Bold Berry Mix

Want to create a sumptuous, cocooning feel in a living space? Then you can’t go wrong with the warming richness of lush berry tones. Design your room scheme from the floor up and choose a carpet in a practical shade for the heavy traffic area, such as a moody smoky-coloured carpet. Then you can decorate the walls with a complementary berry shade, like deep mulberry, to continue the cosiness.

As for the texture of the carpet, opting for a smooth, velvety surface is definitely the key to ultimate luxury and comfort.

Style tip: To heighten the opulence, pepper the room with smooth tactile surfaces, such as marble, leather and glossy wood, all of which will ramp up the luxe factor.

Monotone Magic

There’s nothing quite like a stylish black-and-white palette for ensuring plenty of bold contrasts and making a contemporary statement in a space. If you’re decorating an all-white room that features fresh white walls and a sleek, neutral carpet, then opt for modern black furnishings, such as shapely chairs and leggy floor lamps that will pop against the backdrop and create a strong style story.

Style tip: Lush, verdant houseplants will absolutely sing in a monochromatic setting, as green jumps out against both black and white. Choose exotic leafy numbers to add shape, and display different sizes of plant for extra interest.

Deep, Dark Tones

Dramatically dark bedrooms are still as popular as ever, but how can you make the floor just as special as the walls? Simple. By continuing the drama to the floor with a deep-pile, dark-grey carpet that will steal the show. The secret is to choose a shimmery, tufted design that looks as soft and snuggly as it feels between the toes.

Style tip: Layer your decadent sleep space with light-reflecting velvety throws that will offer a hint of brightness in the dark space and mirror the richness of the carpet.

Light & Bright

This look isn’t for the fainthearted, or for high-traffic spaces, yet a pale, almost snowy carpet is ideal for bringing a sense of calm and relaxation to a space, as well as capturing an extremely sleek and contemporary vibe.

A pale base will instantly brighten any room and make it feel larger too, allowing you a sense of space where you can play around with oversized murals or bold pieces of art.

Style tip: Place a vibrant chair on top of your pale carpet and watch the space come to life with style and impact.
