In the past, patterned carpets have been the domain of commercial applications. But the products are inching their way into homes as well. Manufacturers are showing plaids, geometrics, ribbons, floral and leaf patterns, and other interesting configurations this year. Within these styles, deep greens, navies and even black colorations are popular. The product also is being used with carpet, area rugs, ceramic tile, brick and stone, creating more pattern on pattern.
Many current styles feature a blending of fabrics to create interesting styles.
Braided rugs are a prime example. Rather than using solid-color yarns, many modern braided rugs employ a variety of different fabrics from wools to cottons and blends. And they come in patterns and colors to coordinate with any decor. Expect more pattern as printing and fabricating processes improve, says PDRA , and consumers become more accepting.
