

While carpet trends are showing that we can be going bolder with our colors and prints, there's also a strong trend for using carpets for their most renowned quality – adding warm, cocooning, comforting vibes to a room. And this coziness is only enhanced with toasty, earthy tones. These rich terracotta and ochre shades are ideal for bringing in deeper hues to a neutral space without overwhelming those softer, paler shades. 

'The ever-popular and easy to live with greige, beige, and natural earthy tones, which have been so popular for rugs and carpets this year, can be paired with warm, deep hues to add richness of tone while maintaining the calm spaces we still crave.' explains Lynn Llewellyn-Jones, color consultant for fibre . 'Add rich shades of terracotta (Italian for burnt earth), deep Ochres; a naturally occurring pigment in clay and sophisticated and richly pigmented pinks to continue the natural theme while adding great warmth and depth to your scheme.'

'These colors make us feel grounded and secure, optimistic and energetic; ready for a new year, a room refresh or simply to lift us up after a long period of uncertainty. We are set to see more complementary ‘mix and match’ flooring where toning colors are used across multiple rooms to offer a varied yet cohesive feel to the flooring. Using this coordinated variety between runners, stairs, living rooms and bedrooms rather than the same flooring throughout the home can make a subtle statement and allows us to control a flow of energy for different moods in different rooms.'

19. Match a carpet to the walls

(Image credit: James Merrell)

Carpets are all about creating that lovely cocooning feel, and matching your carpet to your wall color is only going to enhance that enveloping feel. This cohesive trend work really well with darker colors and in smaller spaces as it almost blurs the edges of the room, merging floor and wall and alluding to a larger room.

However, neutral lovers, this look also works with those soft, warm, calming tones that are a huge color trend at the moment. See how in this bedroom, that welcoming peachy tone runs from the walls to the soft plush carpet which not only creates an instantly calming vibe, the neutral backdrop allows the furniture and the colors throughout the rest of the room to be bolder.  

So are carpets back in style?

The question we have also admittedly been considering up until right now. But yes, we can safely say that after speaking with designers and trend spotters, carpets do seem to be back in style if done right. So if you are considering giving up that bare floorboard life, go for it and use these carpet trends as inspiration.

fashion trends 2022 on the floor in the interior, beautiful designer and luxury models in the modern style

Modern interiors are very popular nowadays. Every year, the number of types of design only increases, offering new and unusual solutions for arranging your home. Carpet manufacturers try to keep up with the times and offer fashionable products in a modern style.

Features

Today, the carpet production process is more automated. Most carpets are made using modern technology. Although there are modern options that are the result of manual work.

They differ in design, because experts offer both solid colors and models with intricate patterns or ornaments. Modern carpet products attract attention with a variety of sizes. You can purchase a model of standard dimensions or order a carpet according to individual parameters. Manufacturers offer both small and large format models.

Various forms are found among modern models. The standard choice is the options for a rectangular or rounded structure, but the variety does not end there, but only begins. Designers do not limit the flight of fantasy, which has a positive effect on the range of carpets.

Colors also play a big role. Among modern products, you can choose the option that fits perfectly into the interior of the room, and also emphasizes its dignity. Multi-colored models are in great demand. Custom carpets have amazing visual effects.

Do not forget about the composition of carpets, since the main characteristics of the product, its wear resistance, service life, care features and practicality depend on the material. Modern manufacturers often use artificial materials or combine them with natural ones. The latter option has a positive effect on the practicality of the product. The most expensive and high quality items are handmade from high quality materials.

Varieties

Modern variety of stylish models of designer carpets will not leave anyone indifferent. A wide range allows you to choose an exquisite and unusual option to complement interior design in various styles. Today, carpets are made using modern technologies. Elite products are often handmade, which gives them charm and luxury.

To see examples of such products, type in the search: Modern carpets ansy carpet.

All modern carpets can be divided into two large groups - wall and floor:

How to choose?

When choosing a carpet, you should start from the style direction of the interior of the room, as well as its purpose. For example, for a living room or bedroom, an option in delicate, pastel colors is ideal. Gray products look beautiful on the floor in the hall. This color solution looks harmonious in various technological interiors that have elements of minimalism.

If you decide to decorate the wall, then you should pay attention to carpets with expressive patterns and color combinations. Constant solutions look nice.

If the buyer is interested in patterns and effects, then a carpet decorated with 3D ornaments or artificially aged pieces is an ideal choice. Such varieties are an excellent find for true connoisseurs of beauty. They allow you to show an individual vision of the interior of the room.

The appearance of the carpet usually expresses the needs of the owners of the apartment. For the living room, where guests are often received, options with a long pile are often purchased. They are characterized by softness and an increased level of comfort. Often in spacious living rooms they get large carpets that cover the entire floor. In this case, a soft and stylish product acts as a bright accent of any style direction.

