Shimmer and glimmer

Incorporating various materials and different textures into a room adds warmth and character — the slight shimmer in this carpet is enough to catch your eye without becoming overwhelming. The neutral colour palette and focal point artwork in this set-up complements the soft carpet perfectly.

An elegant scheme that would suit traditional and contemporary houses alike, the subtle hues are complemented with luxe, rich jewel tones, natural stone and on-trend romantic blush pink. Add a bit of interest with chic, stylish chairs in different shades and incorporate metallic touches. A statement wall creates a focal point and works perfectly with the understated floor.

Sky blue carpets are a perfect choice for rooms that are flooded with light. Accessorise the room with modern gold décor and minimalist furniture (minus a statement piece, such as the contemporary chair in the picture), for a clean, modern look that won’t date. Stick to a neutral colour palette and play with different textures to create a calm, serene atmosphere.

The demand for grey in interiors is showing no signs of slowing down; it looks great in all properties, regardless of size, style, age or location — and it’s little wonder that grey floors have overtaken the previous number one of beige. This super-modern LVT floor looks dreamy with this marble kitchen, with its industrial surround, exposed brickwork, on-trend suspended lighting and sleek chairs. Keep accessories in this room to a minimum; the less distractions, the better.

Complete with small, twinkling details, this carpet is a bold move and is certain to make a statement. Embrace the dark, moody hues and accessorise with bursts of colour such as a bright, vibrant orange — the perfect way to disrupt the heavy blues and to add a playful twist.
