Sisal Bubbleweave, from £60.80sq m, Alternative Flooring

WOVEN STYLE This chunky sisal bubble weave not only has a beautiful tactile knitted texture and nuanced earthy tones on the surface, it’s softer underfoot too. That’s thanks to the weave, which is not as tight as finer sisal styles. It can also be used with underfloor heating. However, do discuss your type of underfloor heating with the carpet installer. Available in five natural shades.

1 Coir bouclé in Natural, from £27.50sq m, Kersaint Cobb

2 Sisal Sumatra in Java, £46.80sq m, Fibre Flooring

3 Elements 100% wool carpet in Pebble, £65sq m, Brockway

San Marino polypropylene carpet in Wine Plain, £31.99sq m, Carpetright

1 PLANT BASED

Hardwearing coir is made from the fibres of coconut husks, which are soaked, spun and woven into this rustic-style matting. Ideal for hallways, it’s a cosier option than wooden, tiled or stone flooring, without the maintenance required of a soft carpet or runner. Choose from six earthy tones.
