In many of the industry magazines it has been noted recently that sales of striped carpets have burgeoned by up to 200 per cent this year as influences from the fashion industry continue to find there way into interior design, providing brilliant, hip flooring options for the homestead.

In recent times carpet has been a material that interior designers have enjoyed incorporating within their designs as an integral feature, as it adds an element of style and warmth that moves beyond aesthetics. Its the single thing people frequently comment on after experiencing carpet used this way even if they have a preference for a different type of flooring.

It has been noted by one interior designer that people are looking for something that is a bit out of the ordinary and have the desire to make their homes unique whilst still remaining cutting edge.

The year just gone saw a revival of 70s style across the board. High-waisted, wide leg trousers and floaty, floral maxi dresses litter the fashion magazines, while Eagles and Led Zeppelin concerts are as popular as they ever were. In terms of the home, Shagpile carpet flooring and deep shades of Biba-esque purple are becoming top trends in the interior design world.

Replacing a carpet due to general wear and tear can be a great excuse to revitalise your living space. People often notice that carpets become worn in those areas which people walk over the most, which why its important to carefully consider what carpet you choose for these areas. The Fun on the Floor campaign is a great example of how different kinds of carpet can be so effective at completely transforming different parts of a home and giving people inspiration for interior design ideas..
