Forget stars and stripes, florals and stripes make the perfect pairing this summer. Pattern play is all the rage on the catwalks walks with eye-popping florals mixing with stripes in every which way. It’s a winning fashion combination that is inspiring interiors too.

From seaside to ticking, stripes never really go out of style. The new Margo Selby Stripes for Alternative Flooring take this classic design staple in fresh directions. We talk to one of our favourite collaborators, the award-winning woven textile designer Margo Selby about her latest collection for Alternative Flooring.
Here at Alternative Flooring we are blushing with pride. Why? Well because we made the floral ‘alternative red carpet’ that The Queen walked along at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show Charity Gala Preview on Monday 22 May 2017.
Once the Christmas clutter is cleared, the next step is to think about how you can streamline your space.

Alternative Flooring loves wool and we swiftly got into the spirit for Woolly Hat Day, but our highlight of Wool Week was taking part in The Campaign for Wool’s first ever Wool BnB where everything from carpets to cardigans was made of this most natural of fibres.
Britain has a fine history of producing quality brands with craftsmanship. Liberty Fabrics and Alternative Flooring continue this tradition. Supporting British design and manufacturing were key factors in launching Quirky B.
For the first time Alternative Flooring’s Make Me A Rug service offers Quirky B pattern along with lots of new borders. This fabulous service has a new video featuring fellow rug lover and number 1 interiors blogger, Kate Watson-Smyth.
We know that our readers are smart, so we are going to straighten out the difference between herringbone and chevron flooring.
