Carpet Trends
- Shag is back with a vengeance. But it’s a lot more sophisticated than it was thirty years ago. This time it offers subtle earth tones and multi-tones in fibers that are both soft and durable.
- Berbers remain strong. Patterned and multi-looped Berbers in multi-tone colors are still favored in high use areas of the home. Nylons are popular but low-luster olefin fiber still commands the dominant choice for this wool-look carpet. The fact is, Berber still gives you more bang for your buck.
- Friezes are hot. A Frieze is a highly twisted cut pile carpet with short fibers that tend to curl in different directions, hiding footprints and vacuum marks. Friezes are good for high traffic situations, especially when tufted at higher densities.
Pattern-on-Pattern Saxony or CLC carpet give a three dimensional appearance to your floor while adding style and elegance. Usually tufted in dense constructions with premium fiber, these carpets have excellent traffic hiding abilities and will last for years.- Green fibers and technologies are slow in coming in the Carpet industry. P.E.T fiber recycled from pop bottles has been around for years, but performance concerns limit it’s popularity. Type 6 nylon can be recycled into new fiber but the facilities are still limited. And we have yet to see samples of carpets made from corn fiber?
- Possibly the greenest thing we could do is focus on better quality carpets that stand up for more years and therefore reduce the strain on our resources and landfills.

Look at the wear layer and the overall thickness. A thicker vinyl offers more stability and resistance to tears, dents and gouges. And a thicker wear layer resists scuffs, cuts and scratches better. Look for enhanced urethanes with aluminum oxide for better performance.
Natural stone is also popular. Slate, granite and marble are the three main ones. Slate is metamorphosed clay or shale, while marble is derived from limestone. Granite is an igneous rock, likewise formed under millions of years of heat and pressure. No one can argue with the durability, functionalism and natural beauty of stone floors.
