Carpet, quite literally, provides the perfect foundation to build your interior design around, comments Jeremy Wilson, Sales Director at Ulster Carpets. ‘With a wide variety of colours, designs and textures on offer, this floor covering has stood the test of time and remains hugely popular.’
‘The texture of wool underfoot coupled with a warm colour or welcoming pattern makes it the perfect base upon which to shape a comfortable and inviting interior scheme,’ adds Lisa Conway Residential Marketing Manager at Brintons.
Lisa goes on to say, ‘Bold designs featuring all manner of florals, birds, butterflies and geometrics are featuring heavily in home décor designs. Pattern and colour have been brought to the forefront to create a bold fashion statement.’
A point which Jemma Dayman, Buyer at Carpetright agrees with, ‘People are increasingly bold when it comes to choosing flooring for living rooms, with practical, neutral carpets no longer necessarily the automatic choice. Instead, we’re seeing more on-trend patterns and colours being used for a far more aspirational style.’
