In today’s market natural floor coverings are in demand.  Flooring is one of the most important elements in interiors.  It is one of the first things you feel when you enter a home and if its right everything else just  falls into place.

 

There are a large number of natural carpets available today that go beyond the simply functional with designs that are tactile and soft underfoot.  They can be simple yet sophisticated, that can create an interior tempered by interesting textures, often with neutral palettes.

 

Natural carpets are made of a large variety of materials such as wool which is luxurious and blend the comfort of tradition with the contemporary.  These can also be mixed with other natural fibres such as sisal creating a natural carpet that feels soft underfoot but can withstand more.  Coir is another choice again natural and made from coconut husks which are softenened by sea water and woven into a selection of designs it is both durable and good value.  Jute give a tweedy look and is soft, made from the corchorus plant from south India.  

 

Seagrass natural carpet is a popular designer choice offering a strong, naturally flawed finish that can be made chunky or fine and comes from China on the banks of rivers. Sisal is extracted from the Agave Sisalana plant from mexico, brazil or east Africa.  The leaves are dense with fine texture and crushed to get the pure white fibres known as sisal.  It is a hard but beautiful looking carpet.

 

Natural Carpets are where possible, left un-dyed or dyed with natural colours.  They are taken from sustainable natual sources which have a minimum impact on the environment if purchased from reputable sources.
