I can't believe I am saying this, but carpeted flooring is cool again. I know it may not be what you were expecting, but it turns out the retro look is not always grounds for removal. In fact, a bold color spanning wall-to-wall can be a chic design statement. However, don't be mistaken, there are still right and wrong ways to install carpet in your interior, and color has a lot to do with getting it right.
Where we once wanted to hide the fact a room was carpeted by choosing a light carpet color, contemporary carpet trends are embracing a bit more drama and creativity by going dark. Designer and founder of Art+Loom, Samantha Gallacher, says, "A darker carpet can be grounding and contrast beautifully against lighter walls, creating a more balanced look." Samantha adds, "It can also help hide dirt, wear, and stains in high-traffic areas."
