Neutral carpet colors like grey will rise to the top in 2020. That’s great news for lots of homeowners, since neutral colors are easy to incorporate into any type of style or theme. Whether your style is beach house, Boho, or something in between, it’s effortless to coordinate a sophisticated grey color scheme in any room of your home.
Not into neutrals? Then try out another emerging trend: vivid shades of blue. Choose solid colors, funky ombre patterns, or carpets that give you the best of both worlds — as long as they feature a blue (or two), it’s hard to go wrong following these carpet color trends for 2020. Here are some of the hottest 2020 carpet colors to incorporate into your bedroom, living room, guest room, or rec room:
Texture refers to the way that a surface feels (or looks like it feels). For example, low-pile carpets are made using short, tight loops of fabric, which gives them a smooth and uniform appearance. High-pile styles, such as shag carpets, use looser and larger loops of fabric, creating a fluffier, more luxurious texture. Some carpets, known as “textured carpets,” are deliberately cut to differing lengths, producing a range of textures on a single carpet.
Since both types have unique features, the choice comes down to your personal tastes and what’s most important for you. For example, if you’re looking for low-maintenance options, low-pile styles might suit your needs better. A variety of low-pile and high-pile types of carpet are trending for 2020, making it easy to find an option that checks every box on your list of requirements. Some popular carpet textures this year include:

Unlike carpeting, which generally covers the entire floor of a room, rugs are small, decorative pieces used to cover a specific area. While carpets are fixed to the flooring beneath with adhesives that should only be removed by a professional, rugs can be picked up and moved at will. Lightweight and versatile, rugs can be placed on top of carpeting, hardwood floors, luxury vinyl floors, or any other type of flooring in your home or apartment.
