Getting new flooring is an exciting time, but there
are a couple of things you need to do to before
it arrives. Generally, installation will start within 2-3
weeks of your purchase date, so you should use
that time for these important preparations.
Floors
-Remove any existing floorcovering. Carpet Court can easily organise this for a minimal fee. If you are doing it yourself, it is important NOT to move or remove the existing wooden strips.
-To make removal easier, vacuum your existing floorcoverings one final time and open all doors and windows.
-After removal, clean and vacuum the floor to remove dust and dirt.

Darren Palmer
From carpets to concrete, tiles or natural woods; the choices for flooring are endless. Interior Designer, Carpet Court
Ambassador and ‘The Block’ Judge, Darren Palmer, has these tips to help choose the right flooring for your home.
Who will be using the space?
I live in a home with two dogs, a cat and a three year old son, so these inhabitants come with a certain set of rules.
Whether you have pets, young children, teenagers or if you’re a woman who favours stilettos, you will have a different set of
requirements. Consider all of the people, furry family members included, who will live in the space and think about what flooring
will best accommodate them. Do you want something cool under foot like tiles or concrete, or carpet to keep your feet warm in
winter? Wood flooring is a happy medium and can be made warmer with rugs.
What level of durability does the space require?
Dark wooden floors aren’t a great match for pet hair and claws, nor are soft wooden floors ideal for high heels. As a general
rule, if you have young children look for softer floor finishes, the hardest being wood. If you are concerned about spills
ruining your carpet, look for a product that has some variation so you can mask minor staining. With school-aged children or
teenagers, consider surfaces that wipe clean, such as tiles or wood floors. With adults-only inhabitants – you have free reign.
What mood do you want to create?
How do you want the space to look and feel? The problem most people face is sorting through the
endless options, so tools like Carpet Court’s revolutionary 3D Design Studio are invaluable. You can
create virtual rooms in 3D to see how Carpet Court’s extensive product range will look in your home.
Upload pictures of your own rooms or choose from a selection of room designs, and select a range of
flooring options including carpet, bamboo, vinyl, laminate, timber and rugs to see which best suits your
space. The tool allows you to insert additional furnishings and change the colour of walls and fittings so
you can virtually ‘try before you buy’. Visit www.carpetcourt.com.au for more information.
What’s your budget?
With so many choices you’re really only limited by your creativity and finances. The good news is that
you can find an appropriate solution at every price point, from value to prestige.
Each product has its pros and cons, so consider how you’ll use the space and whether the product you
want will live up to your lifestyle. It will take planning, consideration and imagination, but updating your
flooring is one of the best ways to bring your home to life.

Your budget is probably the single most defining element of your renovation. However,
knowing exactly how much money you should spend isn’t as easy as checking your bank
account for spare funds. A good rule of thumb is that projects always take 20 per cent longer
and cost up to 20 per cent more than you think!

I always work from the bottom up and it’s never been easier to revamp your
floors with Carpet Courts exclusive Laneway Collection of vinyl planks and tiles.
You won’t need adhesives or sealing so you can lay it down yourself. Its unique
honeycomb backing keeps the flooring in place and a hygienic polyurethane
surface treatment protects the vinyl, and makes it easy to clean.
To create an open and light filled space, it’s important to pick the right
window furnishings. The fastest and easiest way to update your windows,
Carpet Courts Aria Readymade Blinds Collection is available in roller and
venetian styles.
The issue people commonly have is they have a bunch of
elements they like but the room doesn’t work as a collective
look. This is where decoration comes in and a popular
unifying piece for redecorating is a rug. The
right rug is the one that fits your style, your
budget and is the right size for your room. A
large range of rugs available in store at Carpet

bright patterns to define individual spaces.

