We also have two cats, Millie and Megs. I live in a newish build, (a period property is the dream) and so I\u2019m always looking for ways to add character to my very plain and uninspiring home. I try to show people how they can elevate any space by combining elements of classic design, even in a newbuild. I dream of lofty ceilings and original features but right now I use colour, pattern and texture with the aim of creating elegant and pretty spaces that also feel effortless and lived in. I am often asked what my style is and I consider it to be rooted in the classic and traditional with a whole heap of florals thrown in. I love colour, pattern and texture and am passionate about designing spaces that are pretty, but also warm and inviting.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<h4 dir=\"auto\"><\/h4>\n<h4 dir=\"auto\"><strong>Can you share your background and first steps into interiors?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p dir=\"auto\">I am an English and Drama teacher who likes to dabble in interiors on the side. I love all things creative and have always had a huge passion for decorating and styling. I think I got my love of interiors from my mum. To this day, like me, she is always decorating and changing things around. While our style is very different we both have a huge love of colour and pattern. My mum\u2019s preference is jewel tones, whereas I lean more toward pastels.<\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_4306\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4306\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441-1.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4306 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441-1-600x825.jpg 600w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441-1-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441-1-745x1024.jpg 745w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441-1-768x1056.jpg 768w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441-1-450x619.jpg 450w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441-1-225x309.jpg 225w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441-1-20x28.jpg 20w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441-1-70x96.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4306\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Melissa first used our Wool Milkshake on her landing and stairs which fits perfectly with her pastel theme.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\"><strong>How did you hear about Alternative?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div dir=\"auto\">I first stumbled across Alternative Flooring while scrolling on Instagram. I had been on the lookout for carpet for my stairs and landing and was immediately struck by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/collection\/wool\/chunky-wool\/wool-milkshake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wool Milkshake<\/a> range, which is the perfect choice for pastel lovers.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\"><strong>Tell us about the flooring choices in your home.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div dir=\"auto\">My home is still a work in progress. Downstairs we have wooden floors and tiles but my preference is for carpet upstairs. I think flooring can make or break a space. At the end of 2022, I decided it was time to give my very dated stairs and landing a makeover. I couldn\u2019t wait to replace the tired brown carpet with something much more in keeping with my colour palette.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4305\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441.jpg 800w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441-600x825.jpg 600w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441-745x1024.jpg 745w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441-768x1056.jpg 768w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441-450x619.jpg 450w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441-225x309.jpg 225w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441-20x28.jpg 20w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_6483441-70x96.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\"><strong>Why did you choose Wool Milkshake for your stairs and landing?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div dir=\"auto\">I was initially struck by how the Wool Milkshake collection works so well with pastel decor. It was described as \u2018snuggly underfoot\u2019. An added bonus is the carpet is beautifully soft but still hardwearing, which is important for an area like the stairs and landing. I ordered a number of samples to see how the various colours would work with my space. I have to admit I fell in love with a few colours before finally deciding on Raspberry.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<h3>Why did you feel it was important to source and buy your new carpet locally?<\/h3>\n<p>I feel that when it is possible it is good to support and encourage local businesses. Choosing a new carpet is a complex business and a big investment. At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glasgowsoflisburn.co.uk\/\">Glasgows of Lisburn<\/a> I found it helpful to have an expert on hand to ask those all-important questions. It was great to get in-person advice on colour, size and installation.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4312\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4312\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_4920.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4312 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_4920.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_4920.jpg 800w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_4920-600x675.jpg 600w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_4920-267x300.jpg 267w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_4920-768x864.jpg 768w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_4920-450x506.jpg 450w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_4920-225x253.jpg 225w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_4920-20x23.jpg 20w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_4920-85x96.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4312\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The two Steveys from S&amp;S Flooring Specialists<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Why is it important to use experts when it comes to installation?<\/h3>\n<p>While I enjoy trying my hand at DIY, I recognise that when it comes to carpet installation it takes years of experience to perfect the skills and knowledge required to lay a carpet. I was delighted with the professional installation of my carpet by local carpet fitters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/s_sflooringspecialists\/\">s_sflooringspecialists<\/a> It was great to be able to put my trust in experts who would ensure a precise fit and understand the intricacies of working with the material and style of the Wool Milkshake carpet I had chosen for my home. It also helps if your carpet fitters are ultra-professional, helpful and lots of fun. I will most definitely be calling on the services of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glasgowsoflisburn.co.uk\/\">Glasgows of Lisburn<\/a> and the two Steveys (s_sflooringspecialists) again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\"><strong>Why choose wool and is sustainability important to you?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div dir=\"auto\">I was impressed that Alternative Flooring is dedicated to sustainability and has a pledge to make carpets with a conscience. Through my research, I felt assured the Wool Milkshake range was a timeless design that could be trusted to last.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\">Where does your interior design inspiration come from?<\/h3>\n<div dir=\"auto\">While my passion for interiors is rooted in a classical style I love to experiment, and in that respect, my designs can be quite playful. My design choices have been described as \u2018whimsical eclectic meets traditional\u2019. I get lots of inspiration from platforms like Pinterest and Instagram. I also buy lots of interior books and magazines. I have a particular love of colour and love dipping into colour theory, which informs a lot of what I do.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_4282\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4282\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0169-1.jpeg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4282 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0169-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0169-1.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0169-1-600x975.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0169-1-185x300.jpeg 185w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0169-1-630x1024.jpeg 630w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0169-1-768x1248.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0169-1-450x731.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0169-1-225x366.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0169-1-20x33.jpeg 20w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0169-1-59x96.jpeg 59w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4282\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our Wool Milkshake in Raspberry carpet flows from the landing into the bedroom creating a cohesive scheme.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\">Have you always had a talent for DIY, considering the amount you showcase on your social channels?<\/h3>\n<div dir=\"auto\">I guess I will have a go at most things and as a result, I tend to learn from trial and error.

As a drama teacher, I am very in the moment. I think best when I am on my feet doing and then get carried along with an idea. I guess it is the same with interiors. I think one idea begets another. I\u2019m probably frustrated in that respect because I don\u2019t like being restricted by having a fixed plan. I like the plan to be loose so I can add layers as I go.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0142.jpeg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4284\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0142.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0142.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0142-600x825.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0142-218x300.jpeg 218w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0142-745x1024.jpeg 745w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0142-768x1056.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0142-450x619.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0142-225x309.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0142-20x28.jpeg 20w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ACS_0142-70x96.jpeg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\">Any decorating advice to share for those starting a project?<\/h3>\n<div dir=\"auto\">I think the most important thing is to have a go.
