  • Our current criteria are light coloured and not patterned but maybe we should branch out.

    I feel the pain - I've tried on and off for years to find alternatives to plain-ish oatmeal carpet with no success.

    The options seem to be plain-ish oatmeal, plaid (look like a boutique B&B in Northumberland), stripes (look like a boutique B&B in Henley-on-Thames), or 50s/60s modern (should work but actually looks like a travel lodge foyer).

    I'm quite fond of this one from Quirky B https://www.alternativeflooring.com/collection/quirky_b/quirky_b__margo_selby_collection/quirky_b_fair_isle/reiko.html - considering it for the stairs.

    Husband wants the Overlook carpet from The Shining...

    But when we did the loft and wanted carpet to keep the noise down, we just went down the plain-ish oatmeal route.

  • I think the Shining carpet would send me over the edge. The top one is quite hard work as well.

    I definitely prefer your oatmeal one.

  • The top one is quite hard work as well.

    If you unfocus your eyes it goes 3d like those old magic eye pictures. Imagine that happening on a staircase! (Not a good thing)

  • I actually looked into that recently, someone makes it but its eyewateringly expensive
