What it’s like to live with

Where it works

Bedrooms, sitting rooms and landings, where a carpet is there to be walked on barefoot. It is rated extra heavy domestic so it will take a hall and stairs perfectly well, but the depth of it is rather wasted somewhere you only ever cross in shoes.

Five widths

Lumora runs 4.57m, 4.00m, 3.00m, 2.00m and 1.00m, so the width can suit the room rather than the room having to suit the width. Most bedrooms and sitting rooms take a 4.00m or 4.57m with no seam at all — and on a plain a seam has no pattern to hide behind, so avoiding one is always the better answer. The 1.00m is a runner width for stairs.

Worth knowing

Depth of pile means depth underfoot, so check your doors clear before you commit, particularly internal doors that already sit close to the floor. A plain shows pile direction too, so every piece has to run the same way or one colour reads as two. Underlay wants to be firm rather than soft; a soft one under a carpet this heavy exaggerates every footmark.

See it

Ten quiet neutrals separate far more clearly in daylight than under our lights, and depth like this is something you have to stand on rather than look at. The displays are at Lostock Hall, and we will book a sample out so you can put it down at home, walk on it barefoot and see the colour in your own rooms morning and evening.
