Investing in a new floor is a big commitment. But it’s also an exciting design project that allows you the chance to create your dream home. But where do you start?

Looking for a warm and welcoming carpet for your living room? Or something bursting with colour to make your hallway pop? Alternative Flooring have everything you need. Inspired by nature, they bring different textures, colours and patterns into their collections, bringing richness and interest to your home.

Here are our top four designs:

Relax with Barefoot

Although the colours are soft and neutral in this collection, it oozes natural luxury. This 100% wool carpet is designed for your lounge and bedroom - all the rooms where relaxation is paramount. The cosy natural wool is handwoven in traditional looms and is an ethical and environmentally friendly way to bring simplicity to your home. Staying in never felt so good!

Make a statement with Margo Selby

We are big fans of Margo Selby’s collaboration with Alternative Flooring. Her collection of striking stripes is a true statement and works perfectly as a stair runner or as a touch of boldness to your landing. The Margo Selby collection of woven textiles are produced through specialist mills and artisan weavers, so you can be assured that the quality and authenticity of these colourful carpets are high. Lead the way with colour!

Get natural with Sisal

When we think of sisal, we imagine a homely environment. That’s because this carpet is perfect for creating an uplifting but natural atmosphere. Made from 100% sisal, the Alternative Flooring collection is perfect for hardwearing areas of the home including the bedroom, dining room, lounge, hallway and stairs. You can choose from textured chunky sisals which glow with multi-hued depth, or fine sisal which is intricate and soft. It’s up to you to have a play with texture.

Fake it with Faux

The faux collection is all about texture and style. Our personal favourite is the Luxx Sheer range of man-made carpets which have been designed to replicate the natural look and feel of wool. Thick-pile and satisfyingly sumptuous underfoot, we bet you’ll find it hard to tell the difference.

The lookalike sisal collection, ‘Anywhere Boucle’, is actually 100% synthetic. It’s the perfect choice for kitchen, bathrooms, conservatories – even outside! It can be cleaned easily and is extremely hard-wearing so it is perfect for those who prefer a practical floor without compromising on style.
