What’s trending in carpet flooring styles?

Today, carpeting is all about creativity and self-expression. Rug textures are significant, as are certain styles. Let's take a closer look.

Textures in carpets

1. Shag is sometimes referred to as “sheepdog rug.” It is a high pile rug with long, loose fibers.

Remember the iconic shag colors of the 1970s? Thanks to modern technology, this fun rug comes in any hue, from red to purple to black. Multi-tones are also available.

2. Frieze. This has long-ish fibers (but not as long as the shag) twisted so tightly they curl. They are durable, and because of the casual, "messy" look, this floor covering is especially suitable for family rooms.

Styles in vogue

1. Berber styles. This rug looks just as good in the living area, bedroom, or office, as it does in the family or game room.

This rug is inspired by the weaving style of the Berber tribe of North Africa. Traditional Berbers have knots and a light background with flecks of gray or brown.

Modern Berbers are more known for their looped construction. It also is available in solid or multi-colors.

Looped rugs are very durable and easy to keep clean. They are ideal for heavily trafficked areas.
Come into our carpet store to explore our looped rugs. You'll see manufacturers like Mohawk.

2. Cut and loop. This is just as it sounds. The various fiber heights create patterns such as squares, diamonds, geometrics, pin dots, and sculpted marble effects. Some even have abstract, “wavy” patterns.
