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.

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

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(Image credit: Tai Ping/Beth Davis)
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
(Image credit: Bolon)
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.

From bold colours to sustainable sisal, here’s our guide to selecting the right carpet for your space
By Emma Love
ReForm A New Wave
It's official – carpet is cool again. But if you're overwhelmed by choice or struggling to picture anything other than an oatmeal square, you're certainly not alone. Our guide to the latest carpet trends covers patterns, textures and materials, with eight brilliant examples to inspire. First, let's go over the basics...
Woven or tufted?
The former is made from wool on a traditional loom; the latter uses different types of yarn and includes twist carpets, where the yarn is tightly wound to create a textured surface.
What's best for busy spaces?
The denser the fibre, the more durable it is – this is important for high-traffic areas.
A hard-wearing carpet should quickly spring back into shape when you walk on it.
Why shouldn't I scrimp on underlay?
Not only does it help retain the heat, it also acts as an extra layer of cushioning to protect your floor and will extend the lifespan of your carpet.
What should I consider when choosing colours?
Ask to take swatches home and place them in different parts of the room to see how they look as the light changes over the course of a day.

Skirting around

By painting the woodwork to match your carpet – and opting for taller skirting – it makes the floor space seamlessly flow upwards and appear larger than it is. Darker-hued designs anchor the room and make the walls above look lighter and more airy.

On the up

For a busy area such as the stairs, opt for a low-pile design. Made with smaller fibres and tightly woven loops, they have a smooth, flat surface, so any stains are easy to remove.
For similar, try ‘Sensation’ carpet in ‘Siberian Mink’, from £25 per sq m, Cormar Carpet Company, cormarcarpets.co.uk

Tread softly
Studio Pepe
Best suited to low-traffic areas of the home, such as the dining room and bedroom, a thick velvety carpet offers a plush, luxurious look – and feels super-soft underfoot, too.

Material matters
Alternative Flooring
Choosing an individual carpet for each room of your home allows you to mix up materials according to footfall. For instance, hard-wearing natural fibre sisal is ideal for high-traffic areas like the living room and hallway.

A hallway is one of the most used and functional spaces in a home and an obvious way to make it instantly more interesting is with a subtly patterned carpet.
Neat, uniform designs work best, such as this geometric ‘Quirky B Geo’ carpet in ‘Duck Egg’.

Floor art

Optical illusion
ReForm A New Wave
Make a patterned carpet the main feature of a room by keeping walls plain and neutral. Set the scale according to the size of a space: the larger the room, the larger the pattern.
This wavy line design by Ege adds an extra dimension by creating an optical illusion on the floor.

Carpets in a modern interior - the best design ideas from Twinstore
December 30, 2022
Even the most stylish room without a carpet seems unfinished, it lacks home warmth and comfort.
For several years, carpets were out of fashion interiors, but today they are again popular. And not only floor, but also wall!
Properly selected in color, shape, size, pile length, the carpet can become the main element of decor, emphasize the features of the interior style and make the room more comfortable. nine0003

