You just can’t go wrong with a stripy carpet. Classic and bold without overwhelming or dominating a room, this timeless design will work in all homes, from modern new builds to period properties. The dramatic dark wall highlights the carpet, but keep furniture and accessories to more neutral tones for an attractive contrast.

A cosy carpet is a real treat in any bedroom. Stepping out of bed and onto a smooth carpet is a delight for your feet; especially in the colder months. A luxurious-looking deep purple carpet will add a five star hotel feel to any room – and for the ultimate cosy ambience, paint the walls a deep plum hue and throw in splashes of grey for extra style points.

Thought laminate flooring was just wood effects? Think again. Modern geometric flooring adds a contemporary feel to any room, but it looks particularly bold in a sleek, minimalist kitchen. Smooth, simple cabinets, eye-catching paint on the walls and a minimalist vibe lets the floor speak for itself.

The genius thing about a dark carpet is that it can cover a multitude of sins – think spilt drinks, crayons, and even trodden-in crumbs! As much as we’d like to think we’d keep our flooring immaculate, it’s inevitable that these things happen. A super soft carpet is a real treat in the bedroom, but it’s not just for kids, the grown-ups deserve something nice too.
