Living room carpet — Dunnikier
The living room is where a carpet earns its keep: sofa moves, kids on the floor, guests, hoover twice a week. In Dunnikier we mostly recommend 80/20 wool twist for a spec that still looks the same after five winters — but we'll bring saxony and polyamide samples too so you can see everything in your own light.
Most living room jobs in KY1 we quote sit in the family-home owners bracket — spec picked to suit that use.
A typical Dunnikier living room (roughly 16–22m²) is £320–£620 fitted including 10mm PU underlay.
Best-suited: 80/20 wool twist · saxony deep pile · polyamide twist
- 80/20 wool twist for warmth that keeps its look
- Saxony deep pile for a plush finish
- Heavy-domestic polyamide for budget-conscious fits
Why this room, this way, in Dunnikier
Living room spec in Dunnikier isn't the same brief as in a rental turnover flat or a busy retail unit — this page is about the residential living room we fit week-in, week-out in KY1. The 1950s–60s post-war housing here means chipboard floors needing screw-down is usually the first thing we flag on the survey; underlay refresh in long-lived carpets.
Our recommendation for most Dunnikier living room projects: 80/20 wool twist. It's the spec that hits the price/lifespan sweet-spot for this room and this housing type — but we bring samples of all three options on the survey so you can compare in your own light.
