We’ve collected some ghoulishly luxurious carpets together that use striking colours like blood red, pumpkin orange and the timeless quality of black and white.

Five Local Businesses & Organisations We Support

Back in October 2020, as we were battling through the -pandemic and its tiered systems and lockdowns, we published the blog Five Local Businesses We Support.

In this month's blog, we're going up in the world - or upstairs. We're looking at carpets for the stairs. Compared to other rooms in the house, stair carpets work a little differently. The first and obvious difference is they are more often than not covering a thinner area. It means that certain patterns can work better. More on this later. The other is perspective: unlike other areas of the home, there is an uninterrupted view of the stairs upwards, whereas the rest of the carpets are flat and have furniture on them. Put together, it means that the process for choosing a carpet in the lounge can differ from the process of choosing a carpet for the stairs.

Carpets for Kids' Bedrooms

Back in July, in our blog, Kids and carpets: what to buy and what not, we focused on the best carpets when you have kids. In a nutshell, anything synthetic works best as it can handle any spills and bodily fluids that happen to come into contact with your new carpet. All the carpets below are synthetic.
