Country Homes & Interiors has collaborated with British flooring brand Fibre to create this beautiful collection of 100 per cent wool carpets and rugs. Wonderfully warm and cocooning, yet outstandingly hardwearing, The Contemporary Collection is inspired by the colors of the countryside, from soft creams and greys to rich ochre and clear blue.

‘It’s been a true collaboration throughout, from choosing the yarns and weaves to picking out the colors of the carpets and the complementary borders for the rugs,’ says Andréa Childs, Editor of Country Homes & Interiors. ‘I love the deep ochre of Gorse and the soulful blue of Wishing Well, and I’m sure the neutral tones of Thatch and Sapling will be firm favourites with our readers and Fibre customers.’

The collection features two weaves, nubbly soft Twill and stylish Chevron, both suitable for all areas of the home, even high-traffic zones such as hallways and stairs. 

The seven shades have been designed to work harmoniously together, so you can create a scheme that mixes and matches designs and colors throughout your home.

Choose from seven colors

There are seven colors in The Contemporary Collection from Country Homes & Interiors and Fibre, all available in either a Twill or a Chevron weave.

‘Our colors mirror the rise in warm, earthy tones and our desire to reproduce shades from nature in our own homes,’ says Julian Downes, Managing Director, Fibre. 'From calming blue to joyful yellows which let the sunshine in, our colors are designed for layering.’

Wishing Well: The softest tone of freshwater blue with just a hint of delicate grey

Gorse: The deep ochre hues of flowering gorse 

Thatch: A beautiful beige with soft straw undertones 

Travertine: Warm and timeless, a classic cream with a soft honey tone

Sapling: A fresh shade of fawn partnered with a subtle touch of green

Whisper: Soft on the breeze, a warm and inviting grey with a hint of pink 

Shingle: A calming yet richly colored taupe