Apartment living comes with modern looks and great
convenience, but brings with it space and storage challenges.
Here are some suggestions from interior designer and Carpet
Court ambassador Darren Palmer on how to optimise your
smaller living spaces and get the look for less.
all colours work in symphony with each other to create the
style and mood you’re after. A lighter colour palette will offer
more space during the day but if you spend more time in the
apartment at night, or if the space is inherently dark, darker
tones will help blur the boundaries where one wall meets
the next, creating the illusion of space.
Splendour
Planning: When choosing furniture for a small space it’s
important to get the right fit. If the piece is too small the space
will seem smaller, while if it’s too big it might look out
of proportion. With built in furniture, lift things off the floor
wherever possible. The bathroom vanities and TV entertainment
unit being attached to the wall allows you to see more of the
floor, giving the illusion of space. For a floor that fits try Carpet
Court’s Ardour range for idyllic neutral flooring tones. Find the
full Ardour carpet range at www.carpetcourt.com.au.
Delicate speckles add visual intrigue
and designer appeal with all the luxury
and splendor of 100% Permasoft®.
Muted colour palette is the perfect
complement to today’s modern homes.

Mirrors & Shelving: Nothing creates
the illusion of space quite as well as reflection
so to really ramp up the wow factor, consider
mirroring a whole section of wall. Shelves are
the secret to success for any apartment.
They offer a great storage solution, decrease

outdoors even when we’re inside. Roller or venetian blinds
introduce a simple contemporary look and offer controlled
natural light for apartment living. Contrast the colour of your
living
clutter and provide the
added benefit
of allowing division between
different zones
in an open space. Use book shelves to display your
favourite pieces, a succulent or smal flowering plant
and a candle, and you’ll have a neat, character
filled styling vignette.
Flooring: The right flooring is essential
for an apartment and can dramatically detract
or add to the illusion of space. When working with
a smaller area, keep the flooring consistent from
entryway to living room rather than segmenting the
zones. Nothing adds a degree of sophistication
or style more than the crisp long lines
of hardwood timber.

Winter Decorating Tips
Winter Colour Palette
Embrace winter hues with misty tones in plum, greys and
blues or earthy bolds in oranges, reds and greens. Take
winter design and colour inspiration from the environment
including the beautiful changing winter skies and
landscapes. Update your rooms every season by working
with a neutral palette focusing colour on decor items and
soft furnishings.

Soft Furnishings for Winter Warmth
Conjure warmth and comfort with a combination of natural materials

mixed with woollen throws and textured cushions complete a well
decorated winter interior. For a soft warm feeling under bare feet on cold
winter mornings, try wool loop carpets for added warmth and interest with
chunky textures. Get the look with my Provincial Lane Pont Des Amoureux

I always recommend finishing a room with live flowers or plants. It’s a great
way to make a room feel lived in and breathes life into a space. Winter can be
a tricky month for flowers but if you look hard enough you can still find some
beautiful autumn blooms. Hyacinths are in season and can come in muted
colours or misty tones. Ornamental kale is also available along with ranunculies
which come into season at the end of winter.

There is never one answer to design challenges but Carpet
Court can ease the burden of renovator’s remorse and help you
get the look you love from the floor up. Tile choice is one of the
internal finishes with the most solutions and variations so here
are some tips to help you choose the right one for you.
“I believe the home is the ultimate in self-expression. You want
your personal style to shine through and updating your blinds
is a quick and easy way to redecorate any room,” she said.
As with all interior design decisions the first place to start is to set
your parameters and understand your constraints. Tiles for living
spaces will have different requirements to those of a bathroom,
outdoor space or pool. Interior designer and Carpet Court
ambassador Darren Palmer recommends checking with your tile
suppliers that the tile you’re specifying is right for the area you’re
thinking of using it.
“You’ll also need to look at things like gloss level and slip rating
from space to space. Some tiles may work better on walls than
floors or some may suit one space better than another, so make
sure you double check with suppliers and installers to be sure
you have made an appropriate choice,” he said.

Blinds can be made from a whole host of different materials,
so it’s important to pick the right ones for you. From economical
to luxury, Carpet Court offers plenty of options that will get you
the perfect designer fit and look.

