Choosing a new carpet for your home is an easy way to bring a fresh look to your décor without spending a lot of money on redecorating your entire home. Here are some tips and insights for what’s new in carpet trends for 2016.

Color is Everything

While neutral and beige tones are still popular classic color choices for homeowners (especially those looking to resell), splashes of vivid colors can make the space pop and have a big impact on the eye. Muted blues (such as navy) and greens are popular this year, bringing a soothing and natural feeling to the room.

Texture: How Does It Look?

Texture is important to where you’re planning to install your new carpet. Choosing a texture that can hide dirt and foot tracks, especially in high traffic areas of your house, and that look cozy and welcoming can be a key factor in choosing your carpet.

“Cozy” is the big keyword for 2016, with plush carpets making a big splash. Choose a textured Saxony or Frieze carpet style—both types are warm and inviting, and help to minimize dirt and footprints. Other major trends include patterns cut into the carpet, rather than print designs. Look for mixed cut-and-loop pile carpets or tailor geometric designs to bring an artistic look to your floors.

Comfort is Key

Your new carpet should reflect your home as well as your style. Vintage and handcrafted-looking carpets are popular this year, evoking a high-end nostalgic feel. Look for a twist pile carpet with tight texture for an interior “cocoon” feel for the bedroom, or find a carpet with an aged look to it to bring a vintage look for the living room.
