When Tash and her partner bought their mid-century home 13 years ago, they were only the second owners, and they’ve lovingly brought it into a new era. From reimagining the conservatory as a third bedroom with an ensuite through to honouring the original architecture, every decision has balanced style and function.
So, when it came time to choose flooring, the carpet needed to do more than just look good - it had to tie in with their existing curated palette, complement the warmth of the timber window frames and work in harmony with the lush ferns and greenery outside. Empath, a newly released colour of Belgotex’s tried and true Westminster carpet in a calming shade of green turned out to be a match made in heaven. While coloured carpet might seem like a bold choice on paper, it’s clear that this soft, leaf-inspired hue pairs perfectly with the mid-century aesthetic throughout the rest of Tash’s home.
Belgotex’s Westminster carpet not only offered a wide colour palette to choose from, it also had the performance Tash’s family needed. With kids and pets in the mix, stainproof and fadeproof qualities weren’t just optional - they were essential. Made from premium solution dyed nylon with an impressive heavy duty commercial rating, this carpet is designed to endure busy households without sacrificing comfort or style. Thanks to the high-quality nylon fibre and construction, spills and stains can be easily cleaned using a mixture of bleach and water. And with an exceptional twist rate of 280 twists per meter giving it a plush, springy feel that resists matting, this dense and luxurious cut pile carpet has proven just as resilient as it is beautiful.
With a 20-year fadeproof and stainproof warranty, it's a floor that’s built for the long haul. Westminster carpet has been installed in homes and businesses across New Zealand for over a decade, with excellent proof of appearance retention over time. As Tash puts it: “The carpet is still in great condition and easy to clean despite the number of things we’ve thrown at it… including kids and dogs!”
