The higher end is where the residential carpet segment flourishes as flooring dealers report seeing a shift from flat woven hand-loomed decorative carpets to Wilton products, as well as new styles that feature vibrant colors and patterns.
Following are some of the top-selling carpet brands and lines that drew raves from dealers this year:
Dreamweaver: Amalfi
“I would have to say patterns are what’s hot today. The herringbone pattern has pretty much become a classic in the flooring industry, and Dreamweaver does it well at an affordable price point with Amalfi.”

Shorewood, Ill.
Anderson Tuftex: Luxe Feel I/II
“Luxe Feel I/II is a very full bodied textured plush with an unbelievable color lineup as well as a luscious hand. It is also a part of the CCA Room By Room display.”
Cathy Buchanan
INDEPENDENT CARPET ONE FLOOR & HOME
Westland, Mich.
Karastan: Maison Chic
“Beautiful color ways for neutral spaces. The carpet is very dense, and the semi-low pile allows people to get the cushiony feeling they’re after without the worry of it mashing down. It’s a great option for people looking for a solid color instead of tonal. The triexta fiber instills confidence in the cleanability and longevity of carpet.”

Masland: Pedigree
“[Pedigree] is a great everyday pattern that can go in any setting. Even though it’s on the mid to high end, we took a chance and are stocking six colors. We feature this in our showroom in a larger sample so you can see the overall look; a smaller sample does it an injustice. It also has great versatility to be made into custom area rugs.”

Cherry Hill, N.J.
Shaw Floors: Secret Journey
“Secret Journey has quickly become our top selling pattern. It’s a 50 oz. Pet Perfect carpet with no pattern match, which makes it even more appealing. The combination of softness, heavier weight, great colors and updated styling has really connected with our customers. It’s been a home run for us.”

Stanton: Buddha
“Stanton’s Buddha in both Pearl and Oats has stood out in our Orange County showrooms. The tight, hand-loomed wool and high pile deliver exactly the classic wool look our customers want, which is why we’ve stocked Pearl for years and are now adding Oats to our in-stock catalog.”
Kyler Robinson
STERLING CARPET & FLOORING
Anaheim, Calif.
Southwind: Eternal Comfort
“Our top selling carpet line is Southwind’s Eternal Comfort, known for its exceptional combination of density, performance and comfort. They recently updated the color selection that offers a wider variety of appeal to more customers. This line has the best overall value for our clients, providing premium comfort and performance at a competitive price point.”

Stark Carpets: Teri, Idele
“In 2026, we have seen a shift from flat woven hand-loomed decorative carpets to Wilton products. In particular, we have done well with several of the Stark Wiltons such as Teri and Idele. In my view, the ability to seam the Wilton products has caused them to overtake the flat woven goods.”
