Natural Luxury and Sustainable Design with Bremworth
In this episode, Janey and Verity sit down with Julija from Bremworth — New Zealand’s leading designer of premium wool carpets and rugs. With over 60 years of innovation behind them, Bremworth has become a trusted name in natural flooring, combining performance, sustainability, and timeless style.
Julija takes us inside the world of wool — why this renewable fibre is unmatched for warmth, acoustics, and comfort, and how Bremworth is shaping the future of flooring with sustainability at the heart of everything they do. She also shares practical advice for renovators and homeowners, from choosing the right texture and colour to caring for your carpets so they last a lifetime.
We explore Bremworth’s stunning collections, from soft, calming neutrals to bold new tones that are inspiring designers across Aotearoa, and discuss how flooring choices can completely transform the feel of your home.
In this episode you’ll hear about:

“Sustainability isn’t a trend for us, it’s the way forward.”
