A carpet in the modern sense should not be just a piece of furniture and a colored spot in the center of the room. What carpets are in fashion in 2021? Today, carpets with history are becoming increasingly popular; these are echoes of the English “storytelling” trend, and for good reason.
Dimensions
The answer to the question of what are the current fashionable floor carpets in size cannot be unambiguous. The carpet should not only be stylish, but also practical. In some cases, a narrow path will be required to cover the stairs or narrow hallway passage. For other rooms, you need flooring with a clear geometry (round or rectangular carpet). The size depends not only on the scale of the room, but also on the intended purpose. Types of carpets and their popular sizes:
- carpet runners - 0.8×1.5; 1.6x2.3 m;
- rectangular and oval shape - 2x3; 2x4; 2.5×3.5; 3x4 m;
- round, diameter 1.5; 2; 2.5; 3m.
Main rules
The design of a carpet for the floor in a room should not be isolated. The most successful home interiors are designed with continuity in mind.
Harmonious interior decor
Even while some rooms may take on a personal character, it's helpful to think of your home as a complete organism rather than a series of disconnected spaces.
The main thing is that it is not isolated
Your choice of rug can be the basis for your decor planning.
Tip Make it a starting point from which other ideas arise, or choose an option to complement the already formed design of walls, furniture, fireplace, curtains and paintings.
In any case, the floor covering will connect all the design elements, creating a coherent scheme for any interior.

A useful approach when planning a circuit is to think of it as a four-part equation:
- color;
- drawing;
- texture;
- style.

Very practical
A polyester carpet can be safely laid in the bathroom - it will instantly increase the degree of comfort and coziness in the room. It is much easier to care for than a cotton rug, and it will last many times longer.

Watercolor stains
If “watercolor” wallpaper has not surprised anyone for a long time, then a carpet with such a delicate and colorful print risks becoming the focal point of the interior. And don’t be afraid that the colors will quickly fade: these carpets are made of polyamide, which means they are hypoallergenic, wear-resistant, easy to care for and retain their beautiful appearance for a long time.

Historical prints
Historical prints often experience a rebirth, and there is a reasonable explanation for this: archival patterns are unique and unlike anything else. For example, the English artist William Morris, when creating his prints for interior design, was inspired by the nature of England, the art of the Renaissance and the creativity of his contemporaries. Designers have long begun to use wallpaper and textiles with Morris prints in interior design, and now carpets have also appeared in their field of vision.

What do design and style experts say?
Let's see what the professionals have to say about carpet trends and styles. And this is what I found for you. Below is a selection of three stylish trends that designers are choosing.
Recycled carpet
Eco-friendly flooring is a powerful trend, and carpet is no exception. In fact, most rugs made today are made, at least in part, from recycled material.
Large drawing that does not spoil the interior
Homeowners and manufacturers are paying more attention to our environment. This is a trend that will only increase over time.
Friese
Frieze is a long, twisted pile that has a curly appearance. It is a relatively new trend and will likely continue for at least the next decade.

Carpet tiles
Carpet tiles are suitable for high traffic areas or family homes where there is a risk of damage or wear. It is suitable for different rooms, since the stores have a fairly wide selection of special carpet tiles for the bathroom, kitchen or bedroom.
Parts of this flooring can be easily removed and replaced, making it an excellent solution for homes with small children and pets.
Carpet tiles are suitable for the bedroom
Carpet tiles contrast interestingly with laminate and other surfaces and can be used in several ways at once.

Choosing the right one
Carpet as art
Designer carpets often resemble abstract paintings—sometimes bold, sometimes meditative. Investing in such a thing is a great pleasure. But how to use it is up to you: you can lay it on the floor, you can hang it on the wall.

Recommendations from designers: choosing a carpet design for the living room
Have you decided on materials and texture? It's time to think about design. Many people have no idea that the carpet in the hall is not necessarily rectangular or square products with clear edges. The shape and design can be anything - the imagination of designers allows you to create incredible masterpieces. Let's talk about the most unusual options.
Carpet fashion trends for living rooms
The living room is the most visited room in the house. Accordingly, you will see a carpet lying on the floor very often. The main task is to choose a product that is pleasing to the eye.
Popular options:
- Round rugs with fringes. A great way to decorate a compact living room.
- Palas with a relief pattern. The pattern on the surface of the product looks three-dimensional and realistic.
- Classic models with a laconic design. The carpet can depict squares, circles, straight or zigzag lines.
- Products with contrasting patterns. These are specimens with fancy patterns on a plain background or an ensemble of compatible bright shades.
- Carpets with portraits or landscapes. An option for lovers of extravagant solutions, because such a covering is not suitable for every living room. Floral motifs are popular in country, ethno, and Provence styles. And images of people fit well into ultra-modern loft and fusion.
The design of the carpets in the hall can be more original. Nowadays, products made from several small elements of various shapes are at the peak of popularity. Also, specimens in the form of geometric shapes enjoy the well-deserved love of buyers.

