Mix gorgeous furniture with a super-soft and durable carpet, add some stylish lights, put quirky patterns on the wall and you have a lounge you’ll never want to leave. Find additional options in the gallery to customise your lounge to your own taste.
Belgotex flooring
The new Vogue range of carpet from Belgotex, seen here in Cool Lava, is made from a new fibre called SDX Soft. SDX (solution-dyed nylon) is stain-resistant and colourfast, allowing cleaning with bleach and water without damaging the colour, making it a perfect choice for the busy lounge space. However, it’s also incredibly soft and has a delicate sheen, ensuring a luxurious look for your lounge flooring without compromising functionality.
Showrooms: Melrose Estate, Johannesburg; Wynberg, Cape Town; Willowton, Pietermaritzburg; Westdene, Bloemfontein; Newton Park, Port Elizabeth.
