Designer Rugs has recently introduced MR Carpet – a new collection of monochromatic Axminster carpet from – produced for the local market exclusively my their in-house experts Johnathon Murray and Shaun Russell. Exploring the latest trends on geometric wall-to-wall carpeting, the collection has a signature menswear-inspired twist, featuring masculine prints in a high quality, versatile product.
“We wanted to create a collection around a classic tartan, along with other designs to compliment it” says Russell. “After many request from clients for simple black and white carpet, we perceived a place in the market for MR Carpet – geometric designs with our personal menswear signature.”
While hard floor surfaces offer a slick finish to a space, the tactile luxury, warmth and ease offered by carpet assures its lasting reputation as a popular floor covering for years to come. The tartan, floral and stripe designs offered by MR Carpet not only provide these practical offerings, but also carry a strong and contemporary aesthetic that is guaranteed to perform in high traffic areas.
MR Carpet is suitable for a wide range of projects, from residential to large scale commercial fit outs. The classic colour offering and timeless designs ensure this high quality carpet will shine in a great number of design situations across both residential and commercial applications (and beyond!).
