Feel like you haven’t seen your floor in ages after being covered up by a huge carpet? Get a smaller carpet that doesn’t obstruct your floor but still gives your room that perfect pop of colour.
If you don’t have carpets, consider getting one. Not only do they add flair to your home for decor purposes, but carpets also provide cushioning on the floor for some variety in floor textures. Get inspiration from these amazing carpet decor trends.

Sisal carpets
Sisal carpets are made from a natural carpet fibre extracted from the Agave plant’s long spiny leaves (species name: Agave sisalana). The result is a tough and highly durable carpet that gives your home a touch of a traditional woven look.
If you love this rustic feel, you’ll be glad to know that other than carpets, sisal is also used for rope, twine, cloth, paper, wall coverings, and other handicrafts. For a unifying look, you can even use sisal in other parts of your decor.

Area rugs and carpet runners
These big and bold patterned carpets tend to be statement pieces. This means they often set the tone of the room and may even become the focal point of a living space. In a way, this actually simplifies the rest of your decor choices because the carpet can be the main centrepiece to tie everything together.

Ombre carpets
Ombre refers to the pattern of having one shade of colour gradually fade into another, creating a beautiful gradient effect. This gives your home a graceful and calming look. Having an ombre carpet is also a great way to introduce a bright colour into your home, as the gentle gradient can soften the look.

Layering carpets
Can’t get enough of carpets? How about getting two? There’s no limit for you to settle for just one carpet. In fact, this trendy look shows how you can layer two different carpets together to create a contrasting look.
The simplest way is to first lay down one carpet, then spread the other piece diagonally to create interest and intrigue. Change up patterns, textures, and colours to really bring out a contemporary vibe. For example, get a woven sandy-coloured carpet as the base layer with a gorgeous ocean blue overlaid on top for a fun modern look.
With all these lovely carpet decor ideas, give your home a stunning new look! Whether its exciting or soothing, make your home look just the way you want it to.
