Neutrals will always play an important role in great design. But for 2016, beige is just as boring as ever. Tastes are skewing towards warmer tones of taupe or interesting variations on gray with undertones of blue, green, or brown.

Designers and consumers are looking beyond beige for colors and styles that have the same versatility without the yawn factor:

Blues and Greens as Neutrals

Slate blue, faded moss green, and other soft blue and green tones are being chosen for carpets in place of actual neutrals. Few buyers want eye-popping colors that they will grow tired of, but rather muted colors that coordinate easily.

Texture in Place of Pattern

Striations, ribbing, marbled effects and other textural effects are drawing plenty of attention. Textured patterns hide stains and wear and tear. It also avoids looking dated or difficult to complement with decor.

Timeless Geometrics

After a long fad of heavy-handed patterns like chevron and herringbone, the carpet trends have settled on less showy and more timeless geometric patterns. Think low-contrast, two-tone designs like a subtle windowpane pattern.

Keeping up with the trends meaning being able to physically move inventory around to have the popular styles ready to show and sell.

A carpet roll caddy simplifies the process of moving carpets around the warehouse and showroom, or out to delivery trucks. Instead of several employees risking back injury with manual labor, just one employee can handle the load with a battery-powered carpet roll caddy that assists with lifting and placing the item.
