2019 Take Notice Trends!

Posted on 7 Jan 20197 Jan 2019 by The Carpet House, Inc.

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!

For the love of green!

Posted on 19 Jan 2018 by The Carpet House, Inc.

Experts have unquestionably agreed upon the 2018’s home decorating top trend! “Green”

2018 Paint Pick!

I love green! So this up and coming 2018 trend has me excited!

According to pinterest the hottest decorating paint color for 2018 is “Sage”

While grey tones are still popular the industry has seen a shift…..many customers wanting a muted alternative to grey. Such as Glidden’s “Prairie Sage” a beautiful color that is perfect for the whole house.

green sofas

Want to go bold?

Velvet sofa’s are a beautiful new trend for 2018 and why not stick with “Green!”

These affordable green velvet sofas add a pop of color and really bring life to any room. From the formal living room to a bedroom loveseat….you can find any style to find any room.

2018 “Pop of Color” trend!

pops of color This is such a fun trend because you don’t need a celebrity style budget to yield some pretty amazing results!

Pick a color: for my examples I will use “Green!”

Pick your Pop: Throw pillows, vintage candle sticks, vases, blown glass, plants, fruit bowls, etc. plants

Last but not least, adding a pop of color to your flooring!

From stair runners to wall to wall flooring……a beautiful color can add touch of beauty to any home!

So when thinking a bit outside the box…..be bold and try a pop of color in your flooring.

You might be surprised how much you love it!

Reclaim Bathroom DIY IDEAS that we LOVE!!

Posted on 11 Sep 201516 Sep 2015 by The Carpet House, Inc.

Take an old pallet and use them to create a beautiful focus wall!! What a fantastic way to bring that WOW factor to a half bath.

Vintage is awesome and this idea has my wheels spinning. Taking a vintage bicycle and upcycling it into a vanity is stunning….and take a look at how they used the bicycle basket. ❤

I am a huge fan of antique furniture, so this idea of using a side table as a vanity is love at first sight!

The key to a beautiful bathroom is first impressions and this reclaimed barn door has it all! BEAUTIFUL!!

Last but not least, little touches like this make reclaimed DIY projects so much fun! How can you resist such a neat idea?!?

Stairway ideas that WOW!!

Posted on 7 Aug 20157 Aug 2015 by The Carpet House, Inc.

Stairways!!!
They can be a source of inspiration or decorating frustration. So we thought a few ideas might help turn that source of creative conundrum into a fountain of “I can totally do this!”

First: Does your family have a special saying, quote or scripture that exemplifies your family or home? Why not use those risers to inspire and express it!

BEAUTIFUL!!

Second source of inspiration: Rustic is fabulous! Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Its amazing what a touch of reclaimed wood can do to a dead space! And it looks georgeous!

Third bit to inspire: Lighting! I know right? Who knew something so obvious could have this much of a Wow effect!

Fourth Fantastic idea: Texture or patterned wallpaper. Take the mundane and make it extraordinary. With little expense and a little more effort this idea has impressive results.

Last but not least: Creative Combinations. I stumbled upon this beauty months ago on pinterest. Its files in my “Inspirations for the home I will never build.” The idea of combining wood and file is stunning.

Keep your eyes out for more inspirations and feel free to share your ideas! Or let us know which inspiration is your favorite.

WOOL CARPET: not your grandmas floor…..

Posted on 27 Jul 201527 Jul 2015 by The Carpet House, Inc.

Here at The Carpet House, we take pride in offering our customers the very best in flooring. From the latest design trends to quality flooring that wows!

That is why we are pleased to be the only one in our region to carry Godfrey Hirst Wool Carpet.
What is so special about wool?
Quite a bit!
1st – Wool is eco friendly and a renewable resource. Made from wool sheered from new Zealand sheep!
2nd – Wool is amazingly durable. The old saying is ” You’ll wear out before wool carpet does!” For a fraction higher in cost than standard PET or NYLON fiber…wool carpet has a longevity that the other two fibers can’t even come close to!!
3rd – Wool is hypoallergenic! Wool naturally inhibits the growth of dust mites and mold!
So if you are looking for an investment in luxury, durability and style….check out our selection of Godfrey Hirst Wool Carpet.
