As the renovation went on, I actually found myself being a bit braver with colour and pattern choices. I began mixing more vintage pieces with contemporary elements, and I realised how much I love bringing warmth and personality into a space.

I love spotting something unexpected and figuring out how to recreate the feel of it in my own way.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What\u2019s one colour you\u2019ll always include in your home, and why?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pink-hued shades of terracotta, there\u2019s something so warm and grounding about them. They bring a beautiful softness to a space without feeling too sweet, and they shift beautifully in different lights throughout the day. I find them really cosy and calming, and they pair perfectly with natural textures and vintage pieces.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1775-rotated.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4997\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1775-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1284\" height=\"1712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1775-rotated.jpg 1284w, https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1775-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1775-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1775-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1775-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1775-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1775-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1775-900x1200.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1775-20x27.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1284px) 100vw, 1284px\" \/><\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n<h3><b>Why did you choose Alternative Flooring for your home?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019d heard so many brilliant things about Alternative Flooring, not just about how beautiful their products are, but also how ethically sourced and environmentally friendly they are, which is important to me.

Plus, their team made the process really seamless, which is a dream with all the inevitable stresses of a big renovation!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How have you used wool in different parts of your home? Was it for texture, warmth or both?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Definitely both! Wool brings this lovely softness and depth to a room. We used it in the bedrooms and on the stairs, as I wanted something luxurious but still practical for family life. It\u2019s amazing how much warmer and more peaceful a room feels with natural materials like wool, and it adds a bit of that cosy texture I was craving.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0036-3.heic\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4994\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0036-3.heic\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0036-3.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4995\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0036-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1284\" height=\"1712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0036-3.jpg 1284w, https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0036-3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0036-3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0036-3-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0036-3-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0036-3-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0036-3-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0036-3-900x1200.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.alternativeflooring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0036-3-20x27.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1284px) 100vw, 1284px\" \/><\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n<h3><b>Did you face any challenges during the renovation, and what\u2019s some advice you would give to those currently on the journey?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oh, where do I begin!
