When it comes to where we live, most of us want to create more than just a house, we want a home. Believe it or not, carpets and flooring play a major role in determining the kind of environment and atmosphere of your home, and in this month’s blog, we’re going to take a look at how exactly you can do this, as well as the benefits of wool carpet and the convenience of our mobile showroom.
Flooring choices
When it comes to flooring choices, the colour palette you select can significantly impact the overall feel and ambiance of a room. For example, dark flooring options, such as walnut or dark oak, give a space a feeling of warmth and depth that makes a room feel comfortable and welcoming. Practical advantages of dark floors include their ability to conceal dirt and dust better than brighter hues, which makes them perfect for high-traffic spaces like dining rooms or living rooms.
It’s also said that dark flooring in bedrooms promotes calmness and relaxation, which is ideal for a restful sleep. In addition, they work nicely with bedding and furniture that have vibrant colours, as it gives the room’s overall design a sense of harmony and balance.
On the other hand, coloured flooring, like light grey or pale oak tiles, is highly valued for its ability to create an illusion of greater room and airiness. These colours also successfully reflect light, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Light floors work especially well in smaller spaces or in places like kitchens and bathrooms, where maximising natural light is important. They are also a popular option for home offices and bedrooms, since they foster a feeling of peace and calm. Light floors, however, might need to be cleaned more frequently to keep them looking immaculate, particularly in homes with children or pets.
Creating a warm atmosphere
Here are a few of our suggestions to create a warm and inviting atmosphere:
• Hardwood: Timeless and versatile, hardwood flooring offers a natural warmth that’s hard to beat. It’s available in a range of tones, grains, and finishes, tailoring to your needs.
• Carpets: Carpets, especially those in warmer hues, provide a sense of plush comfort that’s perfect for personal spaces like bedrooms.
• Vinyl plank flooring: Affordable and in available in a range of colours, vinyl plank is an excellent choice to stylishly lift and enhance any room in your house, without breaking the budget.
Ideal Carpets for comfort and style
Carpets play a significant role in enhancing the aesthetics and comfort of a home. In fact, by investing in the right type of carpet, you can enhance your individual taste and create a unique atmosphere.
Given carpets come in a wide variety of styles, colours and textures, they can be used to create eye-catching centrepieces or quietly complement existing furniture pieces. The softness and warmth of carpets can also enhance comfort levels in any home, making it a more inviting space overall. Another benefit of carpets is that they are great for reducing the amount of noise that travels between rooms, as well as from outside.
One of our favourite types of carpet is wool, which is renowned for its’ superb quality and distinct attributes. The self-renewing fibres are not only warm and plush, but are also durable, and this winning combination has increasingly made them a sought-after option, for a lavish yet long-lasting carpet.
Wool as fibre can withstand pressure, has a beautiful aesthetic and excellent appearance retention properties. It is also incredibly long-lasting when properly cared for, making it an excellent investment when it becomes time to replace existing carpets. If you’re considering the purchase of a new carpet, wool is definitely a viable option.
Another benefit is that wool contains natural fibres. These oils are resistant to dirt and will repel other oil-based soiling. Plus, as wool is an opaque fibre, dirt will be harder to see so your carpet will naturally appear clean. Finally, the wool acts as an insulator keeping your house warm, making it an energy efficient investment and a pleasure to have during the cold winter months.
