While hardwood floors in every shade from natural to gray have been the rage over the past few years, home decorating trends are starting to include carpet as well. However, the shag carpet that may have graced your grandparents’ house doesn’t fly today. Instead, the carpet market is revitalized by the trends listed below.

3 Popular Carpet Trends for 2019

1. Reserved Colors

Scandinavian-inspired styles still have a stronghold in the interior design community, and they don’t show signs of slowing. Right now, soft blues and off-whites are among the most popular picks for carpet. For those who want more of eclectic flair, multi-colored carpets with asymmetrical patterns or robust geometric designs are also becoming popular.

2. Bold Patterns

Tiger print rugs may have been all the rage in an earlier era. And animal prints are making a resurgence, but they’re more subdued this time around. Soft speckled fawn and antelope prints do a great job at hiding dirt in high-traffic areas. For those with more colorful flair, large floral patterns and mismatched carpet tiles are a great way to make any room more fun.

3. Environmentally Friendly Options

Limiting the waste to landfills is a priority for many people, and luckily, there are some carpet options that can help you do that. Many types of carpet are being made from at least partially recycled material, but you can find options that are fully recycled—there are even carpet tiles made from reused plastic bottles. The natural fibers known as sisal are also being used in some carpets—they’re fully biodegradable and highly stain-resistant.

No matter what type of carpet suits your design niche, Thieman’s Carpet Company in Wentzville, MO, can help you find and install it. Want to stick with hardwood?
