My son recommended Len and the team to install my carpet as he had also had a great result. Very professional and happy to offer advice after installation to care for my carpet. I highly recommend Carpets By Design as your choice to support a local business.
I love my new carpets and chose the higher end range with no regrets.
A big thank you to Len and staff. After moving in to our new home we soon discovered that the existing carpet was in very poor condition and our furniture was arriving in a couple of days. We phoned Carpets by Design and they were able to help us out, replacing the old with new. Len brought out samples so that we could match it with existing tiles. It looks fantastic. Well done Len and Co.
We have just had our flooring installed in our new home and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Our new carpet and vinyl planking looks amazing. Very satisfied with the customer service as well - Len went out of his way to meet us on his day off and provided us with excellent advice and heaps of samples to aid in our decisions. Thanks Carpets By Design team!

Benefits of Wool Carpets
The many benefits of wool nylon blend carpets can be best experienced over the years when you do not have to frequently invest in changing carpets. Not to mention that wool is a renewable resource making it environmentally friendly. Here are some of the finest properties of wool carpets that offer great comfort and benefits. Let us take a look at them:
- Ultimate Renewable Fibre - There is an extensive supply of wool and the fact that it is a natural product makes it the ultimate renewable fibre. It is always accessible within a gap of 9-12 months.
- Biodegradable Product - Wool carpet can return to nature as easily as they are provided to us by nature. They are composed of amino acids and can break down to offer potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen to plants when mixed in the soil. So, wool carpet, even when dumped, give way to life and offer food to plants.
- Flexible & Durable - Wool carpet is elastic, resilient, and highly reliable. Wool carpets are one of the finest natural and synthetic fibres. Their composition is similar to that of coil spring that allows these carpets to withstand heavy pressure for years. They are so flexible even after heavy traffic that they can maintain an aesthetic appearance for years on end.
- Flame Retardant - Wool is a flame-retardant material. which means that it will catch fire but not support the flame. So, when you remove the source of the fire away from your wool carpet, it will self-extinguish due to the moisture it holds within. So, cigarette burns and minor fire splats do not harm wool carpets.
- Warm, Cool, Cozy & Comfortable - Wool carpets have the best insulating properties that come of use throughout the different seasons. The unique chemical composition of wool carpets allows them to regulate your home’s temperature manually. So, you have a cool surrounding on warm summer days and a warm, cosy setting on a chilly winter day.
- Water-Repellent - It is also a naturally water-repellent material because wool fibre surfaces have waxy scales that overlap. This makes the wool carpet shower-proof. It is easily noticeable how quickly the droplets roll off the carpet fibres.
- Lower Static Electricity - Due to high water retention properties, wool carpets are poor in static electricity. This means that there is lesser dirt. Also, wool’s lower surface energy helps in keeping the carpets clean compared to other fibres.
- Hypo-allergenic - The wool carpet fibres hold minute dust particles until the carpets are cleaned or vacuumed. This reduces the chances of harmful pollutants floating in the air of your living space, thereby minimising the chances of allergies.
- Affordability & Comfort - Wool carpets offer more comfort than what they cost. They are safe and prevent accidents inside homes. These products are highly affordable and provide excellent comfort all year round.

How To Choose Stylish Carpet Colours
There is no strict rule when it comes to choosing the right carpet colours. It all depends on your personal preferences and the overall décor of your home. If you want your carpet to stand out and be the focal point of your room, then you can choose a bolder colour or pattern. However, if you prefer a more subtle look, then a neutral coloured carpet would be a better option. You should also keep in mind the size of your room when choosing carpet colours – darker colours can make a small space feel even smaller, while lighter colours can help to brighten up a room and make it appear larger. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide what colour or pattern will best suit your home.
Are Wool Carpets Stain Resistant
No carpet is completely stain proof, but wool carpets are more stain resistant than other types of carpet. Wool fibre surfaces have waxy scales that overlap, which makes the natural fibre of the wool carpet water repellent. So, if you do spill something on your wool carpet, it will be less likely to absorb the liquid and cause a stain. However, it is still important to act quickly and blot the spill with a clean cloth to prevent it from spreading. Therefore wool carpet is the natural choice for high traffic areas and can last many years.
Wool Carpet
Wool carpets offer innumerable benefits, which make them the top flooring option for residential and commercial spaces. The properties of the natural fibre in wool carpet, like water resistance, high durability, biodegradable nature, 100% original material satisfaction, home insulation, sound absorption and fire-retardant qualities cannot be overlooked if safety is your priority. A wool blend carpet can also provide the benefits of the natural fibre of wool with cotton, silk or nylon. In cold temperatures, a wool carpet or a wool blend will keep your feet warm and with the added advantage of acting as an insulation against the rising cold. In warmer more humid climates, the natural fibre in the wool assist in regulating the humidity in the room.
