A carefully chosen carpet can define your living space, complement your furniture and bring together the different elements of your festive decor. Here’s how you can prepare your home for the festive season 2026 with the right carpet.

1. Start with a Deep Clean
   Before adding festive decor, start with a clean and clutter-free space. Vacuum your existing carpet thoroughly and remove dust from the corners and underneath furniture. If you are introducing a new handmade carpet, make sure the floor is clean and dry before placing it.

4. Layer Your Decor Around the Carpet
   Once your carpet is in place, build your festive decor around it. Add cushions, throws, candles, flowers and decorative lamps that complement the carpet’s colours.For example, if your carpet features deep blue and gold tones, introduce cushions or decor pieces in similar shades rather than adding too many contrasting colours.
