There are a few topics in the design world that can stir a bit of a lively debate, and wall-to-wall carpeting is one. Love it or hate it, we've been noticing an uptick in designs with this floor treatment.

We surveyed four designers to find out if it's really coming back and their overall feelings towards it, and their answers honestly surprised us.

Designers are often able to get a pulse on the popularity of design choices based on what their clients are requesting. Three of the designers we surveyed have noticed their clients asking for wall-to-wall carpeting more often in the following spaces as of late.

Liz Goldberg, founder and creative director at CAROLYNLEONA by Liz Goldberg, says many of her clients are currently requesting carpet in their home's bedrooms, with the exception of the primary bedroom.

«More of our clients lean towards wall-to-wall carpeting in their kids and guest bedrooms rather than hardwood with layered rugs,» she says. «Then, they add hardwoods to their main bedroom when the budget allows.»

Installing wall-to-wall carpet instantly brings warmth and texture, which is perfect for creating a cozy abode that feels comfortable resting in.

Jaime Galapo, president and interior designer at Galapo Group Design, actually says more clients have been requesting wall-to-wall carpets in their own bedrooms, but in a very roundabout way.

«When a client asks for a “hotel feeling” in their bedroom, they don’t even realize it starts with the flooring,'» Galapo says. Galapo has been seeing an uptick in this request which is why she's been designing more spaces with carpet.

She also encourages her clients to make bold design choices when it comes to their bedroom wall-to-wall carpet. Since