When choosing a fashionable carpet for a bedroom, you should take into account the shape of the bed, the color scheme of textiles. For coziness and comfort, a model with a long pile is an excellent choice. It is pleasant to walk barefoot on such a rug.

For safety and warmth in the bathroom, it is worth buying a small rug. Models for such rooms are equipped with an anti-slip coating.

Which products are in fashion?

Designers offer stylish rugs in bold contrasting colors among the latest trends and trends. Exquisite products are presented in rich red, blue and orange shades.

According to experts, models in gothic colors or neutral shades are very popular in the new season. Gray-brown carpet looks natural. It will fit perfectly into any interior of the room.

It is worth paying attention to the texture trend when choosing a carpet in a modern style. A product that conveys the texture of a wood board, metal sheet, stone path or leather covering will never go out of style.

This option looks great in combination with plank flooring or laminated panels.

Sizes and shapes

Modern models are available in various sizes. You can choose a model of small dimensions or an option that almost completely covers the floor covering. If you buy a carpet of the right size, then it will allow you to complete the design of the room and become the final element of the interior. With the help of a small rug, you can zoning the room or focus on the functional purpose of the room.

When choosing the size of the rug, consider the size of the room. Do not put heavy furniture on it, as this will lead to dents.

Do not fold or wrinkle the carpet. The product should be no closer than 10 cm to the skirting boards.

The smaller models are usually between 50 cm and one meter wide. Their length can vary from 80 to 140 cm. As a rule, they are purchased to be placed near the bed or to highlight a certain area, for example, such a carpet can be placed near the sofa.

For decorating a kitchen or hallway, rugs with a length of 1 to 4.8 m and a width of 1 to 2 m are ideal.

Medium-sized carpets are the most sought after. Their length can reach 6 m, and the width varies from 2 to 3 m. The most popular indicator is 3x2 m. This option is ideal for decorating living rooms.

Modern manufacturers also produce very large carpets. They can reach a width of up to 7 m and a length of up to 11 m. They usually completely cover the floor covering.

Modern models come in a variety of shapes. Available in oval, rectangular, round or square shape. The variant of the wrong structure looks interesting and attractive. Oval or rectangular items are ideal for embodying a classic style. For an interior in a modern style direction, an excellent choice would be a product of an unusual and original shape. The lines of the carpet can be smooth, arched or zigzag.

When choosing the type of carpet, it is worth considering the desire for sustainability. The eco-style model can be any and have different contours.

Materials

Today, most buyers are focused on eco-style. Naturalness is a very important criterion for choosing a carpet. Cotton is in great demand. Such a product is characterized by practicality and hypoallergenicity. A cotton rug is often purchased for a nursery or bathroom. Its only drawback is its high cost.

An excellent alternative to a cotton rug is silk or wool. Such options are characterized by tactile comfort, and also have a delightful appearance.

Styles

Modern carpets look irresistible and stylish in a variety of styles.

Designs, colors and patterns

Models of modern style carpets surprise with the number of different colors and patterns. Original options allow you to diversify the interior design, become its highlight or bright accent. Designers offer a wide range of monochrome options. They always look advantageous, because they are characterized by versatility.

Abstract print rugs are a good choice for a contemporary style or for a high-tech room design. The geometric patterns of such products surprise with their variety.

Models with natural and animal motifs in the pattern allow you to refresh the room, bring new notes and colors to the interior. A rug that imitates green grass looks attractive. The image of the animal is also often used to decorate carpets. Such a product will definitely become a highlight of the interior.

Manufacturers

Stylish modern carpets are produced by companies in many countries around the world.

Products from Italian manufacturers are in great demand:

Textile elements in the interior of the living room create a cozy, warm atmosphere. These include bedspreads, blankets, pillows and, of course, carpets. You need to choose a carpet for the hall taking into account many nuances - from the shape of the room or recreation area to the design style, color and material.

Fluffy, woolen, braided, plain, colored, rectangular, round or figured - such details decorate the interior, set accents in the composition, create a pleasant atmosphere. Modern carpets in the living room - a wide range of models, the choice of which depends on the design of the room, personal preferences, rules of harmony.

How to choose the perfect carpet for your living room

A variety of styles, shades and patterns allows you to find organic details for furnishing in any direction of design.

Before choosing the right carpet for the living room floor, you need to determine the following parameters:

The combination of characteristics completes the harmonious composition in the interior.

What size should be the carpet in the living room

The dimensions of the carpet directly depend on the availability of free space and furniture in the room. Living room carpets are chosen primarily to cover an empty floor. This is an economical and most decorative solution. You can lay carpet under the furniture legs - it is chosen in a modern living room for functional, simple interiors. Such a coating is not applicable in a retro or rustic design.

