How can customers best style the carpet in their own home ? It ’ s particularly good on a staircase as I deliberately designed it so the flowers were different shapes and in a random pattern , making it look like the flowers were tumbling down the stairs . But it ’ s also great in any room of the house as it makes a real statement . I love that the colours that Alternative Flooring use are soft and muted , so you can use a really bold design , and it will still work in any room , whether modern or period . I also like it made into a rug with the edges done to either match or contrast the centre of the flower . It ’ s a strong design but it ’ s incredibly usable , allowing for versatile interior styling .

Any decorating advice and quick tips to give others looking to take on a project ? As I said in my book Mad About The House , you must ask yourself six questions : Who , what , when , where , why and how . Who is the room for ? What are they doing in there and when ? The needs of a couple with small kids are very different from those of a couple of child-free downsizers . Working out what a room is for – working , playing , sleeping , relaxing , eating – will help you with furniture choices and layout and knowing when they will be those things will help with lighting . Why are you redoing this room – making a list of what is wrong will help you understand how to put it right and focus on issues or storage and flow around the space . Where will you shop

– this also talks to your budget . And How do you want to feel in the space – this is vital for colour choices . A bright emerald green that makes you feel buzzy and creative is no good for a bedroom where you need a shade that , for you , signifies relaxation and calm .
