With all of this attention, area rugs are becoming the new fashion inspiration and home decorating trend for 2014. With more people choosing hardwood and tile as the primary flooring in their homes, area rugs provide warmth, definition, enhance aesthetic appeal and add the finishing touch to any room.
Bold and beautiful
Dramatic rugs are becoming the main design focal point for the room. Think multicolour patterns, vibrant colour and bold stripes.

Patterns
The selection of patterned rugs has increased dramatically due to new manufacturing techniques and retro designs trends. When we use the term patterned, we aren’t just referring to printed or woven designs. We are also referring to the patterns that are created by using varying loop and tuft lengths. Angular patterns like geometric shapes, zigzagging stripes are helping to create striking and daring designs.
Eco-friendly
Organic carpets and rugs are very much in fashion for 2014. Sisal, raffia and sea grass rugs offer a long wearing and rugged natural look using earthy color tones. For a softer more sophisticated look pure wool carpets with rich neutral tones are very popular.
