Looking for more sustainable flooring choices for your home? There are now more eco-conscious flooring options available than ever before, combining style, durability and sustainability.

🌿 One great example is Alternative Flooring’s Anywhere Ca-rPET range, made using recycled plastic bottles. Not only does it help reduce waste, but it also creates a practical, hard-wearing sisal effect carpet that looks the part but performs better than sisal in so many ways! Perfect for busy homes.

🐑 Natural fibres are another fantastic sustainable option. Wool carpets, in particular, are renewable, biodegradable and incredibly durable, making them a much more environmentally friendly choice compared to many man-made alternatives. Wool also offers natural insulation, helping to keep your home warm and comfortable all year round.

At Axminster Flooring, we’re proud to offer a range of flooring options that help you make more sustainable choices without compromising on quality or design. Come in and visit our showroom and chat to our team to discover eco-friendly flooring solutions for your home.

Anyone any clever tips for keeping cool? 🥵

Meet the team 👋

I’ve been putting this one off - perks of writing the posts: you don’t have to be in them! However, it’s time. It’s me, Charlotte, hi 👋
You’ll usually find me behind the scenes keeping everything running smoothly - social media, admin, diaries, as well as pottering around the shop making sure it’s generally organised and chatting too much to unsuspecting customers!

Outside of all things carpets and flooring I’m a mum to two humans and a cockapoo. In the little time that leaves me, I enjoy a good walk (especially one that ends at a pub!) and I’m rarely seen without a cup of tea to hand, which, controversially, I take strong AND milky - it is a thing!

Next time you message/comment or pop into the shop, make sure to say hi!

FAQ Friday ❓

“Do I need to replace my underlay with my new carpet?”

Short answer… Yes! 👇

Good underlay helps your carpet feel softer, last longer, and even improves insulation - both heat and sound!

It’s incredibly important when it comes to getting the longest life out of your investment, you wouldn’t buy a new car and then reuse your 10 year old tyres would you?

Our personal favourite is Axfelt - a three layer underlay made predominantly of wool, meaning all the heat and sound insulation you get from your carpet, you’re getting again from your underlay! It’s also super eco-friendly as it uses up waste wool from the carpet industry and the bottom layer is made from recycled lorry tyres! You’ll notice the difference between this and the foam stuff that turns to dust!

Additions like underlay is something we’ll always guide you on in store or as part of our free measure and estimation service 😊

Did you know, carpets actually help keep your home warmer?

𝕊𝕡𝕣𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝔽𝕝𝕠𝕠𝕣𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝔼𝕕𝕚𝕥 🌱

Spring has officially landed and it’s time to refresh your space from the ground up. Here are some trends to look our for this season:

🌿 Nature-inspired living
Spring trends are all about bringing the outdoors in: botanical greens, natural fibres, and organic textures are everywhere right now.

🌸 Goodbye cool greys, hello warm neutrals
Think soft beiges, honey tones and earthy shades that create a cosy, welcoming feel throughout the home.

🧶 Carpet is more popular than ever
We’re seeing more people changing their hard flooring back to carpets; from luxe wool carpets to soft, textured finishes, comfort is key this spring. Perfect for creating calm, relaxing spaces in bedrooms and living areas.

🎨 Pattern is making a statement
It’s certainly not that it’s dated or old fashioned! Whether it’s subtle florals or bold geometrics, patterned carpets and flooring are being used to add character and define spaces.

♻️ Sustainable choices matter
Eco-friendly materials like wool, sisal and recycled fibres are a big focus like the Anywhere Ca-rPET range from Alternative Flooring made from recycled PET plastic bottles - style that feels good and does good!

✨ Layered, lived-in looks
It’s all about mixing textures, think carpets, rugs, wood and soft furnishings working together to create a cosy, curated feel. Less of the minimalistic finishes and more cosy chaos!
