Grown on sheep which graze freely, wool is 100% natural, breathable and biodegradable. In design terms wool has the bounce-back factor, holds colour brilliantly and is beautifully tactile. In a word, it\u2019s the wonder fibre.<\/p>\n\n<h3>How to use wool on floors<\/h3>\n\n<p>Wool is warm, natural and soft underfoot. Whether you spread it across a whole floor for wall-to-wall opulence, create generous oversize bespoke rugs or have fun with runners, wool is as versatile as it is vibrant.<\/p>\n\n<p>Wool carpets give a wonderful sense of cosiness. We tend to choose tactile fine or chunky wools in plain or semi-plain design in a calm palette in bedrooms. This is the one room where you could invest in deep pile, luxe carpet.<\/p>\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_2034\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2034\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2034 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Visual-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Visual-2.jpg 700w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Visual-2-600x374.jpg 600w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Visual-2-300x187.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2034\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Barefoot Ashtanga in undyed wool<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>Hallways are generally long and thin so a runner-style rug on painted treads is perfect.
