Carpet World’s rich history of flooring craftmanship has provided the local community with carpet and timber solutions for three generations. Originally a carpet manufacturer, this family-owned enterprise transitioned into a carpet retailer in 1973. Nearly 50 years on, these years of experience and industry passion combine with a local and international network of supply partners to provide a service and product range that is truly exceptional.
Explains owner Mark Hodgson (above left), “We strive for a world-class in-store experience. Our extensive, high-performance range offers world-class manufacturing, innovative and on-trend designs, expert product curation, and eco-conscious materials that ensure technology doesn’t compromise sustainability.”
At Carpet World’s elegantly designed showrooms you will find premium, unique, and exclusive flooring, making it easy for clients to make informed decisions—whether the project is large or small, residential or commercial, or budget-conscious. Offering a concept to completion service, you can enjoy expert advice, passionate service and experienced installation.
Carpet World’s collection includes locally sourced, imported, and custom-designed carpets, rugs, and timber flooring from industry-leading brands such as Godfrey Hirst, a trusted name with over 150 years of manufacturing excellence in Australia and New Zealand. Godfrey Hirst’s rich history, rooted in Geelong since 1865, speaks to its longstanding tradition of quality textile production.
“Our most valuable advantage is that I personally travel the world looking for inspiring, quality products, cutting-edge designs and innovative materials that are exclusive to the Australian market,” says Mark. “ We pride ourselves on offering flooring that sets us apart from mainstream retailers. Our passion for design is matched by our skilled installation team, whose expertise enables us to work with materials that push the boundaries of flooring technology. This commitment to craftsmanship means we can confidently introduce groundbreaking products that both inspire and excite.”
Custom-design carpets and rugs are integral to the design offering at Carpet World. “We thrive on challenge, and it’s this drive that is in sympatico with Kate Walker and KWD. Their ambition to push the limits of design, quality, and innovation mirrors our own. We love to explore what’s possible. We inspire each other to search for more. It’s exciting when Kate comes to me with an idea beyond the mainstream, and we help to develop it and bring it to market.”
“When Kate approached Carpet World about her My Happy Space Movement initiative, we were of course happy to support her in any way we could, and to help bring her vision to life for such worthy recipients. We were proud to support Kate by partnering with Godfrey Hirst to deliver exceptional flooring solutions for such a meaningful project.”
