Sisal, seagrass and jute have a warm, textured charm that suits a relaxed country home. But with kids, dogs and muddy paws in the mix, natural fibres can be hard to keep clean. For this Constantia family, our Natural Look Weave carpet in Straw gave them the look they loved, without the worry.

The brief: a family home for the next generation

Set among the wine farms and horse paddocks of rural Constantia, this beautiful family home recently had a large renovation so the next generation of the family could move in. With young children and dogs, the bedrooms, playroom and passages needed flooring that could handle everyday family life.

The family wanted:

• The natural, earthy look of sisal, seagrass or jute
• Carpet that is easy to clean and maintain
• A soft, comfortable surface for children to play on
• A look that suits the home's country setting

The solution: Natural Look Weave in Straw

Natural Look Weave gives you the woven texture and soft, neutral tones of natural fibre flooring, but it is made to be practical. It is easier to clean than true sisal or seagrass, so spills, muddy paws and everyday wear are far less stressful.

The Straw colour adds warmth and light to each room. It works well with timber, linen and the soft natural palette of a Cape country home.

Natural Look Weave can be:

• Fitted wall to wall for a seamless finish through bedrooms and passages
• Made into area rugs to define a space or layer over existing floors

The installation: before, during and after

One of Airloom's recommended installation teams fitted the carpet wall to wall through the bedrooms, playroom and passages. Watch the full transformation below, from bare floors to finished rooms.

The result

The finished rooms feel calm, warm and connected to the farm setting outside. Most importantly, the family now has carpet that looks beautiful and can keep up with kids and dogs.
