Spotlight: Border and Ground Designs

Often hallways and landings are overlooked as a design feature in our homes, and there is a habit to stick to what we know. We believe these transient areas can be thoughtful, beautifully considered spaces that transform and connect our homes.
The concept of ‘border’ and ‘ground’ is the combination of two coordinating designs that blend into one another, creating a continuous flow throughout the home. Border and ground designs were created with hallways and landings in mind, perfectly illustrating how we have reinvented flatweave as a versatile floor covering for contemporary living.


Border & Ground
Our ‘border’ designs feature a contrasting, often bold, border design along the outer edge of the runner and are most popular fitted onto stairs. ‘Ground’ designs refer to those where the tones and body of the weave is paired back with an edge-to-edge pattern and are one option we think are perfect fitted on landings and wall-to-wall areas. When placed together, the aesthetic of our border and ground flatweave designs create an element of light and shade and an overall cohesiveness throughout the home.
A recent installation combining Pelham Chalk with Vernon Chalk (below), perfectly showcases the thought and development behind our approach to flatweave. Two contrasting designs are linked together through the Pelham border, creating a seamless transition from staircase to landing with a considered and continuous flow.

Using Border for Effect
As an alternative to our border and ground designs, any of our flatweave can create a unified scheme. The beauty and flexibility of our flatweave means that all of our designs can be joined by hand into wall-to-wall floor coverings. How a pattern joins together is at the forefront of our mind during the design process – fitting flatweave with a strong border as a stair runner and wall-to-wall creates direction and vibrancy with a bold repeating pattern.
