Talking about carpet (and gin) with the fabulous Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen

How would you describe your interior style in one sentence?

Gin-fuelled maximalism.

What is so important about getting the flooring right into your design schemes?

You’ve got to think of the floor as being the carbohydrate.. get it wrong and it’s a miracle of stodgy underwhelming under-excitement.

Get it right and the floor nourishes the room, stabilises the room, and provides an appetising basis for the flashes of chilli-infused protein that all create a mouth-watering scheme.

What made you choose Brintons for your renovation, and why the Perpetual Textures collection?

Brintons and I are old old friends. Brintons are nearly always my go-to because I know their carpet will always be right.

Perpetual Textures is such an incredibly well-behaved collection of patterns and sits so eloquently with the more exotic themes within the scheme.

You've used the carpet in the bedroom - how does it add a new layer of design to the space?

The master suite is a big area that leads into the dressing room and on into a raised bathroom. The offset of diagonal geometry of Perpetual Textures is a perfect way of linking these different sized spatial experiences.

How does the grey of the carpets interact with the rest of the colours in the space?

The grey is the perfect partner to coral, taking out any of oranges, excess heat and bringing dignity and elegance to this classic (lets face it very 1980s colour scheme).

Any reader tips for how to choose your perfect carpet?

Drink Gin and be brave!

A Modern Twist On A Plain Carpet

Carpet can completely transform your home making it feel cosy, warm and inviting. There’s nothing quite like getting home, kicking off your shoes and sinking your feet into a luxurious wool-rich carpet.

It’s often the last thing to be considered when it comes to planning a room, but at Brintons we firmly believe that you should start with the floor and work your way up.

Afterall, a wool-rich carpet will last for years so it's important to make the right choice.

The first thing to consider when choosing your carpet is colour. What kind of ambience do you want to create in your room?

The trend for all things natural and timeless uses simple and understated pieces and embraces natural materials such as wool, wicker, earthenware and sun drenched woods with a colour palette of warm whites and neutrals.

Maximalism is all about breaking the rules and letting your imagination run wild. Create bold colour clashes and mix with your favourite trinkets, mismatched textiles and art to create a haven of beautiful, bright colours.

From warm neutrals and creams through to bright reds, blues and greens, our Bell Twist collection offers  a complete specturm of colours so the most difficult decision you’ll have to make is deciding which one is your favourite from over 60 beautiful colours.

Inspired by the latest trends, we’ve added a range of ocean blues and soft dusky pinks to the collection. The new colours take inspiration from our beautiful planet Earth, from the warm earthy tones of Scorched Earth; a soft pinky tone to the rich blues of Azure and Ionian; greyed off green blues and the deep forest green of Mangrove, these colours all evoke the calming effects of nature bringing a contemporary feel to your home.

The new soft earthy tones like Burnt Sienna, Scorched Earth and Red Ochre will add warmth to any neutral interiors scheme making your space cosy and inviting. On the opposite end of the spectrum the deep forest green of Mangrove when paired with wood and leather give the effect of being in the depths of nature. Choose the gentle blues of Atlantic, Blue Juniper or Azure to bring a sense of calm and serenity to your interior.

Bell Twist is the ultimate hardwearing option that is suitable for any room in the house including high traffic areas like hallways. This carpet yarn has an extra twist added to the spinning process, which creates the renowned and textured surface.

Covid-19 Coronavirus

Dear Customer, client and followers of Brintons worldwide.

These are very clearly difficult times for the world as nations try to combat the global pandemic. At Brintons the safety of our people remains paramount and in line with advice from governments around the globe we have taken measures to close our offices worldwide and ensure our colleagues can work from the home environment.

We have also had to face the difficult decision to begin the process of suspending operations where appropriate to ensure the safety of our workforce.

These are unprecedented times. Please rest assured that your usual contacts are only a phone call away and much of the early stage work on custom projects can still continue, but we appreciate that for many businesses this will not be a priority.

Furthermore any orders for UK residential stock are therefore temporarily suspended with immediate effect.

We urge you to stay safe and to heed the medical advice , and together we look forward to the conclusion of this terrible pandemic soon.
