In our busy family room, I recently replaced an old, threadbare, patterned rug with a beautiful new wool rug, made bespoke by Alternative Flooring using their <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/make-me-a-rug\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make Me A Rug<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> service. Not only does the room feel calmer and \u2013 oddly \u2013 bigger, with a rug that covers more of the wooden floorboards, but the super-soft rug entices us to lie on the floor as well as the sofa. It\u2019s become my new favourite spot to work out, too \u2013 I fling my bi-fold doors wide, lay down a yoga mat on the soft-yet-firm surface, and turn the music up!\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One pattern I\u2019m definitely not bored of, and which feels as fresh as ever, is a <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/carpets\/striped\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stripe<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, especially on the stairs. A pin-striped runner is like dressing your stairway for a summer wedding in a timelessly classic suit, and no-one does luxe striped runners like Alternative Flooring! Add some colour to the runners \u2013 I prefer pink, unsurprisingly, but also navy blue, or even orange for an extra zesty hue\u00a0 \u2013 and your house will be best dressed for any summer occasion.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1713.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4821 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1713.jpg\" alt=\"Alternative Flooring's Chunky Wool Omaha Pebble bespoke rug with a Twill Fealu Border\" width=\"960\" height=\"820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1713.jpg 960w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1713-300x256.jpg 300w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1713-768x656.jpg 768w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1713-450x384.jpg 450w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1713-225x192.jpg 225w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1713-900x769.jpg 900w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1713-20x17.jpg 20w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1713-112x96.jpg 112w, https:\/\/floored3.cosmos-cms.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1713-600x513.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/span>Chunky Wool Omaha Pebble bespoke rug with a Twill Fealu Border<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did we mention that stripes were going to be big this year?