In terms of style there are many different directions
to take your tile choices. You can browse by room,
trend or colour with Carpet Court to find the look
you love. Whether you’re after a contemporary
style or a feature, Australian TV personality
and Carpet Court ambassador
Shelley Craft said it’s
important to consider
what will suit your space.
“...Look at
things like glo
ss
level & slip
rating.”
“If you’re working with
a small space, large tiles
will look overpowering
and out of proportion. The
size, pattern, colour, texture
and gloss level of a tile can
change the feeling of a room so be sure you
know what you’re after,” she said.
Remember when you’re choosing the size and
shape of your tiles that there is a knock on effect
in terms of installation costs. The fussier the shape
or size, the more labour and higher costs.
Darren said the standard 600x300 or 300x300
tile will be about as basic as you can get in terms
of ease of installation, while small mosaics sheets,
whilst fairly common, take a little more care and
craftsmanship, so may cost you more to lay.
“Basically the more attention to detail your tiles
require to lay the better and generally more
expensive the trades person needs to be. Also
be sure when you’re buying your tiles that you are
working to quantities handed down to you by your
builder or tiler. You don’t want to over or under
order,” he said.

selected Carpet Court stores nationwide or online

The perfect
fit with
blinds
Whether you’re decorating a new home
or updating an old one, Carpet Court has your
windows covered. Striking the right balance
between style and practicality can seem a daunting
task, but with these top tips from Carpet Court the
job is made effortless. Carpet Court can help you
choose the right window coverings to give your
home privacy, insulation, light control, security
and style.
Before you buy, consider what material will best
suit your lifestyle. Do you have young kids with
sticky fingers running about? Or are you trying
to get some privacy from those nosy neighbours?
Whether you’re after venetians, vertical blinds,
shutters or roller blinds, Carpet Court is offering
you the chance to find the perfect fit.
product spotlight

Whether you’re after complete privacy or very little, we have
the blinds to suit. Interior designer and Carpet Court ambassador
Darren Palmer said privacy and controlling the level of light are
two of the most important practical considerations when
it comes to choosing window treatments.
“When it comes to bedrooms you should always consider not
just daytime privacy but night time privacy and daytime light
tightness, which will only come in the form of a blockout window
covering. Pairing up a translucent or semi opaque blind with
a block out blind will allow you all levels of light and privacy
control you need allowing you also to roll both up concealing the
blinds whilst allowing full light to stream into the room, he said.”
Carpet Court believes window coverings should be both
decorative and functional. You don’t want them sticking
out like a sore thumb, so choose a blind that suits your
style and theme. Our Aria readymade blinds are the
easiest and fastest way to update a room. Available
in a range of classic colours, Carpet Court can deliver
your new blinds straight to your door.
“Whether you’re after a cosy or modern look, you’ll be
surprised what difference a great window covering can
make to your room,” Shelley said.

Why
hard flooring?
While the choice of hard flooring over carpet
is largely based on your personal design
preference, hard flooring does offer some
unique benefits.
Generally, hard flooring requires less
maintenance, it’s easy to clean and it’s great for
allergy sufferers. As timber and bamboo floors
are from a naturally occurring resource, they are
the perfect choice for those looking to create a
more environmentally friendly interior.
So which hard flooring option is right for you?
Timber
Designers love this premium floor covering option
for its ability to add character, and textural appeal
to any room. Timber floors are made from
real wood, and each board features distinct
knots and grain variations to give your home a
unique look.

superior stability and comes professionally
finished with a wear-resistant coating. Easy to
install and maintain, timber floors can be walked
on immediately.
Timber flooring is suitable for all living areas
including lounge and dining rooms, kitchens,
hallways and bedrooms.
Bamboo
Different to any other hard flooring, Bamboo is
one of the hottest looks on the market. With
its distinctive finish, bamboo makes a dramatic
impact in your home without impacting the
environment. This environmentally friendly
renewable source of flooring is recognised for its
hardness and exceptional durability, making it the
perfect choice for heavy traffic areas.
Provincial Lane Strandwoven bamboo has a
Unilin locking system that ensures easy,
gap-free installation.
Bamboo flooring is suitable for all living areas
including lounge and dining rooms, kitchens,
hallways and bedrooms.
Laminate
Laminate offers you the look and feel of real wood
for a fraction of the price. Installation is easy with
no mess, no fuss. And once it’s installed, it’s a
look you’ll love for a lifetime. Laminate is scratch
resistant, hygienic, easy to clean and very
low maintenance.

on immediately.
Laminate flooring is suitable for all living areas
including lounge and dining rooms, kitchens,

Spring Decorating Tips
Spring colour palette
What works best for you will depend on your style and
your current furniture and décor scheme. To lighten-up
your living space, add some cooling blues and greens or if
you’re looking to add some glamour, try using metallics or
some simple contrast with neutrals.

