CARPET
PATTERN PLAY
Patterns are the new neutrals when it comes to carpets for classic and contemporary interiors, explains Kirsty Barton, brand manager at Alternative Flooring.
From dopamine decor to taking interior inspiration from your wardrobe, many homeowners are moving away from pared- back palettes and introducing a new and perhaps surprising neutral to their schemes: pattern.
Available in a plethora of shapes, colours and sizes, it can be overwhelming to understand how to incorporate pattern into a living space, but we have noted a quiet movement taking place as homeowners opt for some understated, geometric fun on their ‘fifth wall’ – the floor.
Patterns such as diamonds and herringbones add a sense of play to a space, while remaining sophisticated and timeless. Both styles create texture and depth without dominating the room, making them a failsafe choice for those wanting to add a sense of movement and interest without committing to bold prints.
There’s a longstanding belief that patterned carpets, rugs and runners are always bold, bright in colour and intricate in design, but understated patterns such as diamond and herringbone prove just why pattern can be seen as a neutral.
Both styles complement traditional and contemporary interiors, working just as well as a rug in a bedroom or hallway as it does across flooring in the conservatory. Its subtle architectural detailing adds texture without relying on colour, which creates a beautiful, understated luxurious finish.
Alternative Flooring’s Anywhere Ca-rPET Diamond features a woven jacquard diamond design available in six versatile
36
colourways of deep browns and golden tones. Crafted using recycled PET yarn, also known as rPET, the carpet fibres are made from recycled plastic bottles, making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to other synthetic pile yarns. The repetitive diamond design adds a touch of luxury, while the material remains easy to clean and is moth-resistant, meaning it’s suitable for all areas of the home.
Standing alongside the diamond as a neutral pattern on the block is the classic herringbone. A design that has stood the test of time, its distinctive zig-zag pattern adds quiet luxury while creating visual interest that feels effortlessly versatile. The Anywhere Ca-rPET Herringbone is available in varying earthy tones, making it a beautiful neutral backdrop whether used as a carpet, rug or runner.
Repeating patterns are the new neutral when it comes to floorcoverings. Just as a plain carpet provides a foundation for a room, a subtle, repetitive design offers the same versatility while adding depth, movement and personality that elevate the entire space without being overbearing. Patterns, such as diamond or herringbone, create a sense of flow, guiding the eye through a space and tying the entire look together.
The Anywhere Ca-rPET Diamond and Herringbone collections are available as wall-to-wall carpets, rugs or runners. Use Alternative Flooring’s Make Me a Rug design service to personalise your own patterned rug.
