Radar is pretty good with the furniture, although for a while he was going at the carpet in the doorway of the sitting room. He seems to prefer scratching horizontal rather than vertical surfaces, although he does use the scratching post.
I had the bright idea of giving him an offcut of carpet, turned upside down on the floor so that the rough side is uppermost, and it's now his favourite scratching place - problem solved, he now leaves the proper carpet alone!
He has access to cardboard which he doesn't scratch although he does like biting it (he's young and into chewing things).
I wondered if anyone had any other ideas for cheap but safe materials or objects that he might enjoy scratching on, as ideally I would like to have a few scratching spots around the flat, but can't afford and don't have room for multiple cat trees!
