https:\/\/wetherspoonscarpets.tumblr.com\/<\/a>, we can assume they are all different! <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Wetherspoon\u2019s Carpets Tumblr page encourages visitors to photograph the carpet in their local Wetherspoon\u2019s to find out once and for all, if there are any Wetherspoon\u2019s that have two carpets of the same kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Tumblr pages publisher Kit Caless, speaking to the Guardian, said: \u201cI read this book by a friend of mine, Will Wiles, The Way Inn; in that novel, the main character visits the same hotel chain everywhere he goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201dIn each hotel, there\u2019s a piece of art outside the lift, and he finally figures out that the art all matches up into one big, massive art piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was reading that book while I was in a Wetherspoon pub in Canterbury, and I finished it and I just looked down at the carpet and it was really complicated. I wondered whether the carpet matched another Wetherspoon one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen, I got really interested, because, for a corporate chain to not repeat itself is a really rare thing. So, I started looking into it \u2013 and it just sort of snowballed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quality Carpets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To get this level of uniqueness and quality is not a cheap option. With each carpet costing anywhere in the region of \u00a320,000 to \u00a330,000 the minimum overall cost of fitting Wetherspoon\u2019s over 900 pubs comes in at a staggering \u00a318 Million. This quickly rises to a conceivable \u00a327 million for the same 900 pubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, there is good reason for this high cost; quality carpet. Each carpet is partly hand made by the renowned UK firm Axminster. According to Wetherspoons head of acquisitions and operations Jon Randall, this is because Wetherspoons carpets have many more colours than the normal five and six commonly found in off the roll \u201ccolourful\u201d carpets. This means they have to be produced individually on old-fashioned looms!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although they may divide opinion, there is no denying that these carpets scream the Wetherspoon\u2019s brand.
