COLOURFUL CHARACTER

Carpet can come in any hue, “but because carpet is a long-term investment, it’s unlikely anyone is going to install yellow carpets to match Pantone’s colour of the year,” says Nicole. That said, trends for 2021/22 will centre on warm, earthy tones and chunky textures (as below). “We’re heading away from charcoals and shiny metallics and going for calming, lighter natural tones, including terracotta, as well as thicker piles. Plain carpets are still on-trend, but with more texture and depth.” >
