24 Wetherspoons carpets ranked in Manchester based on Instagram likes

The famously loud and often bizarre designs aren’t random. With over 900 Wetherspoons pubs across the UK, each one features a completely unique, custom-designed carpet.

As Jon Randall, Wetherspoons' head of property development said:“We place particular emphasis on the design of our new pubs, investing heavily in every aspect, as well as in the refurbishment of our older premises.”

Adding: “With more than 900 pubs, that is a lot of carpet. All of our new pub carpets are individually designed, some with details to reflect aspects of the building's history or local area."

This attention to detail inspired Kit Caless to launch a blog and Instagram account almost ten years ago. The blog,called "Wetherspoons Carpets", each distinctive design in what’s become a grassroots archive of Britain’s most talked-about pub floors.

Manchester-based carpet store Urmston Carpets, conveniently located next to The Tim Bobbins, has compiled a ranking of the most loved Wetherspoons carpets in Greater Manchester based entirely on Instagram likes.

Adrian Brown of Urmston Carpets said: “While Wetherspoons carpets have become something of a design icon, it’s important to remember that pub carpets are made very differently than what you’d typically find in a home.”

He said: “Commercial carpets are designed to handle thousands of footsteps a day, resist spills, and stand up to regular deep cleaning. They’re built for durability first.”

Adding: “If you’re trying to recreate the look at home, choosing a patterned carpet, you’ll need to find a balance between visual impact and practicality.”
