At Alternative we are often asked how to questions and we thought we\u2019d compile an easy summer read with a few expert tips on how to dress your home when it comes to what flooring goes where and why. We have soft textured floor coverings suitable for all rooms in the home and even outside. What fibre where depends on the space and who lives there but the style is up to you!<\/p>\n\n

How do you decide whether to have a rug or a fitted carpet?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rugs and runners<\/strong><\/a> can go everywhere plus you can change as the season suits, store easily, and roll up and take with you!<\/p>\n\n

Carpets<\/strong><\/a> are perfect for particular rooms where you want that unending softness, free from draughts and to keep dust at bay from floorboards\u2026. no worries about placing furniture either and the sofa legs dilemma.<\/p>\n\n

If you are investing in wall-to wall carpets the benefits of having a wool carpet over a man-made carpet is that it will perform and look beautiful for longer. A fitted deep pile luxe wool carpet in the bedroom is indulgently soft underfoot.<\/p>\n\n

Here\u2019s how one of our Alternative ambassadors, does it. The brilliant Kate Watson-Smyth<\/strong> creator of the award-winning Mad about the House<\/strong><\/a> blog.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI love patterned wool rugs and have them in every room to soften the painted floorboards apart from my son\u2019s bedrooms which are carpeted in a chunky textured wool \u2013 partly for the noise factor. \u201c<\/em><\/p>\n\n

How do you decide on the size of a rug for a room?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Generally, go big. A rug that is too small for your space can cause the room to feel uninviting. However, a rug which is too large for the room can make the room feel too busy and smaller than it actually is. Leave at least 40 cm either side of your sofa and make sure the front legs of your sofa sit on the rug.<\/p>\n\n

How to choose pattern or plain, or a bit of both?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The advantages of choosing a patterned carpet<\/strong><\/a> are well worth thinking about. Placing pattern on the floor gives an interesting focus and has a framing effect, which can make a space feel grander. Patterned carpets are practical as they don\u2019t show the spots and spills. Quirky Deco by Divine Savages<\/strong><\/a> design that began as a runner is now newly available as a wool wall-to-wall carpet.<\/p>\n\n

Light and plain carpets do keep a room feeling open and don\u2019t detract from the d\u00e9cor. There are quite a few chic wall-to-wall carpet arbiters of style.\u00a0 Louise Roe<\/strong><\/a> carpeted her new home in our off -white Wool Pebble Omaha and says, \u201cIt\u2019s white, but it\u2019s a beautiful light cream, which goes with pretty much any colour palette on the walls. I also wanted a thick weave; it feels so luxurious and gives a real texture to the rooms.\u201d Louise Roe<\/em><\/p>\n\n

How to decide on a pattern?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Smart stripes, in any width, are a brilliant way to make a room feel wider or longer, depending on which way the stripes are laid. \u00a0Our collaborator Margo Selby<\/strong><\/a> has clever stripes in different scales that can unite spaces.<\/p>\n\n

For a modern look, geometrics can also look fabulous, but keep the colours subtle to avoid it looking too busy.<\/p>\n\n

Softer patterns and colours are better for making a room feel larger, and darker ones to bring a large room in and make it cosy. Woosie<\/strong><\/a> has soft cotemporary palette where the interwoven fibres of the wool and sisal make three charming patterns.<\/p>\n\n

What materials work best where – are there rules for different rooms?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This very much depends on the foot fall and the look and feel you want to achieve.<\/p>\n\n

Luxury deep pile wool carpets<\/strong><\/a> are fantastic underfoot in bedrooms as carpets and rugs but may not perform well in an area with heavy foot fall, such as on stairs or in hallways.<\/p>\n\n

For traffic-busy stairs and hallways, a more tightly woven wool such as a boucle or Berber is preferable because it can be cleaned easily; or go for a carpet with a fleck in it, which hides a multitude of sins.<\/p>\n\n

Before choosing a wool carpet for stairs, either as fully fitted carpet or as a bespoke stair runner, check the products suitability; not all wool carpets are suitable for stairs.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n

Sisal Herringbone Hockley<\/em><\/a> stairrunner and <\/em>Sisal Super Boucl\u00e9<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n

Sisal<\/strong><\/a> a popular natural fibre option for medium domestic carpets because it\u2019s so versatile and super hardwearing. As it\u2019s expertly woven in different strand shades it often has a darker fleck in the carpet. It\u2019s the hero of the hallways hiding tracked dirt, so it is ideal in this high-traffic spaces in the home. Sisal can be woven into many types of weaves in varying thicknesses.<\/p>\n\n

How to find a carpet for bathrooms and kitchens?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our ingenious Anywhere<\/strong><\/a> sisal-style flooring opens possibilities in the bathroom, kitchen and even outdoors. It\u2019s hardwearing, easily cleanable and moth resistant and perfect as fully fitted carpets or as bespoke rugs and runners using the online Make Me A Rug<\/a> service.<\/p>\n\n

How to look after flooring?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Wool <\/strong>is durable and a doddle to clean. It looks luxe, feels incredible and bounces back likes nothing else. We always suggest that you opt to have stain inhibitor solution applied to your carpet or rug. The Intec solution we use is environmentally friendly, coats the fibres of the carpet or rug and gives you time if a spill occurs. Specialist cleaning advice is available from our cleaning partner\u00a0WoolSafe<\/a>\u00a0who also advise on everyday spots and spills.<\/p>\n\n

Natural fibre floorings such as sisal, seagrass and jute do not like water, and we suggest dry cleaning methods. We would recommend having one of our Natural Flooring Care Kits<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

How do you define flatweaves, loop-pile and tufted flooring?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Questions like this are helpful as it means we need to need to define the construction types and explain why we offer this choice.<\/p>\n\n

Wool Iconic Herringstripe<\/strong><\/a> is called a flatweave as it does not have a huge amount of bouncy pile when you compare it to other styles of carpet. If you are considering a plainer wool carpet in larger rooms where possible only use these flat woven carpets in spaces where they\u00a0can be installed in a single width of 4 or 5m widths.<\/p>\n\n

We may not be quote ready for shag pile, but deep pile is popular.<\/p>\n\n

Finally, a few words on wool\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Many collections celebrate the wonders of wool in fine and chunky textures. Wool<\/strong><\/a> is a wonder fibre: beautiful and breathable, easily cleaned and it retains its shape and bounce. An insulator and naturally flame retardant, a super textile for floors which lasts too.<\/p>\n\n
