Carpet Trends – Geometry, Optical Illusions & Dark Ambience

Carpets are emerging more and more as the focal point in many interior designs. While hard surfaces, such as concrete, tiles and timber offer a clean, modern finish, the comfort, warmth and high design factor offered by carpets are unrivaled. They are a playground of opportunities for designers, architects and artists.

Ege Carpets has pointed out some of the newest, most intriguing floor design trends for your inspiration.

Optical Illusions

A big trend in carpets and flooring is about creating depth and perspective in two-dimensional surfaces – often through optical illusions. The trend is seen in both rugs and wall-to-wall carpets. This trend is a subtrend to the ‘geometrical megatrend’ we currently see in design, with traces of influence from pop art from the 60s.Geometric Patterns

Geometric pattern is a super trend that only gets stronger, practically seen on all surfaces these days – from wood and laminates to metal and fabrics. There is a strong focus on essential and primary shapes such as triangles, circles, rectangles, cubes and cylinders. The inspiration for this is primarily from the early 20s modernist movements – constructivism, cubism etc.Dark Ambient

Dark tones ranging from blue, green and purple are the preferred colours for creating dark and luxurious spaces. This seems to be a growing trend, and carpets are often seen in monochrome dark colours to reinforce the mood. CONTACT EGE CARPETS
