Some updates. The pictures are a little behind where we are now but it's all I could smuggle in to work for the moment.
Went with a striped design up the stairs and across the landing. You wouldn't believe how hard it was to find a striped carpet.
The living room. It's a light grey, to complement the dark grey sofa. We're having high gloss white furniture and a splash of fuchsia.
Our daughter's bedroom. Pink with a silver sparkle.
Spare bedroom. Purple with a silver sparkle.
The office. Went for a short pile dark brown carpet for hard wearing.
It's actually got small lines of lighter brown running through but the camera couldn't pick it up. High traffic underlay on the stairs and in the office. Everywhere else has Cloud 9 cumulus, except the living room which has 8mm underfloor heating underlay.
The master bedroom actually has a darker carpet than the living room, but for some reason the flash makes it look much lighter. Here's the bed assembly. It's a kingsize storage bed from Tesco direct. Curtains and bedding from Dunelm.
The matress came rolled up in a giant sausage-shaped vacuum-sealed bag. Was awesome when we cut the bag and watched it expand to shape. Still slightly out of shape here. Matress is pocket sprung with a memory foam layer
