The new trends in carpet

From soft tones in bedrooms to bright styles in living rooms, choose a coloured carpet for an instant update

Colours

Colours are becoming bolder, with designs in rich red, chocolate brown and beautiful tones of blue, from navy to aqua. Coloured carpet can be used successfully in all rooms. Rich tones will look smart in living and dining areas, while the softer shades are an ideal choice for bedrooms. If you’re buying a coloured carpet to fit with existing furniture and wall colour, take a sample home to make sure it works in your interior.
