I see less carpets in residential and and more hard surface floors.
Are carpets on the rise or decline?

10 years ago they were in decline. I believe in most new homes they have hit rock bottom. Bed rooms and maybe the family room.
Wood, tile, laminates with area rugs is now the norm here.

According to Floor Covering News...
Commercial:
"The commercial carpet segment outperformed residential for the second year in a row, on the order of 1.5% to 2%."
Residential:
"The residential segment continues to operate as a bifurcated market, with the high end (above $10 a square yard) and commodity end ($5 and below) doing well. Comparatively, the middle ground—particularly in the $6–$10 price range, did not fare as well."

Not much residential carpet in SW Fla. my house the 2 guest rooms have carpet and that's about it. Making very good money on tile cleaning though.
