Carpet Trends To Fall In Love With

With hard surface flooring being a favorite for many home owners, carpet gets less love and attention, but there’s good news out there for carpet. This year, we will continue to see the designs of carpet break barriers and create a wow factor for people.

We love the power of pattern and character, so it’s no surprise that one of our favorite trends for 2019 is carpet that boasts bold, fun patterns and character. More times than not, a patterned carpet or rug will include a multitude of colors, which also widens your design options for the remainder of your room. A patterned carpet is also fabulous for making your floors the statement piece in a neutral colored room. Don’t be afraid to bring the wow factor to your floors.

2019 will also be the year that we see more area rugs in the entryway. Everyone entering your home will walk through your entryway, so go big and luxurious in this small footprint. A beautiful entryway rug or runner will set the tone for the rest of your home.

If you’re looking for a rug that will give you texture, go for jute, an underrated flat weave rug that pairs beautifully with neutrals and blues. In a coastal themed room, a jute rug will complete your look.

Patterned Backsplashes in the Kitchen

This year the kitchen will be the room to make an impact in as we make a shift from less white to more patterns and colors incorporated into backsplashes. As a functional purpose, kitchen backsplashes are great for catching spills and splashes from cooking, but they also serve a design purpose as well. If you’re looking to take your kitchen to the next level, try incorporating a bold patterned or colorful backsplash into your design this year.

For an eclectic look, try mixing and matching several different patterns in similar colors to truly make your space personal. If you decide to make your backsplash the focal point of the room, make sure to keep the rest of the kitchen neutral.

If eclectic is a bit too much but you still want to add a statement to your space, bring a bold colored backsplash to your neutral or white kitchen. This is a great way to still make a bold statement while keeping your design timeless.

And if you prefer to stick to an overall neutral color scheme, you can still find a neutral colored backsplash in a fun and bold pattern to keep a classic look to your space.

How to Use Animal Prints in Your Home

If you’re looking to make a bold move in your interiors this year, consider walking on the wild side by adding animal prints to your home.

With animal prints, no matter how large or small of a surface you cover, you are making a bold statement. Animal print wallpaper in a smaller room, such as the bathroom or hallway is great for bringing a lot of personality to your space. Try keeping the rest of the room a bit more simple so as not to overwhelm the space.

On the floor, consider a carpeted runner on your stairs in a neutral colored animal print.

In a larger room, such as the living or dining room, a rug is a great way to bring a fun, beautiful animal print to your décor. It’s simple, yet goes a long way.

And for those wanting a less intense splash of boldness, animal prints work great on pillows, blankets, and smaller pieces of furniture, such as the stool in this gorgeous bathroom.
