The carpet shown at Surfaces 2009 this year was a different showing than last year. This year there were not just an abundance of carpet styles and colors, but choices seemed to be quality choices rather than just quantity.
The primary colors that were used for displays were neutrals, but the colors that were shown were wonderful. Oranges, greens, blues, grays and earthy shades of brown took center stage. The oranges and blues were muted and rich. The greens were light and lively. The browns were earthy, coffee insprired and looked like great candidates for hiding traffic! Along those same lines, there were some beautiful heathered products that have more range of color than I think we are all used to seeing in once piece of carpet.
Like other products shown there were patterns that were outstanding. Look for linear patterns, grid patterns and texture on texture patterns. Look for patterns that are not just floral, but floral wi
th a textured background. I think you will be excited about the upcoming releases!
Be sure when shopping for new carpet to take extra time to feel the products. The yarns are becoming softer than ever. You will find yourself spending more time lying on the floor than standing on your feet.
No matter what your style – if you like color or neutral -small patterns, large patterns or no patters – texture or no texture there is a carpet out there for you that is more unique than ever.
