At home with Ellie Walker + Buddy (the lab)
Armour Sisal
There’s something undeniably comforting about being at home, especially when home is filled with the giggles of children, the soft shuffle of paws, and the grounding presence of natural material. Elle Walker, beloved content creator and mother of three, knows this balance all too well.
Why Sisal?
Sisal, derived from the agave plant, is a durable, hypo-allogenic, eco-friendly fiber that fits seamlessly into Elle’s home design. It brings a warm, organic texture to each room, while standing up to the demands of daily life with children and a large dog. With its natural look and resilience, sisal enhances the home’s timeless, relaxed style without sacrificing function.
Elle’s Favourites: Driftwood & Armour Sisal
Two of Elle’s favourite styles are Driftwood Sisal and Amour Sisal. Driftwood Sisal (right image below) adds a neutral soft tone that complements open, airy spaces like the living room and play areas. Its neutral aesthetic blends beautifully with the home’s neutral palette and elegant design.
Amour Sisal (left image below), with its softer and lighter finish, works well in more intimate rooms like bedrooms or a reading nook. It brings a sense of comfort and quiet sophistication, while still offering the durability needed in a busy household.
Functional and Family-Friendly
Wall-to-wall sisal carpet helps create a clean and connected flow. Its textured surface helps to disguise everyday wear, and its natural fibers make it a healthy hypoallergenic choice for a home with kids and pets.
Sisal doesn’t trap dust or allergens, making it ideal for sensitive spaces like children’s bedrooms. It’s also static-resistant and easy to spot-clean, reducing the stress of spills and muddy paw prints. Altogether, it offers an understated beauty that holds up beautifully over time.
A Natural Touch
Elle’s home embraces a calm, grounded aesthetic rooted in natural materials. Sisal, along with elements like raw wood, soft linens and layered neutrals, contributes to a welcoming and earthy atmosphere. Its minimal environmental impact also aligns with a more thoughtful, sustainable approach to family living.
