Home office carpets
Your home office needs a carpet that’s comfortable underfoot, looks professional on video calls and stands up to daily use. The best choices are short, dense twist or low‑level loop piles that cope well with castor chairs and keep a tidy, even finish. Prefer extra softness? A mid‑height Saxony can work in light‑use studies, as long as you’re not rolling a chair over it all day.
Best carpet types for a home office
* Short, dense twist: Resilient surface that resists flattening and hides everyday marks. Ideal for dedicated workspaces.
* Low‑level loop: Textured look with excellent wear; choose a tight, low loop for the most durability. (If pets have sharp claws, consider twist.)
* Saxony (occasional‑use offices): Plush feel and a softer look; expect footprint and chair marks in heavier use.
* Wool or wool‑look options: Natural style and warmth, with easy‑care alternatives available in our Beyond Wool® ranges.
Chairs, castors and mats
For rolling chairs, use carpet‑friendly castors (soft twin‑wheel types) or add a clear chair mat to protect the pile in your desk’s pivot zone. This keeps the surface looking smart and makes movement feel smoother.
Acoustics and comfort
Carpet reduces echo and improves call quality compared with hard flooring. Pair your carpet with a firm, dense underlay for support and long‑term appearance. Many ranges also use our Combi‑bac® backing, designed to aid fitting and long‑term stability.
Colour and design tips
* Mid‑tone heathers hide everyday lint and wear, ideal behind a desk.
* Cool greys read clean and professional on camera; warm neutrals add cosiness.
* Keep patterns subtle to avoid visual moiré effects on video.
Care and practicality
* Choose easy‑clean fibres where available; blot spills promptly.
* Vacuum high‑use areas (like under the chair) regularly.
* If you have underfloor heating, ask your retailer to confirm the combined tog of carpet and underlay is suitable.
