\"\"<\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n

What do you love most about your role as Creative Director?<\/b><\/h3>\n

One of the most rewarding aspects of my role as Creative Director is seeing an idea evolve from a concept into a tangible product that finds its place in our customer\u2019s homes. It\u2019s the entire journey that excites me, from having an initial spark of inspiration, exploring and updating our colour palettes to collaborating with designers that complement Alternative Flooring\u2019s distinctive style. I\u2019m always exploring new ways to push boundaries and ensure our products remain innovative while staying true to our signature look.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

My role is varied and I\u2019m pleased that no two days look the same. I readily embrace\u00a0 the different touch points along the way, from working with our talented team, to engaging with the design community and ultimately seeing how our designs come to life in real spaces. Creativity exists in many forms, and my role allows me to embrace that fully.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

If you had to pick one favourite carpet, what would it be and why?<\/b><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s a hard choice! Personally, the Quirky Spotty<\/a> carpet in Damson holds a special place in my heart – I have it on my stairs. It was one of the original Quirky<\/a> designs launched in 2012, and while my stairs do need a refresh, it has been a much-loved feature in our home. It has stood the test of time, enduring years of family life, children growing up, and even my beloved dog. Now, I\u2019m considering what to replace it with – definitely something with pattern, as I\u2019m drawn to the visual interest it brings. Texture is also incredibly important to me; it creates a sense of cosiness and enhances the acoustics of a space, which is key for our social home filled with dinner parties and gatherings.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Quirky Spotty<\/a> carpet in: Damson, Red, Black, Duck Egg, Grey from \u00a3125 per m2<\/p>\n

Do you have anything on your wishlist?<\/b><\/h3>\n

I am planning a refresh of several rooms, but as always, I\u2019ll base my scheme around my choice of rug or carpet. Natural textures have always been my passion – jutes<\/a> for example, are a long-standing favourite of mine. I\u2019m also eyeing up a new wool<\/a> carpet for the bedroom and exploring interesting weaves that not only look beautiful but are cosy and soft underfoot.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

How would you describe your interior style?<\/b><\/h3>\n

My home is quirky and eclectic, filled with pieces that bring me joy.\u00a0 I love art and\u00a0 absolutely adore\u00a0 textiles, and what they can bring to a space.\u00a0 I love the weaving, the textures, and the stories behind each piece. For me, interiors must be cosy and sumptuous, with layers of texture and vibrant tones that make a space feel inviting and full of character.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

What is exciting you in the interior world right now?<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/p>

The evolution of colour is something I find particularly exciting. We\u2019re moving away from greys\u00a0 and embracing more saturated, warming hues – which I\u2019m thrilled about! Sustainability is also a driving force in design today. The emphasis on recycling, repairing, and repurposing vintage textiles is inspiring. Textile houses are doing incredible work in turning what could have been waste into something beautiful and functional.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

What can we expect to see from Alternative Flooring in 2025?<\/b><\/h3>\n

In three words: colour, pattern, and texture. We\u2019re taking bold steps forward, brightening our palettes, and reimagining our designs across rugs, runners, and carpets. Expect fresh weaving techniques, exciting colour developments, and new patterns – all exclusively designed for us. Alternative Flooring\u2019s distinctive brand continues to thrive, and we can\u2019t wait to share what\u2019s next with you.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
