‘ This striped carpet from crucial trading is one of the favourites as it creates drama and impact and can be used in any room even on a staircase to add depth and flow and entice you to the upper levels of your home . Carpet is no longer just a functional piece of flooring , it can also be used as an impactful part of your interior design scheme .’

BOLD CARPETS
There ’ s always been something about a carpet , it ’ s comforting chicness , and bouncy underfoot feeling , that wood just couldn ’ t live up to . And , while wooden floors aren ’ t going anywhere any time soon , carpets are on the up , and this time it ’ s the bolder the better ! Painterly , self-expressive rugs have been at the forefront of our living spaces post covid , and that same approach is now reflected in our carpet choices . When choosing a carpet don ’ t be afraid to show personality and boldly break the rules . Make a statement and think modern maximalism , consider colour combinations and conflicting patterns with bright coloured walls , there ’ s no limit . Create the ultimate feature in a hallway with a decorative floral print , paired with original features , high ceilings and antique furnishings it will add grandeur to a space . Don ’ t be afraid to experiment with stripes , geometrics and animal prints , they are surprisingly easy to incorporate into interiors and can be done tastefully paired with neutral shades .
‘ We ’ ve seen an increase in desire for cosy , warming patterns too like tartans and stripes . Town or country , period or modern , tartans look striking in any room and can be used to bring a colour scheme or theme together . Exceptionally hard-wearing and versatile with a timeless aesthetic , they make the perfect recommendation for any room .’
