Beautifully floored
Today, flooring choices are as important to your grand interior design as furniture and paint. The right floor design can drastically brighten a room, make it warm and cosy – enhance your desired interior mood – or create a richness only found with deep, plush carpets or translucent marbles.

Colour Palette

Colour is one of the most personal and subjective elements of carpet buying. One person’s ‘beautiful’ is another’s ‘boring’. That’s why there are more colours and designs available than ever before. Consider some of the newer choices of neutrals, like yellow, light blue and pale green, in addition to the more conventional – yet forever elegant – beige, tan, ivory and cream. And remember: while light colours make a room appear larger and airier, dark colours can make a room feel cosier, sensual and more intimate.

Creative Carpeting in Style

Before making design changes to our homes, we often think a fresh coat of paint, a new sofa and reupholstering a piece of furniture will complete the picture. And often we do this without ever looking under our own two feet for the other obvious solution. “A change of carpeting can bring out new charms in your old furniture – and in you”

Whether you use vinyl flooring, area rugs, runners, solids or patterns, wall-to-wall carpeting or marble, the possibilities are endless – with a finished look not shy of spectacular.

The Goodness of Wool

For centuries, wool has been synonymous with quality and taste. There is often a sense of pride and comfort in owning wool-based products – largely due to their ability to absorb and retain colour. Many people, over the years, have enjoyed the softness of the fibres and the much sought-after longevity of the ‘new carpet’ look and feel.
