Living room carpet — Lochore
The living room is where a carpet earns its keep: sofa moves, kids on the floor, guests, hoover twice a week. In Lochore 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 Lochore's ex-mining terraced stock, the usual living room watch-out is damp at the back of north-facing rows.
A typical Lochore 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 Lochore
Living room spec in Lochore 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 KY5. The ex-mining terraced housing here means damp at the back of north-facing rows is usually the first thing we flag on the survey; stair fit on tight Scottish stairs.
Our recommendation for most Lochore 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.
