2019 has a lot going for it!

So we thought it would be fun to give you our top 5 trends that make 2019 the year  for new flooring!!

Take Notice Trend #1: BUY U.S.A. MADE!

Did you know?

Our Carpeting is made right here in the U.S.A.!

That is probably why carpeting is still the #1 choice for flooring!

Our Tarkett Permastone Line is made in Florence, Alabama

(read more about it here)

Take Notice Trend #2: Smooth is classic but 2019 is all about TEXTURE!!

From wire brushed, distressed and hand-scraped…..texture is where it is at!

Beautiful Tarkett Laminate in a distressed or hand-scraped look is definitely the trend for this year or maybe you’re looking for hardwood?

Well, we have you covered!

Check out Anderson Hardwood’s Colonial Manor – beautiful and durable.

 

Take Notice Trend #3 – Coastal Decor!

One color that is taking 2019 in waves is green!

From Aegean Teal to Fort Pierce Green…..These soft coastal colors can add a splash!

Keep it simple! From a simple throw blanket to some soft green pillows….the coastal trend is an easy way to update any space!

Looking for inspiration? Check out The Creativity Exchange for ideas!

 

 

 

 

Take Notice Trend #4 – Herringbone!

LVT reigned supreme in 2018 and while this excellent product is still going strong in 2019….the idea of laying has been tweaked a bit!

And if vinyl flooring is more your style – especially since it is so easy to clean and incredibly affordable – IVC has some amazing Herringbone Styles to choose from!

Oooo….how about an updated back splash in a beautiful Herringbone Pattern?

 

Take Notice Trend #5 – Eco Friendly Flooring!

Here at The Carpet House, Inc., we take being kind to our environment very seriously! Which is why we were one of the first in the area to offer Mohawk’s Smart strand Carpets and Godfrey Hirst Wool Carpet! Both of these products are excellent choices for the E Friendly Home Owner!

CHALK PAINT IDEA #2:
PAINT a whole WALL!!  At first I was a bit skeptical of going BIG, but look at how awesome this is.

I love the contrast of the black wall with the white trim! And I also love the idea of writing fun sayings, inspirational quotes and seasonal stuff on the wall.
