Quirky B

We’re keeping your living spaces alive... At Alternative Flooring, we’ve always beendierentandalittlebitedgy. Our mix of inspiring ranges gets people talking. The key, though, is to keep pushing the boundaries and being even cooler. That’s why we take our inspiration for our innovative designs from the catwalks - from what’s hot and what’s not. What’s more, Quirky has true Brit credentials. British design, made in Britain and made from British wool.

The o C llection ... You might not be familiar with the idea of vibrant, cosy happiness. But with our desire to embrace the current trend for pattern and colour with a huge great hug, it’s one you could probably get used to.

Carpet Shown: Zebo Grey

Carpet Shown: Zebo Moss

Simple, patterned design brings living spaces With Quirky B, we’ve reworked the patterns you love, with designs that allow you to dip your toes into the pattern pool. But, to jump off the high board, check out the more intricate designs from Ashley Hicks, Ben Pentreath, Margo Selby and Liberty Fabrics with their fantastic combinations of colour.

Zebo Zebo is suitable for; Bedroom, Dining Room, Stairs, Lounge and Home Office.

A “ s our lives become busier, we all need the restorative power of quiet. Hard floors can be noisy and cold. Carpet exudes comfort and brings joy to the home,” says Lorna Haigh, Alternative Flooring’s Creative Director.

Zebo - Popular animal prints are a statement but fun. Black is the traditional approach, but we’ve added a quirky grey and moss.

Leopard - Inspiration straight from the catwalks, with the ever popular Leopard Java colourway and a blued hued Leopard.

Black 7120

Grey 7121

Snake - Snakeskin in carpet or as a bespoke rug, how wonderfully outrageous. All in on trend petrol blues and greys.

Geo - Geometric inspiration is not new: think Arabesque mosques and artwork. Geometric interiors have been around since the 60’s and now they’re as popular as ever. Easy-on-the-eye Quirky B Geo is a small, repetitious intricate pattern. Honeycomb - Inspiration here comes from nature, with the

hexagonal comb of the beloved honey bee. A firm quirky favourite.

Spotty - This is fun, happy and flirtatious. A design which is bold and strong in character.

Moss 7122

Hot Herring - Not your normal herringbone, it’s hip and bursting

with colour.

Let’s stop being matchy-matchy and get mix-and-matchy. The catwalks and the media are full of the joys of pattern and colour, and the world’s most inspirational designers are telling us to clash fabrics and stimulate the senses. The trick to getting it right with bold hues and prints is to work with what you’ve got and add patterns and colour that appeal to your own personal taste.

Mix-and-match pattern and scale is an interior art-form. At Alternative Flooring, we’re embracing the idea that floors are the fifth wall.

These patterns are all around us, in fabrics, on walls, and now on floors. Using simple contemporary colour combinations, you can easily use these patterns in your own home. Throw together stripes, florals, hand sketches and geometrics in an array of colours and textures. Be brave, be bold and have fun with your home palette.

Part of ‘The Secret Garden Collection’ this collection is inspired by the celebrated novel ‘The Secret Garden’ written by Frances Hodgson Burnett in 1911. The design was found in the back of a Liberty book of Paisleys originating from the Lancashire mills and reworked to represent the rhyme ‘Mary, Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow, with silver bells and cockleshells and pretty maids all in a row.’ Today cockleshells evoke symmetry and perfection, along with memories of the sea and the beauty of collecting.

Hi Margo, What interests and excites you about patterns and especially patterned flooring?

Margo Selby Shuttle Shuttle is suitable for; Bedroom, Dining Room, Stairs, Lounge and Home Office.

I love travel and have been looking lots at indigenous textiles over the past two years. I currently love to combine inspiration from Japanese textiles, which are sophisticated and delicate, with pattern from African tribes, which are bold and rhythmic. I’m constantly gathering images and ideas and collating these into cohesive groups, which can then be translated into fabric collections. I also like to explore technical constructions on my hand loom and combine fibres and structure to innovate new fabrics and patterns.

a C n you give us some advice on how your patterned flooring could best work?

Margo Selby Fair Isle (also available as a runner) Fair Isle is suitable for; Bedroom, Dining Room, Stairs, Lounge and Home Office.

Carpet has come back in fashion recently and it is very on trend to choose statement carpets for your home. I think people are becoming bolder with flooring choices and are able to use their imagination when it comes to styling in the home. This applies to my designs and I think these patterns can be mixed and matched with other patterns as well as authentic natural classics. Jack 7200

It’s best to use a professional fitter for both home and contract fitting. Using a recommended underlay is also a good idea. Leave your natural flooring to acclimatise for 48 hours before fitting. Note that some types of natural flooring are better suited to some locations than others. Check the recommendations in the brochure or the label on the back of our swatches.
