Two stylish new wool carpet ranges from Feltex celebrate the natural beauty of New Zealand. There’s nothing quite like natural wool carpet underfoot to create a feeling of cosy softness in your home.
Carpet is not only comfortable – it’s also a great way to add style to an interior space.
Feltex’s neutral-toned wool carpets add the perfect balance of organic texture and modern warmth to any space. Black, white, ivory, beige, grey, brown, ochre, and rust are all shades that can be layered and mixed without much risk of clashing or a design faux pas. Due to the flexibility and versatility of these colours, there’s also little chance your floor will go out of style or feel dated anytime soon.
Wool fibre is renewable, biodegradable, and grown right here in Aotearoa. New Zealand wool carpets from Feltex will be the first thing you notice when you get out of bed in the morning, starting your day with softness and warmth without compromising on style.
8th Wonder is a range of beautiful chunky wool carpets with a stylish honeycomb pattern. Made of quality New Zealand wool that’s locally spun and tufted; the colours in the range are named after parts of the country that awe and inspire. 8th Wonder features colours such as Rangitoto (a dark volcanic grey), Waitaki River (a stony grey), and Oamaru, a natural white emulating the town’s famous white stone – and coincidentally the place where the wool yarn for these carpets is spun. The yarn is heathered, meaning there’s subtle colour variation within the fibre reflecting the variation of colour in our landscape. With a luxurious 60oz thick and deep pile, it’s lusciously soft to walk on, and best of all, incredibly forgiving when installed, hiding imperfections like crooked walls.
The Crevelli II range is a much tighter loop pile carpet, available in a practical 4-metre width. The contrasting two-toned palette of this collection creates variation and visual texture, adding interest and depth to a room. Featuring six modern colours all crafted from locally grown wool, this carpet range has been designed with busy lifestyles in mind and is also manufactured right here in Aotearoa. Showcasing a subtly decorative linear pattern, Crevelli II evokes natural beauty and celebrates timeless style and a simple way of living.
It’s important to think about carpet on a practical level. No surface in your home will face more impacts and wear and tear than your floor. Luckily, despite being soft, wool is also naturally hard wearing. It is not only an excellent thermal and acoustic insulator, but also stain-resistant. The wool fibres are a structure consisting of overlapping scales, arranged much like roof shingles. These scales make it hard for dirt to adhere to the fibre and help fleck it away. Wool is also a non-allergenic fibre, which is resistant to the growth of bacteria and dust mites. Lastly, your wool carpet will help reduce unpleasant odours in your home as the fibre actively locks away odours to help neutralise smells.
Practicalities aside, you can’t go past the good looks and gorgeous softness of natural New Zealand wool carpets. Head to feltex.com to find your closest store and request free samples of your favourite carpets.
