Commercial Carpet

Having done more research into carpets with in pub i have come across two companies that special in carpet for commercial use. They are Cavalier carpets and Gradus. The samples i have collected and scanned in have been used in either restaurants or pub before.

Cavalier Carpets

These two samples are both from Cavalier Carpets. Their website is www.cavaliercarpets.co.uk.
1. Criterion Regal - Brown Sugar
2. Rustic Choice - Milestone
The colour of the second carpet is more what i had in mind for this scheme. Although thet have been used in commercial spaces before they are quite thick and fluffy and wouldn't be suitable for this pub.


Gradus - Contract Interior Solutions












The samples above are from a company called Gradus. Their website is www.gradusworld.com/
1. Brickworks - Ashby
2. Genus - Cornfield
3. Cityscene - Caramel
4. Genus - Wild Mushroom
5. Cityscene - Raffia
6. Volnay - Honey Gold
 The carpets i would consider for this design would be 1, 2 and 5. The other three samples are really to dark for the look I am trying to create. The pattern of sample 1 is quite textural but feel it would be a block of colour on the floor that may look heavy. Sample 5 I like but due to the walls not being parallel in some area the straight lines in this would highlight that fact. Sample 2 is my favourite because of the the pattern and colours. Also its main attribute is that it is apparently really easy to keep clean. This is the carpet that i will be carryinf forward in my design.
