Living room carpet — Touch
The living room is where a carpet earns its keep: sofa moves, kids on the floor, guests, hoover twice a week. In Touch 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.
Sitting near Touch Primary, Touch living room projects tend to be family-scale, medium-traffic, budget-aware.
A typical Touch 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 Touch
Living room spec in Touch 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 KY12. The 1950s–60s post-war housing here means damp checks on north-facing ground floors is usually the first thing we flag on the survey; asbestos-tile removal before LVT in older kitchens.
Our recommendation for most Touch 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.
What we check on the Touch survey
Grip-rod placement around bay windows
Neat scribing around chimney breasts and hearths
Threshold trims where carpet meets hard flooring
