Spruce it up!

The carpet world has had a major makeover and it’s time to become a part of it! Though for many decades our eyes have been used to seeing the very quaint, ‘Pleasantville,’ beige and neutral colored carpeting all around us, that doesn’t have to be the case any longer! As choices in carpet, within color, quality and texture, have dramatically changed throughout the years, a good choice of carpet can take your entire home or a small living area from ‘What a drag…to Oh! How chic!’

Although the neutral colors are still very much in style and used very often, things have definitely gotten interesting! The industry is changing the meaning of “neutral” and is incorporating a lot more choices in texture, pattern and color. It’s about time! I mean, don’t get me wrong here, everyone loves their charming beige and tan colored carpets, I do too. But, while carpet still comes in these colors, designers are now adding small designs and flecks of color to shake things up a bit. No harm in that!

These contrasts are actually a great help, especially if you don’t have much time or money to be cleaning or buying new things all the time. How so, you ask? Well, these contrasts help to create the “feel” of each room and can even minimize the appearance of dirt trails left behind by your little ones. Love it now, don’t you? Shades of pale blues, greens and yellows have also become quite popular for their ability to transform a room while creating a very pleasant ambience. A room or living area can go from ‘plain ol’ Jane’ to having an awesome theme with just the right carpet.

You can also find woven patterns of many different types in carpets now, which allow you to break with monotony and definitely add your own special flare to any room. If you want to change a certain area in your house, but don’t necessarily have the money to buy all new furniture pieces and accents, this can definitely help. By adding new carpeting with a woven pattern, perhaps related to your current furniture if you like, and simply adding some new, colored pillows here and there, can definitely make a huge difference at just a fraction of the cost. Pretty amazing, huh!

If you’re a fan of carpet but are bored of the same ol’ texture from the office to the home, and would rather feel a much more plush, pampering and relaxing feel at home, there’s also something for you! The industry has not only transformed carpet in the colors and patterns they are providing to their clients, but also in texture. Thanks to new technologies, companies are now offering much more soft and indulging textures for all of your pampering needs, which you so deserve!

When selecting which carpet style and color, or theme will be best for each room, you may want to consider what the room will be used for and of course, how much traffic that particular room gets. That way, you can get the most bang for your buck, and maximize your inner interior designer skills to the best of your ability.

What was once seen as just a means to provide a cost-effective and efficient floor covering has now become the focal point of much design and the way to incorporate your own personality and style while making your place a home.
