Get the latest trends in interior design<\/b><\/p>\n
Autumn is here once again. The end of season summer sales have been and gone and the shops are full of the latest autumn colours and designs. Vibrant summer colours and tones are giving way to the warmer, richer shades and textures of autumn. With the onset of colder, darker months we all want to get cosier. So, what does this mean for your home and for your flooring?<\/span><\/p>\n Get masculine\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Think Gerard Butler, think Bradley Cooper, think masculine. Ladies be warned – interior design has gone all manly this autumn. With more men spending more time at home (well maybe with the exception of Gerard and Bradley), there is a move towards more male influences in both colour and style. It\u2019s enough to make you go weak at the knees…<\/span><\/p>\n Strong design, tailoring and bold cooler colours are in. So look out for rich, classic materials such as wool and tweed, patterns including stripes and cutting-edge geometric patterned shapes. Alternative Flooring offers some eye-catching striped and tartan designs in a variety of cool colours for its range of rugs and runners. We also reckon the Westex Oxford and Cambridge stripe carpet collections fit the bill perfectly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Be natural with wool and classic weave carpets<\/b><\/p>\n As the nights draw in and the weather turns colder, we all spend more time indoors (with Gerard or Bradley maybe?). Creating a feeling of warmth and comfort in your home becomes more important. And no-where is creating that feeling be more important than with the carpets and flooring you have in each room.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