Pineapple Salsa
Prep Time 15 minutes
The simple things
Freshen up your linen. We’re done with flannette and electric
blankets so lighten up your mood with some colourful, pastel,
crushed linen. It will save you making the bed every day as it looks
fantastic rumpled and relaxed. Pair pink, grey and natural linen or
any desaturated colour combination that takes your fancy.
Makes 2 1/2 cups or 10 (1/4-cup) servings.
This tropical salsa gets its heat from ají
amarillo, a yellow chilli from Peru. A bright
accompaniment to tortilla chips, quesadillas,
grilled meats and seafood.
Brighten up your room with soft furnishings
Cooks tip
Cushions and soft furnishings are a great way to change the mood
of your home in an afternoon. Try decorating with pinks and yellows
to give your living space brighter look. There’s nothing quite like a
rug to refresh and revamp a room. Visit www.carpetcourt.com.au
for some great spring inspired options and bring sophisticated style
and texture to your home with Carpet Court’s latest rug collection.
Spring Clean
It’s a cliché but take the opportunity to sweep out all that winter soot and dust
and spring clean. Go further than a good clean though. Organise your space
and provide anything that doesn’t deserve to be out on show with its own
hiding space – neatly organised, contained and tucked away out of view. A
few good ideas are to box up individual pairs of shoes into their own plastic
tub with a drawer on the front. It’s also time to tuck the big winter jackets and
heavy clothing away on your top shelves and create some space for your
summer wardrobe.
Add a natural touch
Spring is the time for blooms to do their thing so gather up large bunches of the
same flower and display them proudly on your coffee or dining table. Several
bunches through the house will lighten your mood and bring that glorious spring
feeling in from the outdoors. The more flowers, the lighter the mood and adding
in some with a beautiful scent just stimulates more senses.

Summer Decorating Tips
Summer colour palette
Update your rooms every season by working with a neutral
palette focusing colour on décor items and soft furnishings.
Cool down your home visually with lots of cooling light blues,
silvers, whites and neutrals. Layering in these colours will allow
you to change the focus from the bright colours of spring to
something a bit more calming and cooling to get you through
these balmy summer nights.

A Splash of Colour
It’s all about getting ready for the warmer months ahead. Conjure
charm with oversized rugs in light and earthy colours. When it comes
to rugs the bigger the better, if it’s big enough to fill the room it’s the
right size. Tiny rugs look stingy while a big generous rug that sits
under the sofa, chairs and occasional furniture feels luxurious. Check
out Carpet Court’s rug range at www.carpetcourt.com.au for some
great summer inspired options.
Hardwood And Texture Combinations
Light oak furniture pieces are the quintessential addition for summer inspired
interiors. Get the look with large timber framed mirrors, small side tables
and long breakfast buffet tables finished with raw and natural varnish. Use
gorgeous floorboards with nutty stains as a base for all seasons. Get the look
with Stained Oak Timber floorboards from Darren Palmer’s Provincial Lane
range at Carpet Court www.carpetcourt.com.au.
Window Hangings To Keep Cool
A well designed interior will be both beautiful and provide everyday
functionality and comfort. Summer window treatments should be light and
breezy. White, off white or light coloured sheers blowing in the wind will
make you feel cooler, even if you aren’t. It’s a good visual trick and it adds
another layer of luxury to your home. Carpet Court’s Aria Custom Made
Blinds Collection gives you the freedom to choose the style, design and
colour you want with readymade and custom window dressing options.

A classic Indian chicken and bell pepper

Serve as a handheld sandwich wrapped

raita sauce to ignite all of the senses.
1/2 cup chia seeds
1 cup Meko coconut water
3/4 cup frozen raspberries
1/2 cup light or full-fat coconut milk
1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
1.Mix chia seeds and the coconut water in a
bowl, and soak for at least 10-15 minutes.
(Until it forms a gel-like consistency.)
2.Using a hand blender mix coconut milk,
raspberries and maple syrup.
3.In a glass or glass jar scoop in quarter of
the chia mixture, then top with a layer of
raspberry sauce. Repeat for the last half of
the mixture and in a second dish.
4.Serve chilled and top with shredded
coconut, nuts and raspberries.
There’s nothing glamorous about fly screens but if you want to keep the
biters at bay and you don’t have the ability to install screens, consider
a suspended mosquito net. Slung over a four post bed or hanging
from a central point in the ceiling above your bed, it will allow you to
leave the windows open but keep that annoying high pitched buzz from
destroying your dream state.

