Whether you\u2019re looking for a floor covering for your home or business, there are numerous options for finding a tasteful design that will suit your indoor environment. However, with more colors, textures and patterns available than ever before, itcan be<\/span><\/span> difficult to decide which floor covering option is best for you.<\/p>\n

Want some ideas for choosing the right floor covering for your living space? Try considering these 6 trends in floor covering<\/a>:<\/p>\n

1. Soft Colors<\/em><\/p>\n

Muted carpet colors such as beige, gray, and tan are all classic choices that are appropriate for home and business environments. Soft colors contribute to an overall sense of cleanliness and can make a room feel more spacious. Soft colors are the best choice for rooms that don\u2019t receive high levels of traffic, since stains show up easily on light-colored carpets. If you do decide to install a soft-colored floor covering in a high traffic or spill-prone area, consider looking for a carpet made of stain-resistant fiber.<\/p>\n

2. Accent Colors and Bold Patterns<\/em><\/p>\n

In contrast to the soft colors listed above, many people choose to install floor coverings that make a statement<\/span>. Choosing a carpet with a bright color or pattern can be<\/span><\/span> perfect for a room with an otherwise muted color scheme. Eye-catching floor coverings are particularly effective for small spaces such as hallways and stairs.<\/p>\n

3. Carpet Tile<\/em><\/p>\n

Carpet tiles, or carpet squares, are popular for a variety of reasons. One reason that carpet tiles are a popular choice is that it\u2019s possible to create interesting visual effects by creating patterns using carpet tiles of different colors, shades, or textures. Another benefit to carpet tiles is that it\u2019s easy to replace a stained or otherwise damaged tile. This makes carpet tiles a great choice for busy living spaces or for professional spaces in which spills are likely to occur.<\/p>\n

4. Subtle Patterns and Textures<\/em><\/p>\n

Advances is carpet manufacturing have made it possible to find carpets with a wide variety of interesting patterns and textures. Aside from adding visual interest to a room, floor coverings that are patterned<\/span> or textured can actually hide accumulated dirt and signs of wear in high-traffic areas.<\/p>\n

5. Natural Elements and Sustainable Materials<\/em><\/p>\n

Floor coverings made of natural and sustainable materials are an excellent choice for creating an environmentally friendly space. For high-traffic areas such as entryways and hallways, floor coverings made from sisal and jute can add a natural touch. Another sustainable option is to choose a floor covering made from recycled materials such as nylon or polyethylene terephthalate (which is manufactured<\/span> from recycled drink bottles). Carpets made of recycled materials are often low-maintenance and have soft textures.<\/p>\n

6. Vintage Style<\/em><\/p>\n

Another popular floor covering trend is to choose carpets that look vintage or aged. This is typically accomplished by choosing carpets that have subtle patterns, or colors with gray tints for an \u201cold-fashioned\u201d feel.<\/p>\n

Of course, your ultimate floor covering choice will depend on the style of the room. You\u2019ll want to consider whether you want the floor covering to be<\/span> a focal point, an accent or a subtle background element.<\/p>\n

In addition, it\u2019s important to consider the amount of traffic that the room receives. For high-traffic areas, you\u2019ll likely want a dark-colored or patterned floor covering that doesn\u2019t show dirt, and that\u2019s easy to clean.<\/p>\n

Finally, you may want to think about the room\u2019s purpose when choosing a carpet texture. For example, office areas with movable furniture do best with a durable carpet with a smooth texture. In contrast, you may want to choose a softer texture for living areas in which small children may be<\/span> crawling on the floor.<\/p>\n
