Waterproof
Though ideal for any space in your home, the latest 100% waterproof materials would make a great addition to your bathroom. Imagine how happy your toes will be when they feel warm, soft, welcoming fibers underfoot as you step out of the shower. The wonderful thing is, these improved fibers won't soak up liquids, stain, or get moldy. And, yes, they will last for years to come!

Cut and Loop
What do you get when you blend cuts and loops? Stylish patterns and unique textures. Have you ever looked at interesting, highly contrasted flooring fibers, and run your hand along the surface to feel its textures? Probably, that was cut and loop fibers, as they create a blend of contrasts. No matter the floor type, patterns are all the rage at the moment, and these cut and loop patterned surfaces have been increasing in popularity as of late.

Tiles
With tiles, gone are the days where you had to remove wall-to-wall, when one section was ruined! For families with kids and pets, this is a huge breakthrough. Fido chews up the corner of the rug? No worries, we'll just replace that section. And presto, pristine surfacing! Also, these tiles are ultra trendy for basements, areas that experience a fair amount of moisture and humidity. Depending upon the carpet store, you'll be able to find types that are water-resistant or waterproof.

Ombre and Multi-Color
Color-wise, in the flooring world, there's two big hits: Multi-color and ombre fibers. While multi-color may sound like a crazed, rainbow-like explosion, we're actually referring to legitimate luxury fiber trends in varying and sophisticated color combinations. Aside from multi, the ombre look is in, though you may have some difficulty finding this option, as it does depend upon which carpet warehouse you visit.
