Top 10 carpet trends to watch for in 2022

Home design trends are moving away from sleek, minimalist interiors to more plush and cosy rooms, and wall-to-wall carpets in Chester and North Wales are making a comeback. According to a report by Livingetc, the top 10 carpet trends of 2022 are:

1. Natural

Carpets made from natural materials, including seagrass, sisal and wool featuring simple neutral colours that are soft and soothing, are set to be on trend this year. To add a touch of brightness, rugs can be layered on top.

2. Bold

The opposite to neutral shades are bold, bright colours and patterns, which are also a predicted trend. If wall-to-wall bold carpets are too much, start by adding vibrant colours to small areas.

3. Mixed finishes

A carpet with natural colours and simple patterns can be more interesting with mixed finishes, including areas with different pile lengths and textures.

4. Carpets that set room colours

Some homes will allow their carpet to set the dominant colour for the rest of the room this year.

5. Colour blocks

Carpet tiles are ideal for creating blocks of colours on the floor, and one predicted trend is having vivid colours contrasting with more neutral ones.

6. Tartan

Tartan pattern carpets are set to bring traditional country classic style into the home.

7. Plush

Soft, plush long pile carpets will make rooms feel warm and cosy this year.

8. Wool

A thick, deep-pile wool pile carpets will add luxury to rooms this year, dampening sound and keeping rooms warm thanks to their insinuating properties.

9. Earthy tones

Colour consultant Lynn Llewellyn-Jones says that earthy colours make people feel energetic, optimistic, secure and grounded, and earthy-toned carpets are set to be on trend.

10. Match carpets to the wall

People will also match their carpets to their wall colours, creating a feeling of being cocooned and safe.

While these are the predicted trends, homeowners can choose whatever style of carpet fits their personality and home best.
