Carpet options will focus not
only on durability but, will also have a bent towards the appearance. Known and
used for the warmth and soft surface they provide, carpets are all-time
favourite floor coverings. There’s nothing as relaxing as tossing off your
shoes and placing your feet on a luxurious soft floor covering or a beautifully
designed carpet complementing the aesthetics. In regards to carpets; the most
important factor is the kind of home décor you have and how well the décor blends
in with the carpets. Having said that abstract designed carpets will be an
vogue and textures and colour will define the carpet trend. Bold textures and
animal prints are the order of the day.
Colour choices
A pop of colour can bring any
room alive. Pale greens, soft yellows, dusty mauves and blues would be trending
as the favourite carpet hues. The idea is to add shades of various colours in
form of accessories to brighten the room décor. Designs on the carpets also add
to the look and feel of a room.
Animal appeal
Glamorous animal prints have
carved out a special segment and claimed a rightful place on carpets. Animal
print carpets add chutzpah to the décor and are seen as statement pieces that
reflect the mood of the occupants of the house. Yellow and greens being the
more unconventional colours, will stand to rock the floor décor as they are the
newest hues to jump on the bandwagon of carpet colours. Characteristically
positive and vibrant these colours uplifts the tenor of the room and bring in
certain freshness and comfort to the room. Small carpets in solid colours with
design on them are very fashionable – an art on the floor that one can walk
over.
Maintenance matters
With lack of time, people look
out for options in carpets that are easy to maintain. So, carpets that are easy
to wash and clean, and require minimum effort to maintain are the ones people
are looking out for. Given the kind of pollution cities have, carpets with
properties such as moth-free and dust-free also tend to be quiet in demand.
Carpets need to be changed along with the interiors these days, hence synthetic
carpets are the most sought after ones. They are easy to maintain and can be
frequently changed along with change in décor.
Size perception
It’s a notion that carpets make
a room look smaller; whereas if we place larger size rug, the expanse of the
room looks wider; still adding warmth to the room. So, even if the room is
small placing a carpet would give the illusion of a bigger room.
Carpets are an accessory that
reduces the noise of step fall and allows you to give a twist to your room,
set-up whenever you want, without going through the tedious process of tile
change. Within the space of your home, you can always incorporate a carpet to
bring liveliness, colour and style to your spaces.
