Five carpet trends recommended by interior designers

When installing new carpets in your Chester or North Wales home, it makes sense to gather inspiration from experts. Here are some suggestions from top interior designers.

1. Earth tone light colours

Beige, ivory and taupe are timeless colours that create a calm ambience suitable for bedrooms, according to designer Naomi Astley Clarke. A pale earth tone carpet can be mixed with bolder-coloured walls and furniture.

2. Dark natural green colours

Mossy and olive greens are dark natural shades recommended by designer Marina Braginskaya, who suggests going for warm complex shades of green that give the feeling of walking in a calming leafy forest glade.

3. Warm sienna, terracotta and umber

These naturally warm colours work well with any other colours; lighter shades create an airy and luxurious feel to a room.

4. Textured carpets in natural colours

The popular trend for textured carpets is expected to continue into 2024 as they add depth to a room's design scheme. Braginskaya favours textured carpets made from natural fibres such as wool and jute, combined with silk and bamboo to add warmth.

5. Natural dyed wool carpets

Woollen carpets are known for their luxury comfort, but the growing trend is towards 100% woollen carpets with natural dyes that add a touch of earthiness. Quality natural wool carpets are durable and sustainable, making for a beautiful and aesthetically pleasing carpet flooring option.

These five trends are popular right now and are likely to be among the biggest in 2024, with both dark and light colours sure to be in fashion.
