We're seeing a definite trend toward fashion in carpet. Textures, different types of yarn systems, different colorations, patterns, tone-on-tone prints, looped carpet, tip shears anything that has interest or fashion seems to be very accepted.
Navy and true blue remain important and will become more diverse, influencing purples and greens. Soft shades of aqua--the water colors that have performed so strongly in recent years--continue to be a mainstay. You'll also see unusual combinations as blue-greens are paired with rich browns, yellow-greens, and vivid red-oranges.
