The home, built in the style of a French manor house with Tudor elements, had in its midst the antique flooring with blue and rose colour elements, the News Times reports.

Designers of the decor decided that rather than try to make it fit in with everything else, all the other parts of the interior must be in line with the carpet.

They did this by using similar colours for items such as cushions and lamps, while painting walls and fittings creamy white, to raw out the contrast between the different shades.

Such an approach may emphasise the value to a home of having a high quality carpet as a centrepiece and of ensuring it complements the rest of the colour scheme.

Bright floor coverings are a good way to add more colour to the home, an interior design expert said recently.

Adrienne Chinn of Adrienne Chinn Designs commented: "A new rug to put on the floor, a throw, little vases that you can pick up anywhere - just bring in that fresh bit of colour."

Shadow schools secretary Michael Gove has been blamed for the influx of the creatures after buying a Moroccan carpet for his office at the Palace of Westminster.

The allegation was made by Nottingham North MP Graham Allen, who has his own office nearby and denied that the moths arrived when he opened his wallet.

He said: "The fact is Michael Gove MP brought in a second-hand Moroccan carpet and ever since we have been plagued by them."

Mr Gove has subsequently moved office but the moths are still present, Mr Allen said.

The Conservative frontbencher has not commented on the claims.

Carpeting is a notable feature of the Palace of Westminster, with the colour scheme being green for the Commons and Red for the Lords.

In a list of measures householders can take to make their homes more eco-friendly, the Ecologist magazine has said some artificial substances can be harmful to health, as can carpets that have had certain chemical treatments or contain particular types of glue.

It said wool carpet was one of the best options for a better home environment.

The magazine also issued guidance on harder floor surfaces, suggesting that cork flooring and Forest Stewardship Council-certified hardwood flooring are among the best choices.

This advice came alongside suggestions such as having a green roof, energy-saving lightbulbs, renewable energy devices and paint that does not contain harmful volatile organic compounds.

Last month, the Daily Mirror said that a wool carpet was a great way to add a "Hollywood" touch to a room.

It suggested berry or pink would be a "brave" colour that is likely to say in fashion for a long time.
