Year after year, carpeting trends change and vary; it never fails. Are you keeping up with them?
If you haven’t gotten your carpet changed in 10 years, that just means that your carpeting might be a little out of date.
Thankfully, we can set you up with carpeting that will stick to the trends and look good for years to come.
The Latest Carpet Trends of 2016
While looking through the trends in carpeting, we noticed a couple things that haven’t changed much. For example:
- Berber carpet is still popular for any home. The only difference is that there are more patterned and textured styles out today.
- The desire for neutral-colored carpet is still high, so don’t worry if you enjoy plain and simple carpet colors.
- The combination of texture and color is still popular and always will be.
It’s good to see that there are constants in the flooring industry, but that’s not what you want. You’re looking for the top notch flooring; the products that will make your home stand out above the rest.
While looking for the best carpet of 2016, keep these trends in mind:
- Variations in the height and textures can provide a bolder look for your home. There is more visual interest with a multi-leveled looped carpet or carpeting with a deeper loop texture.
- Neutral colors have started to favor more textures, patterns, and flecks of color to add some extra interest than flat carpet designs.
- Flecked carpeting colors are now coming in more tan, cream, and beige tones. You’ll even find a soft green, pale yellow, or blue tint in the mix as well.
Many homeowners are starting to enjoy products with a balanced mix of texture and pattern. These carpets are good for reducing vacuum marks and soiling.
With these new carpet trends, people’s perception of carpet has begun to change. Carpeting is now seen as one of the main design focuses of a house rather than the last bit of renovation you’ll take care of.
Cool and Cozy at the Same Time
Keeping your home trendy is one thing, but keeping it cozy is another. With the trendier carpet styles, you’ll keep yourself warm when the house gets chilly.
Sometimes it’s too hot outside to go out and about, so you kick on the air conditioning and relax inside. Did you know that carpet will keep you warm and cozy while your house cools down?
It’s true. Even the upcoming colder seasons will be a breeze because you were looking at new carpeting during the summer.
According to the CRI, “Carpet provides actual thermal resistance; or R-value.” The term “R-value” refers to a material’s ability to resist the flow of heat. The higher the value, the better the resistance will be.
During the colder seasons, warm air will be retained by the carpeting and kept in the home. That means that you can save money on your heating bill and conserve energy.
The best thing is that you get the same warmth with any kind of style you’re interested in. There are many popular styles like:
- Plush Carpet – If you want a classy and luxurious feeling carpet, plush is the way to go. It’s guaranteed to please and will make your home look more inviting than ever.
- Frieze Carpet – This carpet style provides a casual, informal feel and works well with high-traffic areas. You’ll love the flecked colors it comes in.
- Berber Carpet – For any high-traffic areas where your carpet will take a beating, berber is the way to go. It’s tight looped style makes it hard-wearing and durable.
- Looped Carpet – Made from multi-level loops, this style gives off an interesting underfoot feel. For a fancy impression, looped carpeting will do the job.
No matter what carpeting you choose, you’re going to need a professional installation to make it perform well and last long. Now where do you go to get that?
