Monika McCommon, SVP of brand atStark, suggests people are fatigued with muted carpeting.
During the pandemic, we saw the rise of neutrals, she shares.
Geremia agrees, I think people want to play more with color.
Also, many of my clients spend lots of time on the floor with kids or love lower furniture.
Its both stimulating and cozy to use carpet, she says.
Geremia also notes that it could be a collective return to old-school aesthetics.
When exploring the history of colored carpet, its essential to delve into its textured beginnings.
The concept of carpeting an entire room started gaining traction in the 20s and 30s.
My first apartment after college, in 1977, was a gnarly $140-a-month, fifth-floor walkup.
It was a one-bedroom tenement in Soho with a tub in the kitchen, she recalls.
For 45 years now, I have always incorporated grass green carpet into my homes.
When I got sick of only green in the 90s, I added bright orange carpet to my repertoire.
When asked how to grab the right color for carpeting, Britt Zunino ofStudio DBsuggests being mindful of tones.
The entire palette of the room should be considered when installing colored carpeting, she shares.
Its successful when the carpet is tonal and the entire roomincluding the ceilinghas a wash of color.
I love making a bold statement and leaning into a rich color on the floor.
DesignerZoe Feldmanagrees that colored carpet creates a unique foundation.
Carpets can enhance the jewel-box feel of a space and add another layer of interest, she shares.
Carpets dont have to be permanent.
Colored carpet can ignite the life of a room and doesn’t need to read loud.
It can act as a neutral as you take in the rest of the space.
DesignerTali Rothshares this perspectiveand wholeheartedly embraces the move away from beige floor coverings.
