LIVING SPACES Step I
Carpet offers a traditional flooring solution for a living space and an effective option for all seasons. Not only does it protect a room against external chill during the winter by keeping the heat in, it also insulates the area, stopping excess heat from entering the room, thus creating a cooler environment.
When advising on a new carpet, you should encourage your customer to take their time and ensure you are able to offer them facts into materials and styles.
It’s important to consider a carpet’s construction and its fibres, in order to find the best quality carpet for a home. With a signature blend of 80% wool, 20% nylon, Brintons is confident in this mix because of its versatility, durability and longevity. A wool-blended carpet is the best material for flooring as it has hypoallergenic and anti-bacterial properties, capturing the dust and taking it out of the air you breathe.

A living room often serves as the social hub of a home. Therefore, the flooring choice is essential. It should be soft, comfortable, cosy and made to last.
Colour is also an important element to consider as this will create a cohesive layout for an existing décor scheme. It has the strength to evoke mood and alter a sense of space. Rooms with lots of natural light work best for dark flooring. When paired with light interiors, dark flooring offers a dramatic contrast, whilst also making a room appear larger and brighter. The texture of the carpet adds another dimension to a room, as well as offering extreme comfort underfoot and being a great insulator.
The use of natural fabrics in a living room space, such as woven wool, will create a relaxed, intimate and calming area.
