Four carpet trends for 2022

From interior designers to flooring experts, those who are an authority on carpeting are tipping its return to popularity in 2022. While a move towards more minimalist and easier to care for flooring has been a common choice in recent years, experts believe the turbulent events experienced since March last year have contributed to carpet’s comeback.

People have spent more time in their houses, often staying safe and working from home during government lockdowns. This has resulted in residences becoming even more of a sanctuary than ever before, and homeowners have been keen to make them feel cosy, comfortable and welcoming.

While there are many different kinds of floor covering available, no solution ticks all the boxes like high-quality carpeting. In the next sections, we’ll take a closer look at some carpet trends incoming for the new year.

1. All-natural options

A leading trend for carpets in 2022 is for homeowners to install options crafted from natural materials. Organic fibre carpeting manufactured from seagrass, sisal, jute and wool can create a stylish and subtle floor area with a careful balance of softness underfoot and texture for character. Natural materials can be both hardwearing and attractive to look at, and those seeking an environmentally friendly floor covering will find sustainable options easy to purchase.

2. Bold designs

Carpet trends also consider that very homeowner has their own style. While many will want a subtle background they can layer up with rugs, others will desire a more eye-catching appearance. As a result, bold statement carpets are also on trend for next year. Strong solid colours and dynamic prints have been a rising fashion in recent years that is set to continue in 2022. Experts advise that homeowners considering a bold move should try installing statement carpeting in a small area first to ensure it has the appeal they are after.

3. Selective palettes

Carpets that set a room’s colour scheme and work with the rest of its interior and furnishings are also in style for 2022. A selective colour palette where the carpet, curtains, cushions and upholstery all register on a scale of hues and tints never goes out of fashion and gives living spaces a cohesive look that is always easy on the eye. Many designers will select the carpet first and dress the rest of the room accordingly, but homeowners can also work in reverse, selecting carpeting that suits their existing colour scheme.

4. Step up the softness

Finally, for those wishing to ramp up the comfort levels and enjoy maximum cosiness, the return of plush carpeting is on the way for 2022. Deep-pile carpets offer homeowners the feel of sinking their feet into a luxurious experience. Available in a wide range of colours and patterns, these opulent options are offered in styles to suit all personal tastes and different room decors.

Whether you’re looking for subtle, bold or an all-natural look, there is no doubt that carpeting has made a major comeback and will be fitted in more homes across the UK next year.