Carpet types
There is no single generally accepted classification of carpet products, this is due to the fact that there are a lot of features for grouping. nine0003
By location, carpets are divided into floor and wall. They are similar in many ways - they are made using the same technologies, from the same materials.
In modern interiors, both types of carpets are used as a decorative element, a "chip" that emphasizes the taste of the owner.
According to the method of production, carpets are divided into 2 types: handmade carpets and those made using automated machines.
Elite carpets are created by hand from natural materials. Such products are not only beautiful and unique, but also durable. The service life of one carpet cloth can reach 200 years! nine0003
In the machine method of manufacturing, both natural and synthetic materials are used. Modern technologies make the production of carpets easy and fast. The cost of such products is much lower than that of piece copies made by hand.
According to the height of the pile, three types of carpets are distinguished:
-
short pile (pile length up to 5 mm) - as a rule, these are carpet paths. Easy to care for, practical. nine0003
-
medium pile (pile length 6-15 mm) - warm, durable carpets, quite easy to care for.
Suitable for living room, dining room, nursery. -
long pile (thread length from 16 to 100 mm) - the most comfortable models, fluffy and soft. Most often they are purchased for a bedroom or a children's room. Such products are quite whimsical in care.
According to the composition of the material, carpets are divided into natural and synthetic, often manufacturers combine several materials in one product.
Carpets made from natural materials are the most expensive, they can be woolen, silk, cotton, linen.
Woolen carpets are most often woven from sheep's wool; products from camel or goat are rare. They have a good texture and a long service life. However, they absorb all odors, are unstable to pollution, a carpet made of natural wool can be eaten by moths. The color range is quite modest, since wool is more difficult to dye than synthetic materials. nine0003
Cotton carpets are inferior to many materials in terms of durability, they do not tolerate moisture well.
Carpets only made of cotton are extremely rare, as a rule, wool is added to the composition. According to tactile sensations, such carpets are softer than wool and easier to care for.
Carpets made of natural silk are premium products, most often handmade using ancient technologies. Differ in softness, gentle natural gloss, a variety of coloring and patterns. They serve several generations, do not lose their qualities for 200-300 years. nine0003
Partially synthetic carpets (no more than 30% synthetics) are the most popular, due to their affordable price and good wear resistance.
Carpets made of synthetic materials are the cheapest and most durable. Well suited for places with heavy traffic: living room, hallway. Acrylic, nylon, polypropylene and other materials are used in the production.
Carpets made of polypropylene are similar to wool, but they are not afraid of moths, they have a low cost, a wide range of different shapes, colors and sizes, they are unpretentious in care and do not lose color saturation with regular cleaning.
nine0003
Acrylic carpets feel and look the same
resemble wool, but, unlike natural ones, do not cause allergies, almost
do not accumulate static electricity. Repels mold and moisture,
thanks to which they can be laid in the bathroom.
Carpet shapes and styles
On the market today are carpets of various shapes and sizes, from the usual geometric (circle, square, rectangle) to bizarre, consisting of several figures or having the silhouette of an animal, plant (such carpets are most often made for children's rooms). The choice of product is influenced by the area and shape of the room. So, a round carpet will look ridiculous in an elongated room, and a long and narrow carpet path will be lost in a spacious living room. nine0003
The most common form of carpets is rectangular. Such products are suitable for any rooms and interior styles. Recently, products with rounded corners have become popular, this prevents the corners from wrapping during the operation of the carpet.
Oval carpets used to be used mainly in the kitchen, but today the boundaries of their application have expanded. The absence of sharp corners and the streamlined shape of the product visually increase the space. Such a carpet will look good in a small living room, in the kitchen. All this is true for round-shaped carpets. nine0003
square carpet you should choose only for rooms of the correct shape, otherwise the non-ideal geometry of the room will be striking.
Whichever carpet you choose, remember an important rule: the greater the distance between the carpet and the furniture, the more spacious the room will seem.
small carpets do not make the center of attention, they are good in combination with large products. Can be used for zoning in a spacious living room, bedroom or library. nine0003
The chosen model of the carpet should be combined with the style of the room. Depending on the interior, these can be classic solutions or original design works.
Conventionally, by style, all carpets can be divided into several groups:
Classic. Products of this style can be seen in the paintings of famous artists of the past, in museums and luxurious modern mansions. Such carpets are characterized by complex, but precisely calibrated patterns in baroque, classicism, renaissance or modern styles. The color palette is chosen in accordance with the characteristics of the style and can be red, crimson, gold or pastel shades. Most often, classic carpets have a rectangular shape. nine0003
National styles (traditional) is a reflection of local traditions. Easily recognizable by their characteristic patterns: exquisite oriental (we are familiar with the patterns of the Middle East and Central Asia) or restrained European (Greece, Provence). The color palette can be anything, the ornament consists of floral or geometric patterns. Handmade models can be made in patchwork style (patchwork mosaic).
Ethnic style. It could be classified as national, but for us these products are more exotic and therefore stand out separately. Such carpets are made in India, Egypt, Morocco and other African countries. The color palette is most often red-brown with the addition of bright shades. All colors are as close to natural as possible. nine0003
Modern style. Fantasy and originality rule the ball here, however, most of the products have absorbed the signs of such styles as hi-tech, loft, fusion. The color scheme can be any. Patterns on modern carpets are abstract or geometric, floral ornaments have nothing in common with traditional carpets. Despite the variety of shades, we recommend choosing products that combine no more than three colors.

