Introduction: Why Carpet Layering is a Game-Changer in Interior Design

If you’re looking to add depth, warmth, and style to your home, carpet layering is a trend worth exploring. By layering carpets and rugs, you can create a cozy, inviting space with added texture and visual interest. At Sutton Carpets, we offer a wide range of carpets and rugs that make layering easy and stylish. Whether you’re decorating a living room, bedroom, or home office, carpet layering can transform your space into a cozy retreat.

1. Start with a Neutral Base Carpet

When layering, the base carpet should be a neutral tone to allow accent rugs to shine. Neutral carpets like grey, beige, or soft cream are versatile options that work well with a variety of colours and patterns.

• Low-pile wool carpets or nylon carpets provide a durable, soft foundation that is perfect for layering.
• Neutral carpets create a balanced backdrop that makes accent pieces stand out without overwhelming the room.

At Sutton Carpets, we have a range of neutral wool and nylon carpets ideal for layering in living rooms, bedrooms, and more.

2. Add an Accent Rug for Style and Texture

The top layer is where you can get creative. Add an accent rug with patterns, colours, or textures to bring personality to the space. Patterned rugs like herringbone, plaid, or stripe designs are great choices for adding style and dimension.

• Herringbone Rugs: Bring a classic yet modern look.
• Geometric and Striped Patterns: Bold designs for a contemporary feel.
• Textured Rugs: Sisal and jute add rustic charm.

The patterned and textured rugs at Sutton Carpets are designed to complement neutral base carpets.

3. Layer by Size for a Balanced Look

To achieve the right layered effect, consider the size of each carpet or rug.

• Living Rooms: Large base + smaller patterned rug.
• Bedrooms: Small accent rug at the foot of the bed or side.

Layering rugs of different sizes creates a balanced, visually appealing look.

4. Mix and Match Textures for Added Depth

Combining different textures can bring a luxurious feel.

• Wool and Jute: Beautiful contrast.
• Shag and Flatweave: Extra comfort.

Mixing textures creates a tactile, inviting home environment.

5. Experiment with Colour and Patterns

Layering lets you play with colour without overwhelming the design.

• Bold Colours: Deep blues, greens, burgundy.
• Mix Patterns: Stripes + geometric combinations.

At Sutton Carpets, you can explore endless possibilities.
