Interiors: Give these winter interior trends a go

Shades of grey

No, were not talking 50 shades here, were talking neutrals and this year’s neutrals are coming in the form of a wintery grey colour palette. Think wisps of wood smoke, silver branches and frosty window panes.

Or go midnight blue

If you are prone to a more colourful and rich colour scheme for the winter, you should be watching out for midnight blues, indigos and ink colours.

Snug and warm knits

Thing are getting bolder with knitted accessories and massive chunky cable knitting is replacing demure weaves. Why not try some chunky knit or ribbed wool cushions in a dove grey or cream.

Check it out

Adding touches of traditional tartan or checked patterns will work well in both country house and town hose settings. If you’re not quite ready for the bold customary deep green and red, then you can
opt for a more lighter aqua or heather pastel tone instead.

Fire it up

Focus on fires, it doesn’t take a lot to make your hearth a feature, and with fuel bills soaring were likely to be focusing on it much more.

Long division

With more and more housing designs calling for open plan and lengthy areas of space, the demand for screen dividers is on the increase. They are ideal for allowing a visual separation for those open plan rooms without being a permanent fixture or to obtrusive and can often be a great talking/focal point.

Get whimsical 

Simply add a touch of brightness and fun to parts of your interior to instantly break through that gloom winter atmosphere. Try bright oranges, reds, greens or yellows to counter act the cold colours of winter and use things with curves and flowing angles to take away from the rigidness of the cold.

Patterned Carpets are back!

Old-fashioned and dowdy they are no more - patterned carpet is back! We believe a pattern can brighten up even the dingiest of spaces, whether you making statement on you staircase with a slick tartan design, or styling your lounge with floral motifs. Patterned carpets are dramatic, adventurous and fun, and they are an important consideration when choosing a carpet.

Practically speaking, it can mask a multitude of spills, spots and wear. Even a subtle pattern can help to conceal any blemishes. Pattern adds detail to a room, whether it's geometric, floral or a simple check. It also brings character and complexity to the overall design.

From a contemporary take on traditional designs or to create a truly heritage impression we have a wide selection of beautiful patterns and designs for every taste and style.

From Axminster Carpets of Devon, Brintons, Ulster Carpets, Whitestone Weavers, Woodward Grosvenor and Goodacre, from traditional to Laura Ashley designs, Kings has everything you will need to transform your room. We are one of the original woven Axminster and Wilton suppliers in the country. Our knowledge of these products is second to none. Here are some examples...


The Brintons Abbeyglen Woven Axminster  

This plaid collection is named after the striking castle which sits high above Connemara. The five designs are inspired by the county that the plaid represents and the warm earth colours used give the carpets a rich natural quality.








Brintons Timorous Beasties Yellow Ruskin Butterfly 

Known for their beautiful, dramatic textiles and wallpapers, Timorous Beasties began by creating rugs for Brintons. This season, for the first time, they have designed a carpet collection. Available in three widths 1, 3 and 4 metres wide, this stunning design is suitable for extra heavy domestic use.


Brintons Laura Ashley Woven Axminster

The Laura Ashley palette of soft honeys, pinks and greens looks great in modern homes and is very easy to live with. Available in three widths 0.91 metres, 2.74 metres and 3.66 metres wide, this pretty design would look beautiful in any home. 








Flooring is the cornerstone of any design scheme. Once you decide on the carpeting of a space, the wall colour, window treatment, fabrics and furnishings will all fall into place. So what is on the floor-whether it's a block colour or an elaborate pattern- will create the atmosphere for an entire room. For all your carpet needs, look no further than Kings Interiors!
