Carpets become rising American design trend

The USA is experiencing a renewed trend for carpets in interior design.

In the past, millennials in America rejected carpets in favour of hard surface floors that are easier to maintain. Many landlords ripped out carpets when tenants moved out, as they believed that carpeted apartments were less popular and made it more difficult to attract new tenants.

According to Los Angeles designer Kerry Vasquez, however, tastes are changing. Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, she said that more of her clients are asking for carpets. The most popular carpets are low-pile, single-colour ones in earthy shades. Her clients find that carpets add texture and warmth to a home.

Carpets deteriorate unless they are regularly cleaned. This makes a carpet seem less practical than wood or laminate flooring, but to some Americans, a carpeted home is regarded as a status symbol that demonstrates the homeowner has the money to pay someone to keep their carpets well maintained. Though quality carpets are hardwearing, many like to replace their carpets every few years with a new colours one to refresh the designs of their homes.

Though some households prefer hard flooring in Chester and North Wales properties, carpets remain popular. Consumers like the wide range of carpet colours and patterns that are available. Those who don’t want to pay someone for carpet maintenance can maintain them with regular vacuuming, but it is recommend that at least once a year, the carpets should be deep cleaned by a professional carpet cleaning service.
