The best interior schemes are the ones that expertly balance tone with texture, using various finishes for a visually agreeable aesthetic. From luxe leather sofas to wood-panelled walls and sleek polished stone, there are endless combinations to choose from. When it comes to carpets, however, few consider the opportunity for injecting a dose of distinctive texture beneath your feet. For an inspired take on textural design, choosing a tactile carpet immediately draws the eye. Unlike textured walls and artwork, it can be felt as well as seen, offering a more immersive sense of space.Â
Textured carpets can be created in many different ways. The majority of our most popular textured styles are created using plant-based fibres, which are intricately woven into a variety of different patterns. Herringbone offers heritage appeal, while a tiger eye design lends a little touch of the exotic. Strong and resilient, sisool styles combine the soft comfort of wool with the straw-like strength of sisal, for a mesmerising medley of texture. However you choose to use it, textured carpet creates a real design talking point without compromising on robust strength and durability.
