This or that - wooden floors or carpet?
Comments (30)Carpet for sure! As champions of carpet, here’s our top five reasons why you should have it in the home: 1. It’s warm – When the mornings are cold, nothing beats the feel of a soft and snuggly carpet on icy toes. Coming in to a warm and welcoming house is the pinnacle of luxury. More people are now turning their back on the cool, sleek look of laminate flooring, for the natural warmth of carpet. Home owners are realising that in rooms such as the lounge, bedrooms and hallway, carpet really is the only option. 2. It’s easy to clean – While you do need to whip the vacuum cleaner over your carpet, there is little other maintenance compared to the upkeep of hard wood floors or laminates. And if you buy one of our easy clean ranges (Sensation, Apollo and Primo collections), cleaning becomes less of a chore - plus you have the added reassurance of a 10 year stain and wear warranty. The key to good carpet maintenance is to vacuum once or twice a week, use a large doormat and avoid laying light coloured carpets next to external entrances. 3. It’s quieter – Forget footsteps clacking against wooden floors, a large surround sound system vibrating or noisy children playing upstairs, one of the major benefits of having carpet in the home is that it absorbs sound. Not only does carpet absorb up to 10 times more sound than hard flooring but it generates less too. 4. It’s good for allergies – Over the decades studies have shown that carpet reduces the number of allergens in the air as compared to hard flooring. Carpet prevents allergens from becoming airborne by trapping them in the fibres of the carpet, helping to keep them out of the air and out of your lungs. Vacuuming the carpet then removes the trapped allergens completely. 5. There’s more choice – Carpet is super versatile. Fancy a more rustic look, opt for a textured loop pile. Want a deep snuggly pile, seek the super soft lustrous carpets out. And when it comes to colour, you can choose to play it safe with neutrals and cool greys or be bold with dark statement inky blues or even stripes! Any style you want to achieve can be done with carpet. Visit our site for more carpet advice and inspiration: www.cormarcarpets.co.uk...See MoreStairs without carpet
Comments (27)Thank you all for taking the time to reply to me. I've decided to get a runner, feel that's going to be best with the 3 kids running about. I'm eyes are sore looking at all the different kinds of runners so I ended up phoning the carpet man and getting him to make me a runner from same carpet that Im getting everywhere else so it's all matching. When he sends it away to get it binded, it will be done with orange thread, think this will give me a pop of colour against the grey carpet and be a little different. Takes a few weeks for it to come back but as soon as it's done and in, I will post a picture for you'd. Thanks again for your input and helping me make my mind up....See MoreGeometric meets vintage - ideas
Comments (2)Hi Alis It sounds like you have some great ideas for your studio flat. Geometric and vintage can work really well to create your own unique look – the mix and match approach to buying cushions and throws is key here! For an eclectic feel, choose one of each cushion design; mixing a couple of those different geometrics that you love, along with some textured options too. Adding a sheepskin throw to your chair is certainly a great way to add warmth and comfort. An alternative idea is to use a fur throw in more natural brown tones, bringing together those warm, wooden tones of your furniture with your accessories. If you’d like a geometric wallpaper solution; Harlequin Sumi in Ivory/Mustard is a great choice to mix those contemporary shapes, with complementary vintage tones. You can order a sample to see that it works with your birdcage design too: http://bit.ly/2cpPjkP I have sourced a couple of rugs that you may like as well, showing monochrome patterns with a pop of colour, check out the links below and see what you think. Carefully consider whether you’d like the patterns on the walls or rug to be more prominent. If it’s the walls, try picking up the geometric style with a textured, but plain coloured rug, like the last option I have added (other colours available too). This will add that lightness to your space as well as a subtle, yet interesting pattern to your floor. Most of all, have fun adding your finishing touches.

Comments (9)I was looking for a flatweave runner like these a while ago and seems many of them are easily available in the US but almost impossible to locate in the UK! That said I discovered you can buy a couple of Dash and Albert (an american brand) 71x244cm runners, join them under the step so it can't be seen and they have the same look (I actually think the top pic you included is a D&A example). dash and albert runner links: http://www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk/diamond-platinum-rug http://www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk/samode-denim-ivory-rug http://www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk/herringbone-ocean-3794 Tutorial showing how to join the dash and albert runners: http://southernhospitalityblog.com/painted-stairs-and-adding-runners/...See More

Sometimes going to a large retailer is useful, not all products are easy to find online.
Good luck.
