Hot home design trends for 2015
1. Add a touch of luxury: We’ve seen a lot of design trends leaning towards the idea of adding a bit of texture to a room. Something soft and luxurious underfoot can literally change the feel of a room. Area rugs are the perfect way to take advantage of this design trend. Look for a plush rug that matches your existing decor and you’ll make a big impact without a big expense.
2. It’s all about the blues: Blue is a hot color this year – especially deep, bold blues. People are often afraid to take advantage of a color trend because they can quickly seem dated. However, if you put that trend in a tasteful area rug – you’re able to add a bold statement that will look good for years to come. There are many shades of blues from deep navy blue to brighter cobalt. Our free design staff can help you find just the right shade that complements your home and updates it all at the same time.
3. Create an international feel: This trend is made for area rugs. Accents from Asian and northern African countries – think Morocco, Egypt, Turkey – are popular design trends right now. Many beautiful area rugs come from this area of the world and their distinct designs and patterns are a beautiful addition to any home.

Different villages and countries tended to produce distinctly different rugs. The unique designs became a hallmark of that region and have resulted in a tremendous selection of colors, styles and techniques today. Learn more about area rugs from our free online buyer’s guide.