Carpet with lines in the living room interior
Important! If you like models with patterns, pay attention to the clarity of the pattern. Are the lines unobtrusive and soft? The products will not “weight down” the interior. A carpet in the living room with a rich, bright pattern will somewhat brighten up the surroundings and draw all the attention to itself.
Top colors of carpets for living rooms
If you want a monochromatic coating, all you have to do is choose a color. Pastel shades visually enlarge the room, bright rich tones serve as harmonious accents, dark ones contrast well with light furniture and create an original background.
The color palette is somewhat limited. All shades of gray and brown look good in the living room. However, this is a classic. More extravagant options: rugs with green, pink, purple, black, and blue tones in the design.
It is better to avoid too bright flashy colors - they can cause overstrain of the nervous system. The living room is primarily a room for relaxation, so eye-catching shades are completely inappropriate here. You can choose original models that will definitely make the interior sparkle in a new way.
Are carpets needed in a modern interior?
In modern design, rugs are not a necessity, but not everyone decides to forgo this addition. In new projects, two main functions are assigned to the carpet:
- Practical. The additional floor covering serves primarily to retain heat. Not every apartment has the opportunity to install heated floors. In this case, its functions are performed by the carpet. But even with this system, additional coverage does not become superfluous.
- Aesthetic. When used correctly, this element becomes part of the decor and helps create a complete image.
As you can see, the functions of carpets are still relevant today. Now let’s choose a style suitable for such an accessory.
The carpet should not cover more than one third of the floor area
Creating the mood
Color creates a mood because it controls size and shape and skillfully plays with light. The floors and walls are often the largest visual spaces in a room, so choosing the right color for your rug is a very important step.
Color can be the main element of your decorating scheme or a deliberate subordinate element. In any case, underestimating the importance of the color wheel and the special effects created by color will be doomed to failure.
The color of the coating plays a big role in the overall style of the room.
Color circle
Consists of primary colors, secondary colors and shades or tones. The primary colors - red, blue and yellow - are “pure” colors. Combining the primary ones provides complementary colors.
Color circle
Primary and secondary colors are arranged in a circle in the spectrum. Each primary and secondary has different shades, which are in the spaces between the primary colors and reflect the dynamics of their change. Also, the function of the circle is to determine cool and warm shades. The colors on the blue and green side are cool, while the colors on the red and orange side are warm.

Combination
There are three ways to combine to create the scheme and mood of your home.
Beautiful floor covering
Tip Mix different tones of the same color. Use those that are on the circle next to each other. It is also advisable to use from opposite segments of the circle.
Color effects
The benefits of color effects can be used in different ways.
Tip Make a small room feel spacious by using soft cool ones. Like a rolling horizon in the morning haze, the soft color gives the impression of distance and therefore does not consume space.
Rich colors bring objects closer and therefore help make a large open room feel cozier and more intimate.
More brightness - more emotions
The Art of Disguise
Bulky elements in a room can be disguised with clever use. A large Victorian sofa upholstered in a dark color will appear less bulky and blend into the scheme of the room if the rug and walls are in similar shades.
When we match the tone
Increase the heat
A rug or other accessories—such as curtains or pillows—in warm colors will take the chill out of the room and create an abundance of energy.
Extra feeling of warmth
Raise your perception
Blending can provide a sense of height.
Use the darkest shade on the floor, the next shade on the walls and the lightest shade on the ceiling.

Create a feeling of peace
Choose a neutral to create a gentle, soft, tranquil environment, a sanctuary amid the frenetic pace of modern life. Pale colors are peaceful, serene and therapeutic. Eliminate visual stress and overstimulation with plain furniture.
Create a feeling of calm
Increase the sense of light
Use paler shades (colors with white added) to brighten a dark room. The reflective quality of white enhances the feeling of light and space more than any other.

Balance your palette
Colors that are directly opposite each other on the color wheel, such as blue and orange, can be used to complement each other. Use this method to create balance in your interior by incorporating warm and cool tones at the same time.

