Alternative to traditional carpet?

If your floorboards are good, I would have them sanded and sealed, and buy a large rug rather than a carpet.

You could buy a large Kilim rug (Dunhelm and Ikea have a variety) and most would look great with terracotta... put it over the carpet and you'll be very snuggy..

My dining room is the room I sit in during the day as it's south facing. It has a patio door which leads into the garden.
The carpet in there is a traditional carpet in Terracotta.
However, it has become discoloured and tatty with age.
I want to replace it but not with , for example laminate flooring. I think it would make the room quite cold looking (and feeling) in Winter.
Does anyone know of a hardwearing carpet they could recommend?
Thank you for any suggestions.
