Living room carpet — Gateside
The living room is where a carpet earns its keep: sofa moves, kids on the floor, guests, hoover twice a week. In Gateside 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.
In Gateside's rural cottage stock, the usual living room watch-out is narrow cottage doorways.
A typical Gateside 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

Why this room, this way, in Gateside
Living room spec in Gateside 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 KY14. The rural cottage housing here means narrow cottage doorways is usually the first thing we flag on the survey; damp on north-facing rooms.
Our recommendation for most Gateside 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.
