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!

Rustic Bathrooms worth Loving!

Posted on 16 Mar 2018 by The Carpet House, Inc.

‘Farmhouse Rustic’ is a trend that many believe took the place of the early 2000’s ‘Shabby Chic’ explosion. The idea of Upcycling the old into new is certainly at the heart of the “Farmhouse Rustic’ style. While the “Farmhouse Rustic’ style can aptly be used in every room of your house, Fireplaces and Bathroom seem to highlight the strengths of this decorating trend.

Insidecorate is a great website highlighting the Farmhouse Rustic style! If you are looking for inspiration and have a time on your hands….pop on over to their website.

Short on time? We took our favorite five “Farmhouse Rustic Bathrooms” and featured them below. Enjoy!

11-Farmhouse-Rustic-Master-Bathroom-Remodel-Ideas

Farmhouse Rustic Bathroom #1:

This rustic theme features a galvanized water trough up-cycled into a Bathtub as it’s centerpiece. With a soft and elegant white on white color scheme, the touches of green and browns create a touch of perfection!

Farmhouse Rustic Bathroom #2

True to the roots of the “Farmhouse Rustic’ style: this up-cycled distressed dresser is gorgeous! The hammered brushed nickel sinks add the ‘Wow’ factor that is well worth copying and can we just say the light fixtures are amazing. What a wonderful example to up-cycling!!

Farmhouse Rustic Bathroom #3

Beautiful rustic subway tile in a classic white and grey look complements the wood grain tile of the floor. The simple white and grey color scheme is indicative of the ‘Rustic Farmhouse’ style and brilliantly featured by this beautiful bathroom!

Farmhouse Rustic Bathroom #4

The contrast between Farmhouse Rustic Bathroom #3 and #4 is exactly why so many people are drawn to this decorating style. This style can be interpreted so many ways. This beautiful bathroom features rustic barn board ceramic on the walls that harmonizes well with the brick pattern on the shower floor. The custom stone bench and glass shower doors are a the perfect blend of function and beauty.

Farmhouse Rustic Bathroom #5

Soft grey shiplap walls are complimented by the natural wood vanity delicately topped with a bright white farmhouse style sink create a bathroom masterpiece. The stencil ceramic tile floor add just the right of pop and creativity to this Farmhouse Rustic bathroom.

Bathrooms are a portal to relaxation, calm and serenity!

Unless your bathroom doesn’t look like this……

ugly bathroom — https://www.flickr.com/photos/akbuthod/2851965302/

and instead looks like this?!?!

So how do you get your bathroom from “Woah….that’s scary!” To

“Wow! That’s spectacular!”

We have a few blogs that took a scary or underwhelming bathroom and turned it into an amazing bathroom retreat!!

Provident Home Design did a great job in this powder bathroom redo!

One tip I love is that knockoffs are awesome! If you see a mirror you fall in love with but it is $700 why not try to make it yourself for a fraction of the cost?

Don’t think you can do it? Well why not check out the local goodwill or salvation army. You would be surprised what knockoffs you can create with a thrift find and a can of spray paint!!

This blog has all sorts of tips, tutorials and if you’re looking for style inspiration…so when looking for decorating help….look no further! Provident Home Design Bathroom Redo

Next is a fantastic bathroom DIY before and after project!

Persnickety Plates is an adorable blog.

Melissa shows the redo of various projects done. Like us here at the Carpet House, she loves a good before and after post! This post of her bathroom redo lives up to high standards!

This post highlights the redo of her bathroom. As she says it is not to big but not small by any accounts….so finding the right color choices was important.

What we liked best about this post is her choice of paint and floor tile! Grey is the new trend and her photos highlight how beautiful and calm the right color grey can be.

Interested in learning more about the 2016 Color Trends…..we have a post about that!

Stop over and check it out!

2016 Color Trends.

Our next blog that has a pretty fantastic DIY Redo is The Handmade Home. For Ashley and her husband Jmnin, it all started with a bit of mold in the bathroom.

The bathroom went from choppy and dated to open and airy. The closed in shower was opened up with glass doors and the dated tan tile was transformed with beautiful white wall tiles and a beautiful mosaic tile floor.

This Redo made our list because of the detail included in the blog/article. Pictures show just how damaging one leak can be and how in-depth a full bathroom remodel can get.

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?!?

Backsplash Beauty & Elegance!

Posted on 8 Sep 20158 Sep 2015 by The Carpet House, Inc.

Arabesque Ceramic Tile is the latest trend among designers and homeowners. It is easy to see why…with its graceful lines and subtle pattern. This is the type of ceramic that never goes out of style.

While more expensive than a traditional glazed ceramic, this style is worth the extra expense because it adds just the right touch of beauty and sophistication.
This is the tile that when people walk in your home and see it, they walk out trying to find a place in their own home to imitate it!
It’s that beautiful!

At The Carpet House, we carry a georgeous line of Abaresque Ceramic. Here are a few samples….

The darker and bolder colors are simply amazing when installed on a backsplash!

So if you are in search of a beautiful classic way to spruce up your kitchen, stop in and ask to see our Abaresque Tile!!
