A lovely recent install conducted by our Wales and West region for JD Gym in Cardiff. 💪

Our Showhome of the Month for August was developed for Pickstock Homes at its Old Castle Fields site in Shropshire, where our designer Sadie Ward created the interior for the three-bedroom Tetbury. 💚
The super-luxe interior features a sophisticated gold and green colour palette, blending rich olive tones and golden accents. Sadie was sure to include a range of high-end finishes and elegant furnishings to ensure a finish that was both timeless and contemporary. 💕
Our Performance and Development team enjoyed a fantastic team building day earlier this month at GameShowAllStars in Sheffield, a game show themed activity bar that features a range of mini games, inspired by classic game shows. ⚡
The team took part in a number of those activities, including Countdown, Wheel of Fortune and Buzzer Be**er, and had a lot of fun!
Definitely one for the rest of us to try – looks brilliant!
Incentives are an excellent way to encourage a sale, particularly in the new build sector. 🙌
Our customers not only rely on us to provide the best choice of flooring, but also furniture, lighting and blinds to help ease along the sales process.
Many new home buyers love the prospect of lighting throughout their property, or window treatments for instant privacy – all already installed! These incentives make total sense, not just financially, but for convenience. 💡
After all, it’s the little things that make a big difference.
We’re incredibly proud that we hold a number of high-profile industry accreditations. ⭐
We’ve worked hard for each and every one, and they include the Supply Chain Sustainability School which is a learning programme focused on sustainability with the aim of upskilling those working in and around the built environment sector – we achieved Gold Member status last September! 🥇
Keep doing what you do team!
What a pleasure it was to work on this project for Taylor Wimpey, Manchester. 💕
Located on the outskirts of Blackburn, The Riven Stones development has been designed with sustainability in mind, with each home incorporating a variety of sustainability elements, including PV solar panels and EV charging capabilities.
To complement the sustainability aspects, we fitted Karndean’s Knight Tile collection in Grey Washed Oak which features a luxurious chevron design to the open plan kitchen and dining area, hallway and cloakroom.
We think you’ll agree it looks absolutely gorgeous, and a chevron design always helps to enhance the feeling of space within a property. 🥰
Our Commercial Director, Louise Walters and Head of Logistics, Simon Westley were delighted to receive the Highly Commended Reuse & Recycling Project of the Year Award at this year’s Carpet Recycling UK Awards (CRUK) in Birmingham. ♻
We’re always working hard to progress our recycling achievements and it’s amazing to continue to be recognised by CRUK.
Let’s polish off the week with a bit of flooring inspiration in the shape of this rather lovely Karndean wood-inspired luxury vinyl tile 🤍
Available in a whole host of finishes, including stone and marble designs, Karndean is an excellent choice for homeowners looking for a super-stylish finish, but without the hefty price tag of the real thing. We’re also big fans of the practicality aspects – easier to fit, and clean, it’s easy to see how it’s a winner among house buyers!
You can rely on us to deliver excellence to your next social housing project. ⭐
We are proud members of Procurement for Housing (PfH) on the flooring category of its EU compliant framework, meaning we have been appraised to deliver quality and excellence to our customers.

Our Central sales team had a great day at Doncaster races last Thursday with some of their fabulous customers Lovell Homes, Hoober Homes & Linell Homes 🏇
A great time was had by all 🤩
Our Site and Showhomes of the Month for July were created for Taylor Wimpey at its Bramcote Grange site in Coventry, where our team designed the interior for both the three-bedroom Byford and four-bedroom Standford.🥰
Sadie Ward was the designer for the Byford, which boasts a modern colour palette of warm browns, tans, oranges and greens, creating an inviting and cosy atmosphere throughout. 🧡🤎
The Sandford was designed by Olivia Cookson who implemented a luxury, earthy palette of blacks, creams and browns with accents of gold to create a rich and sophisticated interior. 🖤🤍
The summer holidays are with us – and whether you’re bracing for the chaos or ready to relax, there’s only one place we’re dreaming of – this gorgeous cosy bed. 😴
Our designers are perfectionists when it comes to detail and this bedroom is no exception. Luscious layered bedding, ambient lighting and a serene colour scheme is the formula for the perfect décor. 💙
Can our designers help you create the ultimate showhome scheme?
We were honoured to sponsor a hole at Ashgate Hospice's annual golf day last Friday ⛳

According to our interior designers, wall panelling is still a must-have decorative accessory.🤍
Adding depth, texture and interest to walls, we love how it can create both a traditional or contemporary feature within a home.
Our team absolutely love including panelling in their showhome designs, especially when they use Acupanel, a hand-crafted, sustainable wood panelling choice that instantly elevates an interior scheme.
Take a look at just some of the recent showhome schemes we’ve designed using wall panelling. 🎨
