Today's Carpet Trends

• Berber is still a popular choice, but today's versions have more texture and pattern. Variation in height and sculptured effects offer a bolder look.

• A major shift in the new products is toward layered color and soft texture in carpet. A combination of texture and pattern will always be popular because it minimizes soil and vacuums marks.

• Applied and woven patterns-- in designs of leaves, trellises or flowers, for example-- offer organic shapes that coordinate easily with patterns in other furnishings.

• New manufacturing capabilities have produced many new looks in carpet constructed with cut and loop yarns and in high-and-low loop yarns. Example--Bows, Plaids, Pin-dots.

• Along with paint, carpet can be one of the easiest ways to personalize an environment. its color can be a neutral foundation or a vibrant focal point.
