It's official, fitted carpet is back, and these are the best carpet brands you need to know about

A country living room with a wood burning stove, two sofas opposite one another and two pink patterned armchairs in the foreground. In the middle of the room is a large yellow upholstered ottoman with a tray on top filled with books and plants. .

What lies beneath our feet is one of the first things many of us notice in a room, even if subconsciously. When we think of desirable flooring options, we often think of the enduring appeal of parquet flooring, beautiful, large flagstone floors, or the classic, seemingly effortless look of exposed floorboards. Carpet ideas at some undefinable point fell out of fashion somewhat, perhaps as some of us cringe at the '80s throwback that is deep-pile, migraine-inducing, bright carpet that smothered every room from bathroom to dining room. However, carpets, if chosen well and appropriately placed, are, in our opinion, a must.

When considering all of the carpet trends, from herringbone and Greek key to bold and colourful patterns, clearly choosing an aesthetically sustainable carpet is vital, since it's not something you will want to be swapping in and out as the years roll by.
