Carpet Is Back
Beyond Beige: Inside the Modern Carpet Revival
Carpet has officially reentered the design conversation — and this time, it’s anything but boring.
Yes, carpet is back. Vogue, Better Homes & Gardens, and design blogs everywhere are celebrating its return. But not the flat, synthetic gray or beige that covered every home in the ‘90s. The new wave of carpet is rich in texture, expressive in color, and crafted with quality materials that feel as intentional as the furniture above it.
Over 70% of carpet sold today still comes from big box retailers — which means most homeowners only see the same small range of synthetic, apartment-quality neutrals. But the modern movement in carpet design is happening elsewhere: boutique collections, natural fibers, and bold, statement-making patterns designed to elevate your entire space.
Warmth, Reimagined
Carpet has always been the go-to for comfort, but today’s versions add warmth in more ways than one. Textural layers, tone-on-tone patterns, and sculptural weaves create visual depth and softness that hardwood alone can’t replicate.
Trending Carpets
Color with Character
Color is leading the carpet renaissance — think earthy terracottas, deep ocean blues, warm taupes, and forest greens. These hues add mood and sophistication, turning a room from purely functional to intentionally designed.
Natural by Nature
The shift toward quality materials is undeniable. Designers are gravitating to wool, sisal, and silk blends — fibers that bring texture, longevity, and authenticity. Beyond their luxurious feel, these natural materials offer performance and sustainability that mass-produced synthetics can’t match.
Patterns with Personality
The days of uniform piles are over. Cut-and-loop designs, geometric motifs, and tonal variations are turning floors into design focal points. Carpeting isn’t just a surface anymore — it’s a foundation of style.
