I was wondering if anyone can tell me which carpet supplyer can sell me some everyday carpet with a pattern in it ?
My elderly Mum needs some new carpet for her house, the old axminster in some of the rooms was threadbare and the one in her bedroom apeard to be made of "felt" of some sort and definatly past its use by date. We pulled it up and then went to get replacements but all the rolls we saw were as plain as anything with no pattern to speak of on ANY of them. Mums house is 120 years old and a plain modern carpet would look "WAY" out of place in it but every time we talked to the salesman they just pointed to the axminster samples and said if you want a pattern thats all there is. I re-carpeted my house here about 10 years ago and didn't have any trouble getting exactly what we want now but aparently fashion has changed and they WON'T supply anything like we want. Mum is a pensioner and doesn't have the cash to afford top price axminster so shurly someone must still make a carpet to put in older houses that don't suit the modern stuff.
If anyone knows of a supplyer (preferably in Perth) could you let me know because we realy don't want to put a plain carpet there, it would just look WRONG.