Traditionally, carpets in the interior of any living room occupy an area proportional to the room. A tiny piece of textile looks ridiculous in a huge room, so it becomes obvious how to choose the size of the carpet for the living room - large models for spacious rooms and vice versa. The main thing is that people sitting on the sofa or armchairs can put their feet up and feel the warmth of the cover, and not look at it from the side.

The size of the carpet should be proportional to the amount of furniture around it, it also depends on what format zoning is used, accents in the living room - that is, the role that is assigned to the textile cover.

It can repeat the shape of a recreation area in a combined space, contrast with the main design or be in the same tone with it, form an integral composition with other items - upholstered furniture. For example, a rectangular carpet in the living room, laid next to the corner sofa, makes its shape correct, organic, complete, so it looks like a single whole.

If several functional areas are formed in the hall, small rugs, perhaps even of different shapes, will do. These can be the same models - with the same pattern, in the same shade, or completely different - for accents and zoning.

Large carpets in the living room are chosen if the room is empty enough - equipped with built-in wardrobes, furnished only with upholstered furniture, TV, possibly a fireplace. Usually here floor textiles occupy a fairly large space. The main thing is that there should not be a feeling of excessive filling of the room. The most successful combination would be a large carpet with a fine pile or, conversely, a fluffy modern carpet on the floor in a laconic design of the hall, but of an oval or round shape of a small size.

Of course, there is no definite answer to the question of what size the carpet in the living room should be. Just remember that textured elements effectively fill the space, so their number should be proportional to the dimensions of the room.

Shape: which carpet is better to choose for the living room

Traditional rectangular models have lost their relevance - today oval, round carpets, trendy irregular shapes, which look original on the floor in the interior of the living room, but they clearly indicate the seating area in the hall (as in the photo below). It is easy to arrange armchairs or small sofas around such elements, to form a place for communication and relaxation.

When choosing which carpet is best for the living room of your apartment, you need to remember that such a detail can change the parameters of the room. For example, a square balances disproportionate sides - the room is too long and narrow, but it is important to choose the right size here. A long carpet path, on the contrary, will make the hall narrower, which will be useful for square rooms with not the best arrangement of windows and doors. The oval shape works the same way.

If the living room is too large, it should be divided into several zones, which can be done visually with several trendy rugs of different sizes and shapes.

Solid flooring, such as carpet, as already mentioned, is not appropriate for every living room. It actually acts as a floor covering, like linoleum, laminate, boards, does not place accents and does not change the geometry of the room. Before choosing a carpet for the living room, you only need to determine the color.

Texture: what material to choose a carpet for the hall

The chosen material for the carpet for the hall should meet not only the budget, but also the operating conditions - artificial textiles will be more resistant to aggressive factors, direct sunlight, washing. But natural fibers are more comfortable, safe, especially for children, they retain heat well. The choice in their favor must be made if there is a tiny baby in the house who is just learning to crawl.

Fluffy living room rugs are often chosen for rooms that need to be made visually and actually warmer, most often this is required by northern rooms. It is better to choose such textiles from natural fibers - wool or cotton. It is worth remembering that a long pile is an additional accent, so a pattern on such a coating is not needed.

You can only experiment with a shade, but it all depends on the style of decoration and the palette of the room. But natural coatings with a long pile are quite difficult to care for, and their cost is quite high. Another distinctive feature of woolen carpets on the floor is the absence of bright colors, which is also noticeable in the photo of the hall, since natural pile does not absorb coloring compositions well. But this disadvantage is compensated by the long-term preservation of color, because such shades do not fade, do not lose their saturation.

Silk models and mats are also natural. The former usually decorate the walls, the latter - the floor of the kitchen, bathroom, hall, decorated in country style, Provence, etc.

Which carpet to choose in a modern living room: choosing according to the shade of decoration and furniture

As a rule, carpets and floor textiles are practically not used in modern modern interiors. The exception is carpet - in a living room with a modern setting, it is appropriate due to its uniformity and uniform pile. Abstract patterns are also suitable if the interior contains similar details. Most tech designs favor underfloor heating, but no textile coverings.

Stylish products cover the living room floors in different styles - carpets have a variety of and sometimes unimaginable shapes, different shades and their combinations, exceptional patterns and ornaments.

Or it will merge with the decoration of the room.

The carpet on the floor of the living room can be chosen according to the color of the floor wooden flooring or natural stone or in contrast with it - in the same tone with the decor. Here you can lay models in other shades - burgundy, dark blue or emerald textiles.

But in such an environment, light canvases with a large rosette pattern, which are placed by other accents, are appropriate. They look stylish with dark furniture, so it is better to choose a carpet in such a living room in contrast, whatever the color of the interior items.
