By 2025, carpets will no longer be just a warm surface or an acoustic solution. They will have evolved into fully-fledged art objects that add character to your interior, set the mood, and even tell a story. Belgian interior design enthusiasts are increasingly seeking unique carpets that do more than just function.
Sculptural and expressive
The latest carpets are sculptural in shape: asymmetrical, undulating, organic. Think of carpets that resemble art installations, with relief, cut-out patterns, or three-dimensional structures. They break up the straight lines of a space and add dynamism.
Trend tip : Combine a sculptural rug with a minimalist sofa for a powerful contrast.
Color as a statement
Carpets are the perfect place for color to shine. In 2025, we'll see a lot of:
-
Burgundy red and clay brown for warmth
-
Moss green and terracotta for an earthy vibe
-
Sand color and off-white for tranquility and elegance
Tone-on-tone carpets enhance the harmony in a room, while contrasting colours create tension.
Materials with character
Belgian consumers consciously choose quality and sustainability. Carpets made of natural materials such as:
-
Wool (for softness and insulation)
-
Jute (for a raw, earthy look)
-
Recycled fibers (for an ecological statement)
Hand-woven carpets and limited editions are also popular, often from local studios or artisan makers.
Styling tips for your carpet
-
Under the dining table : Choose a rug that frames the table and defines the space.
-
In the sitting area : Slide the rug partly under the sofa for a cohesive whole.
-
In the bedroom : Go for a soft, high-pile carpet that exudes comfort.
