Looking for Karndean flooring in Derby? Carpet Style is an authorised Karndean retailer with three Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire showrooms — Duffield (trading as Meadow Vale Carpets), Netherfield, and Wollaton — all displaying the Karndean range. Our Duffield showroom sits just minutes from Derby city centre, making it the natural choice for Mickleover, Littleover, Allestree, Spondon, Oakwood, Chaddesden, and surrounding areas.
We’re listed on Karndean’s own retailer finder, which means you can be confident that every floor we supply is genuine, covered by Karndean’s manufacturer warranty, and fitted to the standard the warranty requires. We’ve been supplying and fitting flooring across the East Midlands for over 40 years.
Karndean is one of the most popular luxury vinyl tile (LVT) brands in the UK, and for good reason. It replicates the look of natural wood and stone with the kind of detail that’s genuinely hard to tell apart from the real thing — but with the practical advantages of vinyl: waterproof, scratch-resistant, warm underfoot, and quiet to walk on.
A few of the reasons it works so well in family homes and busy households:
Karndean produces several different ranges, each with its own character, price point, and ideal use case. Here’s a guide to the most popular residential ranges we supply and fit across our three showrooms.
Knight Tile is Karndean’s entry-level wood-and-stone effect range, designed for customers who want the Karndean look at the most accessible price. Despite being the most affordable option, it still includes Karndean’s K-Guard+® surface protection and the same fitting standards as the premium ranges. Recently fitted in a customer’s kitchen in Ivory Riven Slate (ST18) — a soft, light stone-effect tile that brightens the space.
The full Knight Tile range is available to view at our Duffield, Netherfield, and Wollaton showrooms, displayed across the dedicated Karndean stand:
Van Gogh is Karndean’s mid-range wood plank collection, offering longer and wider planks than Knight Tile and a more authentic timber appearance. The detailing on the wood grain is genuinely impressive — at floor level it’s very difficult to tell from real wood. Suitable throughout the home, including kitchens and bathrooms.
Art Select sits in the premium range and is where Karndean really shows what LVT can do. Hand-crafted planks and tiles with deeper embossing, richer textures, and the option of intricate parquet, herringbone, and chevron patterns. The right choice for customers who want a statement floor.
Herringbone parquet in particular is a popular Art Select install — labour-intensive to fit properly but transformative when done right. Our head LVT installer Ivan has fitted Karndean Art Select herringbone in hundreds of homes across Derby and Nottingham:
Heritage Collection is Karndean’s range of Victorian-style geometric patterns — designed for period properties, restorations, and customers who want a floor with real character. Heritage works beautifully in Derby’s many Victorian terraces and townhouses, recreating the look of original tiled hallways and kitchens without the maintenance challenges of original encaustic tiles. Particularly popular for hallway restorations in Littleover, Allestree, and Mickleover.
LooseLay is Karndean’s loose-lay range — designed to be laid without adhesive, which makes it ideal for situations where you might need to access the subfloor, or where the existing floor isn’t perfectly suitable for full adhesive installation. Loose-lay also makes it easier to replace individual planks if damaged.
Korlok is Karndean’s rigid-core LVT range — a thicker, more rigid plank that floats over the subfloor with a click-together system. The rigid core is more forgiving over slightly uneven subfloors and is a good choice for renovations where the existing floor isn’t perfectly flat.
Da Vinci is Karndean’s design-tile range, focused on stone and ceramic effects rather than wood. Marble, slate, and limestone reproductions with the warmth and comfort of vinyl underfoot.
We have samples of all of these ranges available across our Duffield, Netherfield, and Wollaton showrooms. The best way to choose is to come in, see the samples in person, and feel the difference between the ranges — the photos online never quite do them justice.
Karndean is a precision product. The visual impact, longevity, and warranty validity all depend on the floor being fitted to the manufacturer’s specification. Here’s how we approach it.
Free home measurement. Once you’ve chosen a range — or narrowed it down — we’ll book a free measurement appointment at your Derby home. Our team will measure the room, assess the existing subfloor, identify anything that needs preparing first, and discuss any patterns or layouts you have in mind.
Honest quotation. You’ll receive a detailed quote that includes the Karndean product, all underlayment and adhesive, subfloor preparation if needed, fitting, and removal of your old flooring if required. No surprise add-ons. We’re confident on price — bring us a like-for-like quote and we’ll work hard to match or improve it.
Subfloor preparation. This is the bit that separates a long-lasting Karndean installation from one that fails. Karndean needs a smooth, dry, level subfloor — and getting that right is often where the real skill lies. If your floor needs latex screed or plyboarding to achieve the smooth finish Karndean demands, we’ll tell you upfront and price it in. Our fitters are employed (not subcontracted), so the team doing your subfloor prep is the same team standing by their work for years afterwards.
Professional installation. Our fitters handle the full range of Karndean layouts: straight-lay, brick-bond, herringbone, double herringbone, parquet, and feature borders. Many Derby customers come to us specifically for the more design-led patterns — the kind of finishes you see in interiors magazines but rarely see executed properly in real homes.
After-sales support. All our work comes with after-sales support. If anything’s not right, we sort it.
There are several retailers in Derby who sell Karndean. A few things genuinely set us apart:

Thank you to Brad and the rest of the team at carpet style for such great service. They made me feel so comfortable as soon as I walked through the door and really took the time to give me honest advice. I had my carpet fitted yesterday and I’m so impressed with the quality and the fitting.
The fitters who came to fit the carpets were excellent. The service included the removal and disposal of old carpets and flooring. New carpets were fitted without hassle and the guys are just great! Super friendly and didn’t mind the dog trying to get in on the action.
Our house is under renovation and trouble during repairs. Ended up having to postpone the fitting several times. All the staffs have been very helpful and you can’t fault anything from the communication, customer service, the quality of the carpet nor the fitters.
These guys were helpful from start to finish. Very helpful in the shop and not pushy at all. Our fitter was on time, very friendly and got done quickly. Will be sure to use them again.
From start to finish, the team were fantastic. They kept me up to date every day during the fitting as I wasn’t at the property, and any issues that arose were instantly resolved without any fuss at all and with polite professionalism. Excellent value for money and really happy with the result. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
Our experience with Carpet Style was the best possible. Great product quality and amazing customer service. They were always very kind and helpful. We highly recommend Carpet Style.
Amazing service. All the chaps are more than keen to help and will go beyond to make sure you’re getting bang for your buck and exactly what you need. The fitters are such nice blokes too. Overall a fantastic experience and we have already got another carpet bought and booked to be fitted as we were so pleased the first time around!
We have been customers of Carpet Style for many years and have always found them to be very professional. Today was no exception! Their Fitter, Brian, was excellent and deserves nothing but praise for the way in which he carried out the fitting in a friendly and efficient manner. We’ll keep going back to Carpet Style as they offer excellent value for money as well as excellent before and after-sales service.
