Carpets to make comeback

Many households are turning away from minimalist design trends and opting for a cosier, more lived-in feel that includes wall-to-wall carpets.

Abigail Ahern, an interior designer, says that carpets are making a comeback. Speaking to Livingetc, she said:

“We are looking at ways to bring comfort into our homes and there's nothing like carpet to make rooms feel cosier and more sumptuous than ever.”

There are several carpet trends that are expected to be popular in 2022. One key trend is carpets made from natural fibres, including jute, seagrass and wool. A natural fibre carpet in neutral colours has simplicity and underfoot softness. A deep-pile wool carpet looks attractive and makes a space feel luxurious, warm and comforting. To add vibrance to a room that has a plain-coloured, natural fibre carpet, lay brightly coloured rugs on top of it.

Another trend predicted to be big in 2022 is carpets with bold colours and prints. Some homes are opting for bold carpet patterns with three or four colours. The furniture and the rest of the room decor is matched to the shades featured in the carpet.

Tartan carpets are another trend expected to feature in 2022. A simple tartan pattern in traditional greens and browns can make a room feel fresh and contemporary.

People spent more time at home during lockdown and looked for ways to improve their homes. Carpets in North Wales and Chester homes are a simple way to elevate a room and make it feel more cosy and warm.
