Interior design trends are moving toward low-pile and flat-weave carpets. These options are gaining popularity due to their modern appearance and ease of maintenance compared to shaggy alternatives. 

Short-fiber models are preferred for households with children or pets because they do not trap dust, crumbs, or hair as easily. Additionally, these carpets help maintain a sense of spaciousness in smaller living areas and complement various styles, including minimalist and natural wood-based interiors. Common color palettes include beige, cream, grey, and earth tones, often featuring subtle stripes or geometric patterns.
