6 Carpet Trends for 2025 That Will Transform Every Room in Your Home

Carpet is making a serious comeback this year—whether you love it or you're still having flashbacks to shag-covered living rooms from the 70s. Don't worry, though. This revival isn’t about bringing back wall-to-wall beige.

Instead, the focus is on natural fibers, soft neutrals, and subtle textures that add warmth without overwhelming a space. Wool, jute, and sisal are just some of the materials that designers are choosing for their durability and sustainability.

The return of carpet fits right into the broader trend of creating inviting, tactile interiors. Designers are leaning into spaces that feel lived-in yet polished, and natural fiber rugs help strike that balance. They bring depth and softness without looking dated, and with a renewed focus on eco-friendly design, they’re also a smart alternative to synthetic flooring. Here, we spoke to interior designers about these and other carpet trends that will define 2025.

Sisal Bubbleweave Carpet

In a surprising twist, sisal bubbleweave carpets are making a comeback. “The natural fibers of sisal bring a grounding element to a space,” says Alyssa Anselmo, interior architect and founder of Anva Studio. The raised weave adds extra depth while maintaining a clean, contemporary vibe.

These carpets are perfect for busy areas like hallways or living rooms, where durability is key, but where style still matters. The texture adds just enough pattern to make the floor interesting, without overpowering the rest of the room. “It’s a great way to incorporate some subtle design,” Anselmo adds.

Carpeted Staircases

Want to make your staircase stand out? Carpets are the secret weapon. From bold borders to patterned runners, in 2025, stairs are no longer just functional—they’re a chance to showcase style.

Beyond looks, carpeted stairs add warmth and cut down on noise, making them a smart choice for busy homes. Anselmo recommends a colorful edge or a subtle pattern, which will give your staircase a more polished, intentional feel.

Soft Geometric Patterns

Want a modern carpet that won’t go out of style in the new year? Soft geometric patterns are a great choice. “They add structure and balance without feeling too bold,” says Gabriela Vargas, interior designer at Double Rugs.

In a bedroom, a geometric rug in muted tones can act as a subtle anchor, complementing linen bedding and natural wood finishes. In a living room, pair one of these carpets with warm neutrals. “This pattern works especially well with warm, earthy tones, like terracotta and sage,” Vargas adds.

Earth Tones

Warm, earthy neutrals are dominating interiors this year, and carpets are no exception. These tones create a soothing, grounded atmosphere that's a restful, welcoming foundation for any space.

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, earth tones are also great at hiding everyday wear and tear. And who doesn’t love a color that’s as practical as it is pretty? "As the shift moves toward more tactile, textured spaces, earth tones offer versatility, easily complementing a variety of styles, from minimalist to boho," says Vargas.

Moroccan Patterns

Moroccan carpets are making a strong return this year, and they’re perfect for adding luxury with a practical twist. These designs feature bold geometric shapes and intricate motifs, creating depth and a sense of intrigue.

Use Moroccan rugs as a statement piece in your living room, bedroom, or hallway. They’ll not only stand out visually, but they'll also help tie together a space.

Area Rugs

Area rugs never go out of style, but they're especially relevant in 2025. "Layering them over carpet adds a new dimension to the space, and allows you to create different zones in larger rooms," says Vargas. They’re also a smart way to transition between different flooring types, like hardwood, tile, or concrete.

In open-plan layouts, you can use these rugs strategically to keep the interior flow intact. Plus, you can easily switch them out to update your space with the seasons.
