Roll Out The Carpet
For as long as we can remember, wood has ruled the roost when it comes to flooring, but with the cooler nights drawing in, it’s time to get cosy with carpet, writes Emma Brereton
Family run business, The Flooring Centre NW Ltd, stocks some of the highest quality flooring brands in the UK and there are some new trends to keep an eye on which could give your home the perfect autumnal makeover.
“From stripes, geometrical looks to hexagonal patterns, there are some fantastic designs coming into store at the moment,” says Michelle at The Flooring Centre NW.
There’s no doubt that wood isn’t always the cosiest choice but it’s worth having a mixture of hard and soft floorings in a household, not only to bring in different textures, but to ensure endurance through main walkways and to create ultra-soft luxury in other rooms.
And just because you’re thinking of introducing or revitalising the carpets you already have, it doesn’t mean the end result will be a cacophony of patterns and colours from the 1970s.
“Trends for this season are drawing more upon deep plum and berry tones, oriental influences, stripes and pastels,” says Michelle.
And with some of the most well-respected lines available at The Flooring Centre NW Ltd, you can be rest assured that any carpet you purchase will be high quality. “Axminster carpets, which has been in existence since 1755, is a leading product. We are proud to be a retailer for a prestigious brand like Axminster carpets. The carpets are beautiful, the designs cater for a mixture of preferences and the quality is extremely high.”
Other brands The Flooring Centre NW stocks include Associated Weavers one of the biggest producers of tufted broadloom carpet in Europe, award winning Ulster Carpets, Hugh Mackay and Alternative Flooring.
Michelle adds: “Associated Weavers is famous for its innovative designs and has been a trendsetter since it opened in the 60s. Also, on the design-led side, is Alternative Flooring. This company is renowned for its quirky approach to patterns, encouraging its customers to go bold with design choice.”
The family run business is with you every step of the way from the initial measure up, through to removing old floors, clearing rooms for fitting and taking everything away leaving you with nothing but a beautiful new floor in your home.
“When choosing a carpet for hall stairs and landing, it’s important to spend a little more and be braver with pattern choice. These areas are usually main walkways so choose a carpet that is shorter and endurable.”
“For bedrooms and lounge areas, you can opt for something more luxurious in feel choose a quality carpet that delivers sumptuous underfoot comfort.”
