Karndean is the gold standard for luxury vinyl flooring — designed in the UK, refined for decades and built to last. As an authorised Karndean retailer with four decades of independent flooring experience, we hold the full range across our Duffield showroom (trading as Meadow Vale Carpets) and our Netherfield and Wollaton stores, so Derby customers can see and feel the products in person before committing.
The Knight Tile range offers exceptional value with realistic wood and stone designs, perfect for busy family homes. Da Vinci steps things up with deeper textures and richer detail. Art Select delivers showroom-grade authenticity — herringbone, parquet and plank layouts that look indistinguishable from real wood. Korlok is our rigid-core, click-fit waterproof option, ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and basement conversions. And Van Gogh finishes the line-up with bold, design-led planks for statement spaces.
Whatever your room, budget or style, we have a Karndean range to match — with honest advice from a team that’s been fitting Karndean in Derbyshire homes since the brand was first launched.
Derby has plenty of flooring retailers, but very few specialise in Karndean to the depth we do. Established in 1981, Carpet Style is a family-run independent with three 5-star rated showrooms across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire and over 700 combined Google reviews. Our Duffield showroom — trading locally as Meadow Vale Carpets — sits just minutes from Derby city centre, making it the obvious choice for Mickleover, Allestree, Littleover, Spondon, Oakwood and Chaddesden homeowners.
What sets us apart is who fits your floor. Every Karndean installation we book is carried out by our own directly employed fitting team — Daz, Jordan, Zack and Joel — not subcontractors picked from a list. Karndean is an unforgiving product when fitted badly: every seam, every cut, every layout choice shows. Our fitters have spent years perfecting the craft, including the more demanding patterns like herringbone, double herringbone and parquet borders.
You’ll get a free home measure, honest range advice, transparent pricing, and a finish that’ll still look pristine ten years from now. That’s the difference between buying Karndean from a specialist and buying it from someone who happens to stock it.

Karndean rewards careful fitting. Even small mistakes — a misaligned seam, a poorly prepped subfloor, a rushed border — can undermine the most beautiful design. That’s why every Karndean job we quote includes proper subfloor assessment and preparation as standard. 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 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. We’ve fitted hundreds of these jobs across Derbyshire and we’ll happily show you examples before you commit.
From first visit to final beading, you’ll deal with the same team throughout. No middlemen, no chasing, no surprises.
