Functional Focus
STANTON Dottie
Perhaps one of the most important themes in carpet
styles this year is the idea of functional focus. Your
carpet should not only be stylishly you but also serve
a bigger purpose: providing comfortable and durable
living underfoot. Doing almost everything at home, from
workouts to office work, means that your flooring needs
to be able to support your active lifestyle.
Statement-Making
Patterns
One way to elevate your carpet style is to choose
a pattern. For the more daring, this could be
a boldly contrasting polka-dot like Stanton’s
Dottie. For a stunning look that’s a little more
subtle, there are many patterns available in tonal
shades. These options provide beautiful style
but also fade appropriately into the background
to allow other décor items to shine. For a
more organic vibe, we love the deconstructed
patterns of Passage to Stillness in Frost from the
Passages by Tigressá collection. These patterns
are reminiscent of a favorite well-worn rug and
add a cozy-chic element to your space. When
a little more formality is in order, a structured
pattern like passage to Serenity or Passage to
Wanderlust, also from the Passages by Tigressá
collection, makes a perfectly poised statement.
function
The good news is that durability is in! Along with the
focus on natural elements this season, easy-to-clean
carpets that are made of nonporous materials are making
a comeback. This calls to mind specific carpets that are
stain-resistant, waterproof, and pet-proof. This practical
trend is due to consumers looking to control what they
can and striving to make their space as comfortable,
functional, and operable as possible.
Not only can carpeting add an element of function to
your home design, but it’s also an affordable alternative
to the more expensive flooring options like traditional
hardwood, porcelain tile, and luxury vinyl plank.
In past years, hard surface floors like waterproof luxury
vinyl and engineered hardwood have been a staple in
the retail flooring market. This year, many designers are
looking to custom area rugs to tie spaces together and
make them more comfortable to live and work in.
