TACTILE APPEAL

Luxurious underfoot, with an amazing

depth of colour, 100 per cent wool

carpets – such as the Wool Snug

range from Crucial Trading – are

not only beautiful, but naturally

flame-retardant and hypoallergenic,

too. What’s more, wool fibres are

protected by natural oils, which

make them resistant to stains and

easier to clean – particularly

suitable for country living.

Not just great to look at – these designs feel lovely, too

3 OF THE BEST TEXTURED RUGS

NATURAL CHOICE

Eco-friendly carpets are becoming

increasingly popular. ‘Our Pure Wool

collection is made without any dyes,

chemicals or pesticides,’ says Guy

Gibbon, director at Sisal & Seagrass.

‘Plus, the wool is sourced from farms

within 100 miles of the factory, giving

the carpet a very low carbon footprint.’

CREATIVE DESIGN

This season sees a return to patterns,

in particular large-scale prints in muted

tones. ‘Our collaboration with Timorous

Beasties is the perfect fit for modern

country homes,’ says Lisa Conway,

residential marketing manager at

Brintons. ‘The designs challenge

conventions by avoiding symmetry.’
