Why Wall to Wall Carpet is returning

[Jim Pemberton]

This trend will be slow, but bodes well for our industry

Silk broadloom in every room? That's kinda dramatic

wool-sisal blend ? Are they trying to ruin the carpet cleaning industry as well?

And what is synthetic jute padding?

I was excited to start reading this article, but seeing the designer's opinion on the types of carpet suggested above has me worried a bit

Separate the reasons for wall to wall carpet to be used from the fibers mentioned in the article, and you'll feel better.

There is a trend toward wool-tencel and wool-sisal in designer carpet, but that is still in the somewhat smaller (though attractive) upscale marketplace.

I am seeing more wall to wall wool as the only fiber used in the marketplace, but that isn't as problematic as wool blended with cellulose or regenerated cellulose fibers.

We all know where this ends up.

Upscale carpet means upscale pricing.

You’d think so but …
They’re carpet cleaners

From what I’ve experienced here in Chiselertown, USA zip 00000-000, delivery trucks wont be dropping off anytime soon. I could be wrong though.

Some designers before giving themselves designer title were castaways from the set of the Twilight Zone.
