Discover the coolest carpet collaborations

Lorna Haigh, head of creative and marketing at Alternative Flooring is making carpet cool. She has scouted some of the UK’s best designers who have added great British pattern to the award-winning Quirky B collection.

Rugs make light work!

If lighting and flooring are the two most important elements when designing a home, then lamps and rugs are the most important accessories in the final decorating sweep. It’s the time to focus on the finishing touches. Here’s how to play with not just colour and pattern, but with your imagination.

High Fibre Floors

Discover how Sisal, Coir, Jute and Seagrass woven flooring can bring a natural presence from the loom to our living rooms for SS17. Try our Alternative high-fibre diet in your interiors.

New Year Decorating Resolutions with Alternative Flooring

Once the Christmas clutter is cleared, the next step is to think about how you can streamline your space. We all dream of building up, out or down, but there are other ways to unlock the space that you already have. What about supersizing all doors and adding a striped carpet runner like our Mr Blue Sky to give the illusion of space?

A Bright Future for Wool at Wool Week

Wool Week is always a whirlwind of activity! This year the Wool BnB gave us all a moment to be proud of! It was intended to be a truly creative space showcasing a colourful mix of the potential of wool to make a home comfortable, tactile and visually stimulating. The fabulous flooring in the living areas was provided by Alternative Flooring with Liberty Fabrics collection.

Nice to see ewe…at Wool BnB

Alternative Flooring loves wool and we swiftly got into the spirit for Woolly Hat Day, but our highlight of Wool Week was taking part in The Campaign for Wool’s first ever Wool BnB where everything from carpets to cardigans was made of this most natural of fibres.

How Alternative and Liberty Fabrics got together

Britain has a fine history of producing quality brands with craftsmanship. Liberty Fabrics and Alternative Flooring continue this tradition. Supporting British design and manufacturing were key factors in launching Quirky B.
