May 18th, 2026


Flooring plays a defining role in shaping the look, feel and performance of commercial interiors. Among the many options available, rugs and Axminster carpets offer unique opportunities for both durability and design expression.

This session explores how these materials can be specified effectively in high-traffic environments, balancing aesthetics with long-term performance. It looks at considerations such as wear resistance, maintenance and acoustic benefits.

Attendees will also gain insight into how pattern, colour and texture can be used strategically to define spaces and enhance user experience. The session highlights the versatility of these materials across sectors including hospitality, workplace and public spaces.

By understanding both the technical and creative potential of rugs and Axminster carpets, designers can make more informed and impactful choices.

If material selection is part of your day-to-day work, this session offers useful guidance you can put into practice immediately. Join on 20 May 2026, 3:00–4:00pm AEST and earn 1 formal CPD point.

‘Rugs & Axminster Carpet for Commercial Applications’ is presented by Designer Rugs and is just one of 17 online, free and live-presented CPD Live sessions taking place from 19–22 May 2026.
