Carpet Flooring Trends

Though hard surface flooring is popular among homeowners, carpets are not going away anytime soon. In fact, carpet flooring is attracting a sizable number of consumers due to new innovative options.

When it comes to flooring ideas, the options available to the modern-day consumer are too many. From the time it was first introduced, carpet flooring has today come a long, long way. In the carpeting category, you will find a broad range of colors, patterns, and styles to choose from. Flooring for houses and apartments does not always need to be hard. Many times, soft floorings such as carpets are the most ideal option that you can opt for. Whether it is the bedroom, den, or basement, carpets offer softness, warmth, and comfort, which is hard to find in other flooring materials. So, what are some of the hottest trends in the carpet flooring category for 2021? Below, we’ll discuss all the trendiest ideas and a lot more.

Carpet Tiles

Many people hesitate to lay down carpets in their rooms because this flooring material is bulky. The main issue with this product is that it is hard to replace if it gets stained or damaged. This means you need to replace the entire carpeting, even if the damage is limited to just a small area.

 

Thankfully, carpet tiles have resolved this problem for good. If you are in search of a flooring material, which is warm and comfortable, and easy to maintain and repair as well, carpet tiles are the ideal option. Since carpet tile is modular, you will not need to replace the entire thing for small damage. If you have kids and pets in the house, you can decide to install this material without any worry. If a small area of the carpet flooring is stained or damaged, you can now replace just the tiles in that particular area, instead of getting a new carpet installation altogether. In fact, carpet tiles have emerged as one of the hottest trends for 2021.

What is more, carpet tiles are available in an array of attractive colors and patterns to match the specific decor of your home.

Natural Fiber Carpet

Natural materials have always attracted people’s attention. When it comes to designing a home or apartment, many consumers desire to create an environment that looks natural. If you are looking for completely natural flooring material, natural fiber carpet is certainly one of the best options.

Most carpets are manufactured using at least some amount of synthetic fibers, which does not have a natural look. The recent innovations have made it possible to create rugs and carpets from purely natural materials such as wool, seagrass, coir, and jute among others. Carpets made from these materials do not just feel warm and soft, but they also have rich textures and natural weaves. Since natural fiber carpet is gaining a lot of popularity, you should definitely consider this option when it comes to designing the flooring of your house or apartment.

Carpet Planks

One recent innovation in the flooring industry is carpet planks. Till now, the term ‘plank’ was associated with only hard flooring materials. Now, you also have carpet planks that you can install in your homes.

Carpet planks are increasing in popularity with homeowners. Do not confuse ‘carpet planks’ with ‘carpet tiles.’ It is the shape that differentiates a carpet plank from a carpet tile. This new flooring material comes along with much sought-after water- and stain-resistant properties. Moreover, you can seek the help of professional installers to create unique patterns with carpet planks. At Minuteman Floors, we provide both carpet planks of top quality as well their expert installation so that the flooring design of your house speaks for itself.

Striped-Pattern Carpets

How would you like to see stripes in the flooring design of your home? This is going to look fabulous. Carpets with striped patterns are getting a lot of popularity all over for the kind of attractive look they offer.

It is a great idea to install the type of flooring which makes a small room look bigger. That is exactly what striped carpets do. If you plan to install carpet flooring, you should definitely consider this unique look. Lay down this carpet in small rooms and you will add depth to the space. Apart from big and bold stripes, you can also choose to install carpets with small and thin stripes.

Neutral Solid-Colored Carpets

Carpet flooring is available in a broad range of colors and patterns. Neutral solid-colored carpets are a hot trend this year.

If you are planning to achieve a classic flooring design, going for this particular carpet color is the most ideal option. This flooring material is the most suitable choice for areas where you get frequent foot traffic. You can install this material in family rooms and living rooms for a classic look. Depending on your individual taste, you can install low-pile or high-pile neutral solid-colored carpets.

Maximalism

The design concept of maximalism refers to more of everything. One of the hottest trends in carpet flooring is maximalism. This means the application of creative imagination to create an excessively aesthetic look.

As a smart homeowner, you can choose to let your personality shine through a flooring design. If you thought patterned carpets and bright-colored walls do not go together, you need to examine the trends once again. In fact, this is what maximalism is all about. Using a unique combination of bright and soft colors, you can achieve a flooring design that will attract eyeballs. However, you should be careful not to cross the lines when applying the idea of maximalism.

Cut and Loop Carpets

This style of carpet is crafted using a combination of looped and straight fibers. Since cut and loop carpets have a unique style and look of their own, they have been an ideal choice for homeowners.

This year too, the cut and loop carpets will remain a hot trend. Manufacturers have come up with many more attractive patterns to increase the relevance of this particular style of carpets. If you are in search of a carpet style, which incorporates a variety of unique geometric and abstract patterns, the cut and loop style of carpets is the most ideal flooring material to opt for.

Bold, Vibrant-Colored Carpets

Over the years, the color options in carpet flooring have also expanded. Carpets are not a faceless background for your home decor. You should select bold and vibrant colored carpets to make a statement.

Think of colored carpets as an accent decor element. Go for bold and bright colors such as purple, orange, blue, emerald, etc. This year as well in the coming year, the popularity of vibrant colored carpets will only increase. If you are planning the flooring design of your house or apartment, consider using bold colors. For more advice in this regard, talk to a carpet installation expert.
