1.Slate

Dark grey carpet was absolutely huge in 2023, and it’s still the number one carpet colour choice for Motto for 2024! If you’re searching for a carpet colour that hides dirt while also looking luxurious, dark grey is the answer. This moody and magnificent colour is the perfect shade to pair with a dusky blue, or a stark white, or even a soft black to create a deep, bold colour scheme for your home.

You can use slate as a neutral backdrop for vibrant accents or pair it with other neutral palettes like white or beige. Use this shade to create a sense of continuity throughout your home. Slate can serve as a base for creating focal points with other design elements like colourful wall art or artwork.

Colour drenching is going to be big in 2025 – that’s using the same colour across your walls, ceiling, and floor. A dark grey room with dark furniture and just a few metallic accent pieces to catch the light will make any space feel cosy and inviting.

2.Cream

Thanks to stain resistance technology, it seems we’re becoming more open to the idea of a cream carpet in our home. In the last year, there has been a 23% increase in searches for cream carpets. Seems like there are people interested in bringing this gentle neutral into their décor.

A cream carpet can make a room feel bright and airy. It reflects light well, which can make spaces appear more open and welcoming, particularly in rooms with limited natural light. The timeless shade works well in minimalist and Scandinavian-style interiors.

Natural stone and cream tones is a trend you’ll be seeing a lot of in 2025. Pairing cream-toned carpets with wooden accents, terracotta accessories, and stone elements helps to create a grounded and calming space. Use earthy colours on the walls and a touch of greenery to complete this organic look.

3.Beige

Earthy neutrals like beige have seen a 22% increase in 2024 and show no signs of stopping for 2025.

A beige carpet offers that perfect balance of style and practicality. It’s a blank canvas for any style of décor and looks equally good in new and older homes. Mix with black accessories for a modern monochrome scheme or use warm woods and antique gold touches for a traditional luxe look.

Beige is a key colour in the upcoming textured tones trend. It’s about blending together different textures and warming up your colour palette to create a welcoming retreat. Think panelled walls, herringbone floors and super soft carpets combined with nature-inspired tones.
