Carpets are not new in this part of the world; you are bound to find a carpet or two in the living spaces of almost every home, with the sitting room carpet finding a place of pride. It is no more about wall-to-wall carpeting in standard shades to cover unsightly tiles or add to the ease of cleaning with the ever reliable vacuum cleaner. People are opting for carpets that can spread warmth in the living space with texture, design and colour. As a décor expert noted, carpets infuse character, texture and a feeling of warmth, with muted shades helping to make subtle style statements.
Although carpets are available in different styles and budgets in the city, it is not something a tenant or even a homeowner would change to suit the season. It is common to continue with the one that is already spread out on the floor until it gets worn out or the mess fallen on it refuses to get cleaned. But if plans are on to redecorate or even move into a new place with new carpets, check out what is trending in the carpet quarters here:
Wall Carpets
Rugs and carpets on walls may not be a novelty in many homes that have found ways to adorn rugs picked as souvenirs during holidays, but with decorators insisting that rugs are trending as wall art, now is the best time as any to give your wall a carpet note. With some of the woven ones creating artistic flavours, a rug is a better wall art than any.
Opt for designs and that suit your style.
Entryway Carpets
Most homes are designed with entryways, flats included. The size may differ, but the significance of every entryway is heightened by how one adorns or equips it with the right carpet or rug. Generally, people are wont to put the most uninspiring or the dullest coloured carpet on their entryway as a way to hide the dirt that is bound to come in every time the members of the house walk in. Some do realise the importance of fitting the entryway with a vibrant rug; for, it is the entryway décor that helps establish a first impression about your home among visitors. Even lighter coloured carpets can make it to the entryway, as they can easily add an element of luxury to your home. And the dirt could be kept at bay with sturdy mat at the entrance. Remember, carpets can also act as extensions of your personality, so choose the one that you are comfortable with.
Large Carpets
Although wall-to-wall carpets have lost their earlier sheen, larger carpets are trending this season. The market too has geared to greet the trend by presenting several larger options to fits different requirements and floor spaces. Interior decorators believe that large rugs/carpets have an inviting appeal and, what is more, that they infuse a touch of luxury. With full sized rugs, you also have a better choice while conceptualising your décor ideas for the room.
Low-Pile Carpets
It’s the time of low-pile carpets (pile height refers to the density of fibres in the carpet). People are opting for low pile carpets as the idea is to inject a feel of warm minimalism in the living space. Low-pile varieties are durable and, interestingly, some of the best designs come in such carpets. They are also easier to clean and maintain.
Jute Carpets
Jute is trending in the carpet market. For those seeking earthy tones and natural flavours, jute carpets are the best bets. Besides, jute carpets are believed to be ideal options for those who are allergic to other varieties.
Colourful Carpets
Colourful carpets infuse an element of fresh appeal on to the space it occupies. With the new season trending a vibrant mix of colours in the carpets, it will do your living space a whole lot of good to invest in a multi-coloured carpet. The more colours the merrier is the credo for the season.
