Make pattern work on your floors

Choose a patterned floor to create a contemporary look with lasting appeal

Swirly carpet is back, but we're not talking 1970s style. This look is very now and very easy on the eye.

Continue the theme
Make sure your fabric patterns have a similar motif to your carpet. Here, a trailing floral or botanical print is perfect.

Mix it with neutrals
Use a neutral wall colour – anything boldly coloured will make the room look dated.

Where to buy
Carpet: Toile Papillon Black Broadloom carpet, Classic Florals range, £56 per sq m, Brintons.
