Tartan • (noun) “A woollen cloth woven in one of several patterns of coloured checks and intersecting lines, especially of a design associated with a particular Scottish clan.”

Over the years Tartan has covered royalty, stately homes, the thighs of Punks and now our floors. Although Tartan has been around for hundreds of years, there are always new editions popping up. And in flooring Tartan is one of the hot trends we expect to see expanding in 2014 here at Ledbury Carpets and Interiors.

Tartan is quintessentially British and goes hand in hand with our steeped sense of style and, although new patterns constantly emerge, it always give s a nod to our manufacturing heritage and use of homegrown materials. This explains it’s diversity and range of application in interiors. Whether as a main showpiece hallway floor or as stair runners complementing a block colour larger carpet or hard flooring, tartan is perfect to compliment traditional country home to modern builds in Ledbury.
