Interior Design Blog

Custom designed, wool-rich woven Axminster. The popularity is due to a number of reasons: product performance, design flexibility, lifecycle cost benefits and the benefits of wool.

Setting aside service, what is the most important thing your customers are looking for at the moment?
Design leadership and access to true innovation and inspiration.

What are the biggest challenges you face?
Due to the current economic conditions, the supply of money to fund large builds/renovations is still problematic. However, the prospect of the 2012 Olympic Games is definitely beginning to take effect and the outlook for the latter half of the year is good. 

What are the most exciting current developments in your sector?
As a business we are very excited to launch our archive online. Brintons owns what we believe to be the largest carpet archive in the world. We are going to open this to our leading customers for inspiration and as a tool during the interior design process.

What's going to be the colour and/or texture of tomorrow?
Everything green is in and so are all its complimentary and related palettes. So every imaginable palette of green will be with us for some time. But 'familiarity breeds contempt' so we will also see lots of experimentation in fresh new pastels, strong blues, verdigris and coral tones.

Future-gazing, what will be happening in your sector in 2015?
At the more daring end, I think there will be even more elaborate and very large scale surface pattern used in all manner of interiors. Perhaps we'll see carpets going along floors and curving up the wall?
