Floorell’s what’s hot this year…
This section is all about the latest flooring trends and what we at Floorell believe is going to big this year. We’re not interior design gurus, but what we do know about, is great flooring. So here are our thoughts…
The current trend is still for a modern, contemporary look, but gone are the hard stainless steel accessories. People want softness and warmth to a room rather than harsh lines. The good thing about having natural stone flooring is that, whatever look is hot that season; it gives you a good base to work from. It allows you to recreate your ideal room over and over again. Stone floors are easy to maintain and have a longevity not offered by other flooring options. Once the floor is down it can remain there indefinitely. A stone floor, unlike a carpet, won’t date and, quite literally, gives a firm foundation on which to build any interior design scheme.
Set yourself free
Choosing a neutral base stone like Ivory Light Travertine (honed and filled) or Crema Marfil Classico Marble, is a great way to give yourself freedom of design. Make it into a Mediterranean style haven with deep red walls, amber colored vases and stonewash throws. Or go for a more contemporary look with cream leather couches, chocolate walls and black accessories. The possibilities are endless. In the home, invest your money in classic, timeless flooring and a few pieces of good quality furniture and you will have laid down the foundations for creating a look for any room in the house.
Express yourself
Last year we saw a big drive towards the natural look; this look is still with us this year, with a slight edge. People are always looking for something new and different to add to their style. That’s why at Floorell we are always bringing in new types of stone, wood and porcelain that you won’t see anywhere else. Be daring and opt for a stunning Jura Blue Grey Honed Limestone or create a feature wall made of Woodland Green Riven Slate. The choice is yours.
Wood you?
But it’s not just stone tiles that can give you freedom; wood is fastly becoming popular again. Our Oak Plank Beveled comes in a full range of grades and finishes. So you can tailor the design to your style, Nature, country, spring, summer, canyon all grades that can match your personality and add depth to a room. If you want a neutral wooden base to work from try Solid Oak (white oiled) or Solid Oak Aged Wood Flooring.
Don’t compromise