Nothing transforms a room as quickly and affordably quite like a
new rug. In fact, rugs are possibly the easiest DIY flooring option
you’ll find.
Rugs create a zone, provide a unifying base to ground furniture
and give a room foundation.
From traditional to contemporary, in classic neutrals or bold
colours, Carpet Court’s extensive new rug range has a rug to
suit any room. So which rug is right for you?

With a wide variety of rug materials on offer, choosing the

to start is to think about who will be living in the space, how

Size is often the thing that rug buyers get wrong.
A great rule of thumb is if it’s big enough to fill the
room it’s the right size. Tiny rugs look stingy while a
big generous rug that sits under the sofa, chairs and
occasional furniture feels luxurious. If in doubt go
bigger - as long as it fits into your room.
Current trends include thick chunky wool loop rugs in
soft neutral colours are a classic but popular look.
Likewise, large statement rugs with patterns and
bright colours are finding their way into homes
at the moment. People are being quite daring with
their rug choices because they’re so easy to change
and update with the seasons.

The Fashion of Flooring
how to choose your look
The elements of good design
Colour, design, tone and texture are all basic elements of interior design and
can be used to help you choose your flooring.
1. Choose your colour
The flooring you choose for your home will set the foundation for your entire décor and, importantly,
determine the look and feel of your home. To help you make your choice a little easier, follow these top tips
interior designers use when considering the style of flooring that’s right for you.
2. Define your design. Are you drawn to patterns, stripes, squares, circles
or sleek lines? Horizontal lines suggest calmness and stability. Vertical
lines soar and symbolise formality and aspiration.
3. Set the tone. How light or dark do you want the area to feel?
4. Get in touch with texture. All surfaces are essentially variations of rough
or smooth. Smooth surfaces are laminates, polished timber, tiles and
painted surfaces. Rough surfaces are brick, stone, marble and carpet.
The many colours of colour
Because colour has a big influence on how we feel, it helps to have a little
understanding of how colour works. One of the most important things to know is
the difference between warm and cool colours. In simple terms, warm colours are
perceived as lively, while cool colours are more calming and relaxing. Warm colours
are typically reds, orange and yellows and cool colours are blues, greens and purples.
cool
warm
What’s trending?
Different colour schemes have different effects in a home.
monochromatic
contrasting
Relaxed interiors more your
style? Choose monochromatic
colour schemes.
Want cutting edge style?
Choose contrasting colour
schemes.
Watch your tone
Tone is the lightness and darkness of any colour and
varies from the brightest whites to the deepest blacks.
Tone tips: Using a dark tone on a floor will create the
illusion of a smaller surface area, while a light toned floor
will expand the feeling of space. Using a dark tone on
the floor and the ceiling will create the illusion of lowering
the ceiling and expanding the width of the room.
90
harmonious
Want to add intensity
to your colour scheme?
Choose harmonious colours.
And for a timeless
look that never goes
out of style, choose
neutral colours with
a leaning towards
either a warm or
cool hue.
Harmonious
tones create
a relaxing,
peaceful vibe..
While trends may come and go, traditional
and contemporary styles are always in
vogue. The secret to keeping these two
key looks on trend is to accessorise with
the latest ‘in’ colours, soft furnishings and
fabrics.
So what’s your style?
Traditional can be broadly defined as
comfortable, classic interiors. While it may
take its inspiration from the past, this style
can be mixed with other interior styles to
create a unique look.
Some traditional looks such as Formal
Regency and Federation may have more
formal and lavish touches such as highly
polished walnut and oak flooring dressed
with Oriental rugs, or antique baroque
chairs and side tables.
while contrasting
tones make a
room more lively
and energetic.
Contemporary style is described as
casual and clean, with open spaces and
neutral colours at its core. Unlike ultra
modern design, contemporary interiors
are soft and comfortable, with rustic
touches such as natural timber, wrought
iron and white washed furniture.
