Carpet Trends 2025: What is Hot Right Now?

Carpet is back in fashion. Gone are the days of 'hard floors everywhere'. Homeowners are returning to the comfort and warmth of carpet, but with a modern twist.

1. Texture is King: Flat, uniform carpets are out. Chunky loops, rib effects, and 'waffle' textures are in. They add depth and interest to a neutral floor without needing loud colors.

2. Earthy Neutrals: Grey is still popular, but it's warming up. 'Greige' (Grey/Beige), Taupe, stone, and oatmeal range are replacing the cold steel greys of the last decade. These warmer tones make a home feel cozier.

3. Sustainable Choices: Wool is having a huge resurgence as people look for plastic-free options. Recycled plastic carpets (made from old fishing nets or bottles) are also huge for eco-conscious buyers.

4. Bold Stairs: As mentioned in our stripes guide, the staircase is becoming a feature wall for the floor. Tartan, stripes, and bold colors are being used to make an entrance statement.

5. Layering: Using a rug over a fitted carpet is no longer a faux pas. It's a way to add a zone of color or extra luxury under a coffee table.
