Cinderella Carpet One in Salinas has
released their 2014 Flooring Trends based on data compiled from sales trends as
well as expert insights from industry partners. Although flooring trends tend
to be more subtle than the trends for more replaceable home décor items such as
paint and furnishings; this year’s flooring trends offer new ideas while
remaining versatile for future home décor trends.
At
Cinderella Carpet One we take pride in helping our customers stay on trend and
create beautiful rooms in their homes.
We want to ensure that the flooring we install for our customers fits
their personality and style.
In
2014, the color gray is the trending options for a neutral carpet. Beige
is still one of the top choices, but shades of gray - from light gray to steel
gray and everything in between – are becoming increasingly popular.
For
colored flooring, vivacious colors from recent years will be getting softer for
2014. Less saturated hues will result in a look that is more livable and
has longevity. Look for Coral, Poppy and Sienna to pair beautifully with Aqua,
Teal and Turquoise. Warm neutrals make for an earthy palette. Shades of Spice
and Orange give new life to the Red, Brown, Gold palettes. Grey has become
warmer and more neutral therefore pairing beautifully with Buttery Gold, Coral,
Indigo and Aqua. Non-acidic greens such as Jade and Mint are very important as
are berry-inspired Reds & Purples.
Patterned
carpets will become increasingly popular. These patterned floors are not
printed, multi-colored patterns, but rather patterns created through the
manufacturing process and the way the carpet is tufted. Vine patterns and
squares are two of the more popular patterns.
Look
for deep, dark stains, blacks and even grays in 2014 hardwood
looks. Wood with more character and texturing - not just
hand-scraping, but also wire brush detail – will offer more unique flooring
options. Broader variations in graining and color will also be big in
2014. The color difference within flooring will be enormous – a deep coffee
color with a blond variation in the same species of wood creates a unique look.
Vinyl
tile is becoming very popular and will continue to grow in 2014. Vinyl tile has
many benefits. It is less costly to install than stone and tile and, it is
softer and warmer underfoot. Technology has helped improve the realism of the
product and 2014’s are surprisingly good substitutes for the real thing.
Similar
trends and colors can be found in area rugs as well — bold colors, graphic
patterns, and gray neutrals. For those hesitant about incorporating a new trend
in flooring, an area rug is a more cost effective and less permanent option.
