Earn Your Designer Stripes with Margo Selby

We have artists and their stripes with Bridget Riley, the fashionable Paul Smith barcode and now we have designer stripes for interiors, beautifully crafted carpets by woven textile designer Margo Selby for Alternative Flooring. The perfect striped wool carpet choice for stairs, rugs, runners and wall-to-wall flooring.

Pattern Play!

Forget stars and stripes, florals and stripes make the perfect pairing this summer. Pattern play is all the rage on the catwalks walks with eye-popping florals mixing with stripes in every which way. It’s a winning fashion combination that is inspiring interiors too.

In the making with Margo Selby

From seaside to ticking, stripes never really go out of style. The new Margo Selby Stripes for Alternative Flooring take this classic design staple in fresh directions. We talk to one of our favourite collaborators, the award-winning woven textile designer Margo Selby about her latest collection for Alternative Flooring.

Once the Christmas clutter is cleared, the next step is to think about how you can streamline your space.
