Top interiors that feature bold statement carpets

Carpets can make a bold statement in a room, as well as add texture. Top architects and interior designers are using bold colour carpets in their designs.

The Arches Apartment in Barcelona, designed by the PMAA architecture studio, has white arches, walls and ceilings with sea green carpets providing contrast to the stark white features.

A Mexico City mansion is used by Masa gallery to exhibit artworks. It makes a bold design statement with bright red walls and a red and gold carpet. A New York apartment designed by Harry Nuriev and Tyler Billinger of Crosby Studios also makes a bold statement with a heavy pile purple carpet. Billinger said:

"We wanted a space that was not only elegant but also liveable – we wanted to create a cosy sanctuary, which is why we used a warm grey as the base colour and a vibrant purple as the supporting."

A London townhouse by Studio Hagen Hall has a sofa upholstered in orange velvet, with a bright peach carpet that also covers surfaces and a large round footstool.

A bright magenta carpet and a deep blue sofa feature in Casa Lana, Milan which was designed by Ettore Sottsass.

These bold designs show that carpets don’t have to be in neutral or muted shades. A bold coloured carpet can be the main feature of a room. If you love brightly-coloured décor, visit a carpet retailer in North Wales or Chester and ask to see their selection of carpets in bold shades.