Contemporary wall hangings
Many consider wall carpets to be a relic of the past, an echo of Soviet times, but fashion is spiraling and wall carpets are back in trend.
Of course, today carpets on the walls are much less common, but with the right approach, a wall carpet will become a “chip” of your interior, emphasizing its courage, individuality and style. nine0003
It is almost impossible to imagine ethnic style without wall carpets, they make the interior more vivid, colorful, memorable. Wall hangings are also appropriate in vintage, classic, Scandinavian styles, in mixed eclectic interiors.
In an oriental-style interior, carpet combined with countless decorative cushions adds a touch of luxury to the interior.
A strict, restrained and minimalistic interior will become cozier and warmer, one has only to add a wall carpet. But do not forget that in high-tech and loft styles, only carpets in muted colors are appropriate. nine0003
The carpet can replace the head of the bed, opening up almost limitless possibilities for experimentation: vertical or horizontal arrangement, color scheme, pattern, attachment point, etc.
A huge plus of wall carpets is high heat and noise insulation.
Do not want to decorate the wall with a large carpet? Designers offer a great alternative - tapestries and panels. They can be interesting accent pieces. nine0003
Use a carpet, tapestry or panel to highlight only one area. It can be a headboard, a sofa, a chest of drawers, a desktop. So the carpet will not hide the space of the room and will fully cope with the role of decorative decoration.
If you decide to hang a carpet, pay attention to the fastening. You can safely use noticeable elements: massive chains, openwork forged brackets, cornices, decorative eyelets. This technique looks unusual, original and makes the interior stylistically safe. nine0003
Baguette decoration - Another interesting option for introducing a carpet into a modern interior. Small items can be stretched on a stretcher like a canvas or framed like a picture - a frame and a passe-partout.
When choosing a wall hanging, remember that the product quickly absorbs dust, so it needs to be cleaned regularly.
Interior carpet colors
The choice of color is influenced by the purpose of the room. If you do not focus on the style of the interior, then products of bright colors are suitable for living rooms and children's rooms, plain and neutral shades are suitable for the bedroom. nine0003
The contrast between the carpet and the floor looks interesting and bright. For example, a bleached oak floor looks good with products of warm shades, a dark floor will set off a carpet in light (white, milky, ivory) colors, a gray floor covering is in harmony with purple or cherry carpets.
If the carpet does not fit into the interior, but for some reason you do not want to part with it, add textiles with a similar color scheme. It can be curtains, decorative pillows, bedspreads. nine0003
For interiors that include wallpaper or furniture with intricate prints, choose a low-key carpet, best in a solid color, but a simple patterned option is also suitable.
The reverse rule is also true: pale upholstery and walls will be complemented by brighter, richer colors and complex ornaments on the carpet.
Often contrasting pieces or rugs with an unusual pattern draw attention away from other accessories and furniture, this solution is appropriate if you want to draw attention to the floor. nine0003

When matching tone Carpet or other accessories such as curtains or pillows in warm colors take the cold out of the room and create an abundance of energy. Extra warmth Blending can provide a sense of height. Use the darkest shade on the floor, the next shade on the walls and the lightest shade on the ceiling.

It reflects light and can be used to brighten up a dim room. Tones of orange, brown and golden brown are warm, cozy colors. Bright accents can liven up the main color scheme of neutral browns.
