In the world of flooring, the right carpet ties a room together, enriches texture and sets the mood. With the Vogue Collection from Hugh Mackay, available via Frankly Flooring, you get more than just luxury underfoot – you get expressive design, tonal versatility and proven durability.
What Is the Vogue Collection?
The Vogue Collection is a contemporary range of 12 distinctive designs, all crafted in Axminster construction to combine pattern and muted colour palettes for longevity of aesthetic appeal.
Key technical features include:
- Pile composition: 80% wool / 20% nylon
- Construction: Woven Axminster, 7×7
- Total weight: ~ 1900 g/m²
- Pile weight: ~ 1112 g/m²
- Suitability: Heavy Contract / Heavy Domestic usage
This is a carpet capable of handling regular footfall without losing its character – ideal for both home and more demanding environments.
The Design Palette
What really sets Vogue apart is its design. Each of the 12 named styles offers a distinct motif, yet they’re unified by a grounding in rich, earthy tones that fit across a broad spectrum of décor approaches.
Some standout names include:
- Helix – A swirling, organic pattern that hints at movement
- Logan – Stylised foliage or vine-like forms set against tonal shading
- Morph – A more abstract, fluid design
- Chess, Cobble, Cord, Dodgem, Nouvelle, Sketch, Sophora, Starburst, Tic-Tac
(Each offers its own personality – from geometric repetition to nature-inspired outlines)
Because all share the same colour language and tonal depth, they can be coordinated or contrasted thoughtfully in adjoining spaces without jarring transitions.
Why Choose Vogue?
1. Warmth, Insulation & Comfort
Thanks to its high wool content, the Vogue carpet brings natural insulation and comfort underfoot. Wool also has inherent resilience, so the carpet is able to recover from footprints and general wear better than many synthetics.
2. Durability for Real Life
The blend of wool and nylon, along with the robust Axminster construction, gives the carpet the strength to withstand regular use – hallways, living areas or even light commercial settings.
3. Timelessness in Pattern
By marrying striking motifs with more muted, earthy hues, Vogue aims to be bold yet enduring – designs you likely won’t tire of after a few years.
4. Consistency in Width & Specification
All Vogue carpets come in a 4 metre roll width (standard for carpet installations) and have consistent structural specs – simplifying planning and installation.
Ordering, Lead Time & Installation
- Minimum order: 20 m²
- Lead time: 6–8 weeks
- Roll width: 4 metres (standard)
- Underlay & installation: Use a quality underlay matched to the level of traffic. Installers should take care with pattern alignment.
Some tips to get the most from your Vogue carpet
- Order extra margin for cutting and matching, especially in rooms with odd shapes.
- Take time to assess lighting; the muted hues shift subtly under different light, so view samples in your space.
- For stairs or landings, maintain consistent directionality with the carpet pile to avoid visual mismatches.
- Rotate or shift furniture occasionally – wool recovers, but under long static pressure (e.g. heavy furniture) even resilient carpet can show flattening.
Styling Ideas
- Neutral backdrop, bold accent: Because Vogue leans into earthy neutrals, it offers a stable backdrop. Use accent fabrics, cushions, artwork or rugs to add pops of colour without overwhelming the carpet’s personality.
- Echoing lines: If you choose a more linear design like Sketch or Tic-Tac, repeat the directional flow in other décor elements (e.g. blinds, wallpapers, ceiling beams).
- Dark & light balance: Place darker or more intense patterns (like Helix) in busier rooms, and lighter/more open designs (like Nouvelle or Sketch) in smaller or lower-light areas to avoid overwhelming the space.
