Carpet in the Spotlight: Color and Style Trends Emerging for 2005
This trend is helping to fuel new carpet styles that are more inspiring, sophisticated and bolder in pattern and design. The carpet industry is proactively responding to these trends, which means we could see some surprising color palettes over the next 18 to 24 months.
As expected, the predominant color base during 2004 has been an array of anchoring, gray-based colors with muted, soft greens and subtle, gray-based blues playing a strong role. This gray-based scheme reflects stability, safety and strength in power, which over the past two years have been areas of heightened importance to Americans.
