Castors and chair mats
A wheeled office chair wears a patch of carpet quickly. A firm, dense pile, a suitable chair mat or a hard floor with a mat all solve the problem.
Home office
A calm floor for a working day.
Whether it is a box room or a converted garage, a home office needs a floor that copes with a desk chair on castors and still feels like part of the home. There is a sensible answer for carpet lovers and hard-floor fans alike.

What matters here
What to tell us
The more we know about the room, the better the advice. These are the questions we usually ask first.
- Do you use a wheeled desk chair?
- Is the room a spare bedroom that may change use later?
- Any cabling or floor sockets to plan around?
- Does the room double as a guest room?
Common questions
Which carpet is best under an office chair?
A low, dense twist pile with a firm underlay copes best with castors. A clear chair mat protects the area under the desk and lets the chair roll easily.
