Flooring's feel-good factor
Interior trends are changing with people seeking more comfort and feel-good factor from their home spaces, while looking for lasting style and flexibility in room use. In short, consumers expect more
from their floor.
Cormar Carpets
have seen interior design trends start to move away from a sleek, minimalist look to create interiors that are more homely, using a range of natural elements. Versatile and suitable for all around the home, their recently launched Pembroke range is a classic, heavyweight wool twist carpet made using Pure New Wool and available in 18 stylish shades including classic neutrals alongside
some bolder tones, providing a stylish and practical base for interior design schemes.
Wool textures and subtle stripes are also becoming increasingly popular as a way of adding an additional element of depth to homes. Hallways and staircases can benefit from this trend, using a timeless pin striped design on floors is perfect for adding personality to these well-used areas. Taped stair runners are another great way of incorporating added interest; not only are they a statement feature for hallways, but they also provide sound proofing throughout the home. Cormar’s Pimlico range is a 3-ply loop pile carpet made from pure New Zealand Wool, available in eighteen plain and four neutral stripe combinations meaning there is something to suit all interior styles.

Their range of brown tones underscores the importance of warmth going into this A/W season in interiors and fashion. Adam Carpets browns are inspired by nature and go hand in hand with the vegetal tones emerging.

We have included earthy tones that are cozy, calming and versatile. They are colours which are a complementary canvas for fabrics, wall coverings and furnishings from all genres.

Use Morton Malt or Charford Clay as a colour to establish an inviting feel in living areas, hallways, stairs, and bedrooms. Pair these up with breezy neutrals to brighten them up. Use them as a base for other pops of primary colour in a space. Or opt for vibrant jewel tones to lean into a luxurious look. FW135 Morton Malt helps exhibit a traditional look for modern home interiors, bringing class and finery into any decor.”

Terrazzo collection.”
Whether opting for a bold design with large marble pieces, a subtle look with smaller pearlescent chips, or a light concrete effect scattered with earthy coloured chips, as seen with Amtico Spacia Amalfi (pictured), this really useable Terrazzo collection in hardwearing LVT is spot on for expressing personality and individuality in a home.
Amtico are celebrating another popular trend that aligns with their passion for heritage design and craftsmanship. Taking inspiration from the historic details and patterns in National Trust properties, the new Amtico Décor x National Trust collection is a collaboration that introduces three unique flooring designs with a sense of heritage and grandeur.
These additions to Décor are evocative of Victorian flooring and feature considered colour and sharp geometric design. The Wood LVT patterns are reminiscent of historic marquetry, with realistic grooves that enhance the natural contours, bringing to life another current trend for natural surfaces within a space.
Inspired by the past and designed for the future, this year,
Kährs is celebrating a milestone in flooring history: It has been 80 years since Kährs was awarded the patent for the engineered lamella parquet flooring, an innovation that revolutionized the wood flooring industry.
“Kährs are proud to present Beyond Retro, a brand-new

To celebrate this milestone, Kährs are proud to present Beyond Retro, a brand-new collection of oak floors featuring a unique combination of traditional and modern colours, textures, and designs.
With a sense of authenticity, warmth and modernity, this new wood flooring collection pays homage to timeless Scandinavian design. With the help of their extensive archives in Sweden, documenting over 160 years of history in wood flooring, Kährs travelled back in time to find six timeless designs to bring back to the 21st century.
Unique stains and warm, silky colours, inspired by flooring trends seen between the 1940s and 70s, give the floors in the collection their nostalgic appearance. The invisible Ultra-Matt Lacquer finish protects the floors from wear and tear while enhancing the natural beauty of the wood. A Woodloc 5S joint guarantees a quick and easy installation.
All floors in the Beyond Retro collection are certified by the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, one of the most comprehensive and rigorous product certifications in the world.
