Distressed Brick-Toned Carpets

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Talk Carpet's Distressed Carpet Style is Inspired by Antigua Walls

— June 30, 2021 — Art & Design
The Distressed Carpet style by Talk Carpet takes its patterned design from the crumbling buildings in Antigua, Guatemala. One wall, in particular, inspired the designers at Talk Carpet to create a cracked cobblestone evoking appearance.

Using a range of organic shapes in different sizes, the carpet accents brick-like tones of red and brown. The US carpet brand explains the origin of its carpet design: "Antigua has many buildings that have been left alone for hundreds of years; there are many distressed buildings." This is why the brand chose to appropriately name this line of carpet to reflect the several-hundred-year-old buildings. The Distressed Carpet is meant to mimic a natural and rustic look that reminds viewers to find beauty in the unexpected.
