The new year is in, and with it our expectations for interior design are evolving to encompass a whole new way of thinking. Furniture will be more functional, materials more natural, and colors fresh and eye-catching. You can expect the superior carpets, area rugs, and flooring here at Windows Floors & Decor to reflect the top flooring and carpet trends for 2016, with plenty of classic favorites to choose from as well.
Bring the Outdoors In with Natural Fibers
Nothing freshens up a room like new flooring or carpeting. Start spring early with bamboo and hardwood flooring, or choose carpets and rugs made of natural fibers, like 100% organic cotton. Wool carpets add texture and depth to your decor, and go well with almost any design scheme. You can even choose from a variety of wood-colored vinyl and laminate flooring options, and stone tiles add a touch of natural elegance to bathrooms, kitchens, and even patios.
Try an Alternative Weave, Texture, or Material
As earth-friendliness becomes a national obsession, alternative materials such as seagrass or sisal are more practical and sustainable materials for beautiful, natural-looking rugs and area rugs. But if you prefer something a little more traditional, you can try a carpet with alternative weaves and interesting textures to add a bold and fresh touch to your home. Hand-knotted and hooked weaves, for instance, add a little bit of interest without overpowering other design elements of an area, while a braided rug is an excellent choice for kitchens, hallways, and other areas that need an attractive but durable rug.
Go Vintage with Soft Tones, Comfortable Weaves, and Unexpected Accents
Vintage will be all the rage in 2016, with spontaneity and surprising blends of past and present leading as design trends, and all you need just the right carpet to bring the vintage look together in your home. Cool blues, pale greens, and soft creams add a touch of vintage feminine beauty to bedrooms and living areas. Use heavier woods like oak or maple for the dining room, kitchen, and hallways to complete the modern but nostalgic feel of any home.
Renovate with a Passion
Renovations and restorations have been regaining popularity among homeowners for several years, as more people are looking for more affordable housing options, and that trend will stay strong throughout 2016. Replace old and warped boards with similar but fresher hardwood flooring, and modernize kitchens with energy-saving appliances, countertops that double as cutting boards, and beautiful stone or glass tile. Choose carpets that help make the air cleaner, such as wool carpets, and simply but interestingly patterned rugs to bring a modern flair to the restoration.
