Make a statement with pattern
The patterned floor has made a comeback, and oh, what a comeback it is. Take your pick from dramatic and swirly romantic florals, eye-catching prints designed to make a statement, or classic baroque damask prints that inject a touch of luxury to your home. We’ve always said flooring comes first and now it really is taking centre stage. Whether you’re a fan of timeless monochrome, traditional jewel hues or classic softer shades, this trend is here to allow your floor to do the talking.
The drama’s in the detail
Condo Wilton Teal Baroque carpet
Add a regal touch to your home with a carpet that is pure luxury. Perfect for bedrooms, living rooms or a home office if you really want to push the boat out, finish the room with dark wood furniture and gold accessories for extra style points.
Black and white all over
Columbus Mono Greek Key patterned carpet
The Greek key print is iconic in the worlds of fashion and interiors; stylish, bold and the definition of eye-catching, the print works particularly well in hallways and on staircases — the different heights add to the appearance perfectly. Keep the rest of the room simple and use light colours to keep the space looking bright and airy.
Colour block
Villa Multi Blocks rug
One of the many reasons we love rugs is that they are a quick, effortless and low-cost way to refresh any room. Add a focal point to your bedroom, living room or hallway with this ticks-all-boxes accessory. If you want to incorporate an explosion of colour into your home without committing to bright furniture or walls, a rug is the perfect solution, especially one with an on-trend graphic print.
Floral fancy
Columbus Ivory Floral patterned carpet
The days of associating floral carpets with your grandmother are long gone; florals are back for 2018 and this time, they’re grown-up. Go for a romantic and delicate print in soft, muted hues and pair with warm whites and soft creams for a classy, clean and fresh look that still retains its elegance and class.
