Here’s our wrap-up of the latest Carpet trends
Our team has been installing carpets since 1990! We absolutely love the transformation a carpet can make.
Carpeting does a beautiful job of elevating the comport of a space while providing an opportunity for added colour and texture.
Here are some trends and innovations coming out of the carpet world!
Sustainable Fibres
The best example is genuine New Zealand wool. Learn more about the Farm to Floor process of this centuries old artisanship in this video.
Regarding style, the colour options and textures are pleasing and timeless!

Innovative Protected Fibres
Stain resistance is of the upmost importance when making a carpet. Especially for full homes with high traffic needs!
We appreciate the remarkable stain fighting capability of Smartstrand by Mohawk. It has 100% permanent built-in-stain protection and an All-Pet protection warranty.

Bold Prints and Patterns
Playing with different loops, textures, patterns and colour can create a totally unique space that is full of style and character.

Carpet Tile for Residential Spaces
This may not be the most comfortable option as carpet tile is usually intended for commercial spaces. But consider the design options that are opened up when using modular carpet for high functional rooms like basements, family rooms, and home offices etc.

Better Installation Best Practices
Installation tools are also developing and they make a big difference in extending the lifetime and experience of living with a carpet. Also consider using a 10lb underlayment for added cushion. An expert installer doesn’t hurt either!