Plum and purple
They have a formal, almost regal association, however this is the result of cultural influence rather than their purpose in nature. While strong purple brings a dramatic touch to the interior, paler shades of lilac and lavender look subtle and delicate.
Royal association with purple
The color of sunshine and spring flowers, as well as pure yellow
Can be used to bring warmth and lightness to your home. It reflects light and can be used to brighten up a dim room. Tones of orange, brown and golden brown are warm, cozy colors.
Bright accents can liven up a base color scheme of neutral browns.
Warm and cozy golden
Green
The natural color of nature encourages introspection and tranquility - a mood suitable for the living room or bedroom.
Blue
The color of water and sky can be used to create a cool, spacious environment. Calm blue has a calming effect in rooms such as bedrooms and offices.
Adding some space
The blue spectrum is an excellent option for rooms that are located on the sunny side.
Neutral colors
Such as grey, beige and pale brown are soothing, creating a quiet, warm atmosphere. A palette of neutral shades can be used to offset other features in the room, such as brightly colored paintings or furnishings.
Warm atmosphere of gray carpet
Red
The color of fire is rich, warm and vibrant. It has pleasant qualities, but can be overly stimulating if used over large areas in frequently used rooms. Because red stimulates the appetite, it is a traditional choice for dining rooms.
Tip For less intensity, choose pink as it also suggests warmth.
Not everyone will choose a bright accent in the room.
Only by fully studying the color in a particular home can you truly be confident in your choice. The color of the other furniture in the room, as well as the amount of natural light, will influence how your rug looks.
Artificial light tends to produce "grey" colors, so test samples in both daylight and nightlight.

Remember that the entire perimeter of the rug will not look exactly the same as a small sample. The best way to see how it will look once installed is to look at the largest possible sample of the carpet on the floor it is intended for. Therefore, purchase a piece of carpet first . This length will serve you well later and will be invaluable when purchasing additional items or changing the layout in subsequent years.
We select slowly, using color samples
What color should I choose for the carpet?
You can highlight minimalist furniture and decorations with a brightly colored rug. You can bet on fashionable green (bottle shade, emerald, khaki), mustard, dark blue and even red. In brightly decorated interiors, pastel colors such as soft blue or pastel pink work well. On the other hand, if you often like to change the style and color of your four corners, choose a rug in a neutral color, such as gray or beige. This will allow you to match it to almost any interior.
The color of the carpet must match all the colors used in the design of a particular interior. It should also match the color of the floor. Correctly selected in color, it can shape the visual perception of the interior in which it will be located. A light-colored rug will make the room feel more spacious. By choosing a dark-colored rug, you will optically make it look smaller. The color will also depend on the purpose of the rug. The pattern is also important. Remember that the more patterns there are in the room, the less patterned the rug should be.
Manufacturing materials.
Nowadays carpets are made from dozens of materials – natural and synthetic.
- The former
are invariably luxurious and have all the advantages of natural origin: naturalness, pleasant texture and authenticity.
These are sheep's wool, silk and cotton, and bamboo.
- Cotton
is another type of natural material that is used in the production of carpets. Cotton models are often used in rooms with high humidity levels, as they absorb moisture well. If we compare the tactile sensations with woolen models, cotton ones are softer, but a pure cotton carpet is not found; wool is often added.
Exotic options include
bamboo, jute, seaweed, etc. These coatings are considered exclusively expensive. This category of floor coverings includes models made of genuine leather, which are made by stitching together individual pieces and do not last very long.
- Silk is perhaps the most expensive material in the production of carpets. The product looks stylish, shimmers in the sun, and is pleasant to the touch. An inexpensive analogue is viscose, which looks like silk (also shines).

– practical and hypoallergenic.
For example, acrylic or polyester, nylon, polypropylene.
- Acrylic . It is called artificial wool because the material has the characteristics of a natural covering. It is pleasant to the touch, not static, repels moisture and mold, but is less wear-resistant.
- Polypropylene . Another material reminiscent of natural wool. It is easy to care for, easy to clean, lightweight, and comes in many rich colors.
- Polyester . Models with high pile that look like wool look rich. The material is less elastic than acrylic, but lasts longer.
- Nylon . Great for high-traffic areas, such as the hallway, as well as for the kitchen, where there is a high probability of frequent contamination.

3. And there are also new generation materials
, which combine the beauty and tactile tenderness of nature with strength.
They are made from natural fiber using chemical and mechanical processing. These are the most environmentally friendly materials available today, organically pure and safe. These include art silk, modal, tencel, eucalyptus and bamboo silk.
- Art silk is an artificial silk that is visually and tactilely almost indistinguishable from natural silk, but is noticeably more affordable in price. That's why it's so loved by designers and home owners!
Nowadays, the most fashionable modern carpets are woven from art silk to decorate designer interiors. They are especially good for styles that combine elegance and gloss - such as Bauhaus, modern classics and art deco.
- Eucalyptus silk is an innovative material obtained from eucalyptus cellulose through nanoprocessing. In beauty and softness it is not inferior to natural silk, and in its practicality it is completely superior to it.
Eucalyptus silk is damage resistant and durable. Therefore, in recent years it has been used everywhere: clothes, bed linen and, of course, carpets are made from it.
