SS17 Checkmate

The top interior designers advise that, when redecorating a room, you should start by choosing your flooring design, then build your theme around it. Tapi Carpets will help you find your perfect starting point. Just bring in some photos of themes you like, and let’s have a look together.

Retro twist on a grandeur design

The traditional black and white checked flooring has been popular in British homes since the 15th century, although we probably associate it most with kitchens, bathrooms and hallways from the ‘20s and ‘30s. The rise of the retro trend in home interiors has brought this style firmly back in demand and these floors work particularly well with furniture or walls in powder puff candy colours or fudge and fleshy tones.

Bare foot feeling

Our vinyl comes with 3 different backings that will give you the ‘bare foot feeling’ you are looking for. Soft Cushion backing provides springy underfoot softness and comfort. A Firm backing will give you a firm and flat underfoot feeling, while a Felt backing is a slightly softer feel and helps absorb small imperfections in your sub floor of up to 2mm.

Easier than a Sunday morning!

If you are looking for practical and durable flooring, vinyl is one to explore. All Tapi vinyls are both water and slip resistant, making them fabulous choices for wet areas, such as kitchens, bathrooms and utility areas. A vinyl floor covering will reduce sound transmission and keep the warmth in! Add in the fact that it’s super comfortable, easy to clean and great for pets and children, vinyl really ticks a lot of boxes! Oh, and did we mention all our vinyl floorings come with up to 15 years wear guarantee?

Designs to suit any taste

The yarn adds another dimension to your carpet. Wool and wool rich carpets are warm, natural and remarkably resilient. They are an eco-friendly choice, providing a unique softness and luxury. If you’re looking for a fibre that’s tough and hardwearing, polypropylene is up to the task. It’s also highly stain resistant, durable and easy to clean, so you won’t need to treat it as though you’re treading on eggshells. Nylon is the toughest synthetic carpet fibre and noted for its durability. Nylon carpet is less likely to show indentations after furniture has rested on it, so it looks newer for longer. Nylon carpets can often have designs printed on them.If you’re going to put your carpet through its paces, nylon will have no problem keeping up.
