Carpet color trends for 2015
Carpet comes in so many styles and colors that it can be hard to choose. Here are a few colors that are currently very poplar and work well with a variety of design styles.
Blues
Everything from deep indigo to dark navy to sky blue. Darker shades of blue can anchor a room, making a large space feel smaller or adding just the right backdrop to light colored furniture. Lighter shades of blue can open up a room with an airy feel.
Greens
Mossy greens and olive greens are the trend of the moment. These shades of green can warm up a room and have the added benefit of acting as a neutral. If you need that neutral influence but want to stay away from beige or cream, a warm olive green can be just what you’re looking for.
Greys
Greys are becoming more and more popular and for good reason. They are a beautiful warm alternative to neutral browns. Grey floors look particularly nice in a modern, contemporary design and can work in any shade from pale, light grey woods to deep charcoal carpets.
Purples
Yes, purple. Shades in the blush or berry family are becoming more and more popular. Brighter shades of purple make a bold design statement while the lighter shades become a subtle accent to your design.
Whether you want to take advantage of one of these colorful trends or not, we encourage you to play with your color options.
