Hi Jackie, sorry for our delayed response! We love it too!! The great thing about Margo Selby's Fair Isle design (one seen in the photo) is that it is available as a 69cm wide runner but also as a 3.66m wide broadloom. The pattern repeat between the 2 different width options is the same so this means that you can have a runner going up your stairs and then match the pattern with the broadloom on your landing to keep the 'flow.' The other colour options in the Quirky B Fair Isle collection, and to see our entire range of patterned carpets, please visit our website, http://www.alternativeflooring.com/collection/quirky_b.

What a beautiful staircase! It is stunning! Project Home UK suggested a stair runner going down the middle of the steps would perhaps be more effective than a fully fitted carpet. We supply carpets and floorcoverings throughout the UK and Ireland and can also offer a bespoke stair runner service where you choose any one of our floorings or carpets (as long as suitable for stairs of course) and pick a border to go around the edge. We have some beautiful examples of customers 'in-situ' runners in our 'in-situ' ideabook which may give you some inspiration? We recently did a photoshoot in a location with a similar staircase to yours, photo below, where we used a bold striped runner in 100% wool, with a simple whipped edge. The second photo is of a grand central staircases in one of our retailer showrooms which has the new Quirky B Fair Isle Reiko by Margo Selby running down the centre - beautiful! Take a look at our website, www.alternativeflooring.com, to see our full collection of floorcoverings and have a play with flooring and border combinations using our 'Make me a rug' designer. Have fun!

Looks like my pictures didn't show the first time around! Wow. I’m drooling over everyone’s dream bedrooms! Mine would absolutely be a Moroccan vibe with splashes of rich colour.

One way to lighten the appearance of your peninsular but still keep the work space is to adjust the size of the cupboard area underneath, so that the worktop overhangs. Even a 15 centimetre overhang would make a visual difference as it frees up that amount of floor. Rounding the end, or even just the corners of the worktop will not only make moving round it easier but more importantly result in fewer bruises from bashing into the corners when in a hurry.
