Another cold and stormy day outside here and I'm thinking one simple way of helping to keep our homes warm is by saying farewell to hard floors (unless you have underfloor heating) and welcoming in some cosy carpet? Consider a wool carpet for its natural insulating capacity. Great for cutting down on heat loss and reducing noise too…. perfect for a cosy bedroom like this one.
Some of you may be worried about keeping a carpet clean, however natural wool fibres are fairly hard-wearing and respond well to cleaning. Wool carpets can be expensive, if you’re on a tight budget opt for a wool-synthetic blend but try to get one with at least 50 per cent wool to maintain the look and feel.
After all there’s nothing quite like the feel of soft, sumptuous carpet beneath our feet.....
