Trends we see in carpet flooring


There's a good reason why carpeting is so popular. There's something for every lifestyle, budget, and decor.

The carpet is elegant and gives a feeling of warmth and coziness. It also reduces sound, provides safety from hard falls, and acts as a passive air filter.

Floors are no longer non-descript backgrounds. Today, flooring is all about creativity with eye-popping patterns, bold colors, and deeper and richer neutrals. Here's what you can expect to see these days.

Carpet textures


Texture sets a rug apart from the others. Texture creates different designs and can be visually attractive while staying soft underfoot.

Come into our carpet store to see the different styles from brands like Joy Carpets, Godfrey Hirst, and more. Some of the textures to watch are

1. Frieze: Here, the yarns are twisted so tightly they curl.

2. Cut and loop where fibers of all different lengths create pin dots, sculpted marble looks, geometrics, etc.

3. Plush means shortish fibers are packed densely. This is especially popular in cooler climates, like Canada!

Carpet tiles


It's not all about rolls of broadloom anymore. Also called modular squares, they come in various fibers and different sizes. However, 18" X 18" is the most popular size for this floor covering.

These colorful squares are great for bedrooms, playrooms, and basements. They have all the benefits of wall-to-wall, with design flexibility. Mix and match them to create your unique design.

Best of all, replace the damaged tile. Not the entire rug.

Color ranges


From earth-toned neutrals to vibrant, bold jewel tones. The colors blue and gray are considered "new neutrals."

Both coordinate easily with accessories and furnishings. Blue carpeting adds a little color while not overwhelming.
