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.
