Property: Private home in Cologne
Product: tretford INTERLAND broadloom, area rugs, runners and stair mats
A young family has created the home of their dreams at the south-western periphery of Cologne: They turned a shabby terraced house from 1927 into a home full of warmth and timeless class.
Natural materials and personality played an especially big role.
The young family opted for a timeless and classy interieur that can even withstand the wear and tear of lively children on a day-to-day basis. Floor-to-ceiling windows everywhere flood the rooms with daylight and underscore this home’s light and friendly atmosphere.
The entire family can gather on the large, inviting sofa. It stands behind a red-edged tretford rug whose pile material – consisting of 80% Cashmere goat hair – lends a soft finish to the room.
Carpet runners – also made of Cashmere goat hair and virgin wool – lie in the hallways where they not only protect heavy traffic areas but also create a fresh, colorful look.
Decorating stairs with stair mats in a variety of contrasting colors gives them a lovely vibrancy. And they are practical too. These comfortable stair mats reduce impact noise and also provide slip resistance.
For the two upper floors of their home, this couple chose wall-to-wall carpeting by tretford.
What’s special about tretford’s INTERLAND line is that it is manufactured with 80 % Cashmere goat hair and 20 % virgin wool; it is particularly easy-care, robust and offers footstep sound insulation for a quieter environment. But INTERLAND also creates a healthy indoor climate by reducing fine particulate matter indoors.
'Having soft, sound-insulating carpeting underfoot is particularly pleasant in bedrooms and children’s rooms. Carpeted floor is perfect for those who suffer from dust mite allergies and tretford’s broad range of colors lends itself to a variety of stylish interiors,' according to this family man.
A round area rug with tone-on-tone edging adds a colorful accent to the young daughter’s room and encourages imaginative play.
And a runner in the bathroom covers the Brazilian slate flooring.
Despite a ground-up refurbishment, the new inhabitants have tried to preserve as many of the house’s charming original details as possible. This includes the doors and the terrazzo flooring, for example.

The additional area rugs and runners create colorful accents and underscore the family’s interior design style.
