From patterned carpets to unusual shades, unleash your creative freedom this New Year.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>How to Add Space<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once the Christmas clutter is cleared, the next step is to think about how you can streamline your space. We all dream of building up, out or down, but there are other ways to unlock the space that you already have. Ever thought of storage under your stairs? What about supersizing all doors and adding a <strong>striped carpet runner <\/strong>like our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/collection\/wool\/rock_n_roll\/mr_blue_sky_striped\/rock_n_roll.html\"><strong>Mr Blue Sky<\/strong><\/a> to give the illusion of space? We think 2017 will be the year of beautiful bespoke cabinetry and cleverly inbuilt storage.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Why not try a New Shade?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Go outside your colour comfort zone and try a new shade on your walls and floors. Be brave in living areas or try out a new colour in a small area first \u2013 treat your floor as the fifth wall! One of our favourites is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/collection\/patterned-carpets\"><strong>Strawberry Meadow<\/strong><\/a> carpet in exotic Peacock blue. Take a look at interior designers <a href=\"https:\/\/turnerpocock.co.uk\/\">Turner Pocock<\/a>, who are named in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedirectory.com\/\">House &amp; Garden Directory<\/a> of the 100 leading interior designers. This dynamic duo has a passion for colour and is leading the revolution away from the beige years.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t be Scared of the Dark<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most of us prefer to play it safe and opt for lighter shades on walls and carpets when decorating our own spaces. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madaboutthehouse.com\/\">Kate Watson-Smyth\u2019s<\/a> book Shades of Grey, the interior designer Abigail Ahern tells us how she started by \u201cpainting just one alcove in Down Pipe and ended up painting the whole house from top to bottom. It was the best interiors move [she] ever made.\u201d Down Pipe is a soft lead grey shade from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farrow-ball.com\/\">Farrow &amp; Ball<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2><strong>Fall in Love with Patterned Carpets\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>As a nation, we are becoming more confident with using pattern. If you use our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/collection\/quirky_b\"><strong>quirky patterned carpet<\/strong><\/a><strong>s<\/strong> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/products\/filter\/rug\/trending\"><strong>bespoke rugs<\/strong><\/a><strong>,<\/strong> then keep walls simple to maximise the effect. If you prefer to use a big pattern, contrast it with small scale designs; partner busy patterned carpets with plains. We love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.margoselby.com\/\">Margo Selby<\/a>\u2019s vibrant new bedlinen, Liberty paisley, and this year we fancy floral floors with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/collection\/patterned-carpets\"><strong>Flowers of Thorpe<\/strong><\/a> in Summer Garden from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/collection\/quirky_b\"><strong>Alternative Flooring with Liberty Fabrics<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h3><strong>Have Fun with Floors<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is our favourite New Year\u2019s decorating resolution. The floor plays a pivotal role in any interior design scheme and if you get that right then everything else easily falls into place. But don\u2019t forget to have fun, too, with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/make-me-a-rug\"><strong>Make Me A Rug<\/strong><\/a> online service.
