A bold interiors movement finds its footing — and its grounding — in considered and playful material choices.
Vivid expression is a charismatic design mood defined by sculptural form and sophisticated individuality. It’s joyful, vibrant, a tad nostalgic, and utterly personal. Its palette is unapologetic: sunflower yellow, sun-warmed ochres, botanical greens, chartreuse and burnt orange, tempered by surfaces of texture and depth.
Here, Feltex explores this aesthetic through a tightly curated material lens. The flooring is not a backdrop in this story — it’s a protagonist in its own right. In one living space, autumn is distilled into tones of mustard, terracotta, and faded pink. A velvet cushion, sunburnt and tactile, rests on a vintage sofa; ceramics in earthen hues collect light on a camel-toned table.
Sculptural elements — a bulbous floor lamp, a quilted chair — shift the room’s mood from nostalgic to spirited. Underfoot, loop pile wool carpet in a soft neutral tone — Chelsea Row in 540 Charring Cross — draws everything together.
The effect is evocative and immersive — a 1970s inflection rendered through a contemporary lens.
Elsewhere, a sitting room turns inward. Here, walls curve gently around the furniture in a soft brown-camel tone, framing yellow velvet chairs and a palette of blush pink, orange, and sky blue.
The carpet, a dense cut pile in a pale taupe-grey — Grandiose in 580 Woodland — acts as a soft counterpoint; a sensory anchor that quiets the saturation. In the study, the palette is cooler but no less expressive. Blue-grey walls set the tone for playful contrast: vintage orange cabinetry, chartreuse upholstery, and a mandarin dome lamp.
The floor, again, plays a balancing role — loop pile wool carpet in a natural tone — Stonefields in 16 Feldspar — adds warmth and depth, subtly echoing the vintage sensibility of the space.
Feltex’s contribution here is about depth of dialogue. Their flooring collections — from loop pile in oat and camel, to cut pile in muted taupes and soft stone — are designed to engage with the architecture and objects around them. They’re an essential design layer, calibrating the wider sensory experience of space.
These are rooms where material, form, and emotion meet — where colour is a defining mood. And with Feltex underfoot, the expression is not only vivid — it’s grounded, lasting, and entirely joyful.
