“We’ve been used to seeing printed wallpapers and fabrics taking the lead in interior design, so it’s great to see a growing consumer awareness of how their choice of floor can support their home-style,” reflects Martin Peace, marketing director, Abingdon Flooring.

“A confidence to play with colour has been gleaned from the ability for consumers to take inspiration from social media platforms, where one look at interior design accounts can provide a wealth of trend and practical advice.”

Stella Coyle, national retail sales manager at Karndean Designflooring, commented: “The latest home trends focus more than ever on health and wellbeing, featuring cosy interiors with an inside-outside vibe that connects us to the healing benefits of nature. Combining gentle organic colours and tactile textures with geometric patterns and colour blocking techniques, designers are creating spaces that comfort and reassure whilst also allowing us to express our individuality.”

Karndean Designflooring' tile ranges offer striking possibilities to design a truly unique floor to suit any interior. With nostalgic trends harking back to earlier decades including Victoriana, mid-century and 1970s, a geometric floor can recreate the style of the past but with all the practicality of the latest cutting edge materials.

The Heritage Collection presents four iconic geometric patterns inspired by Victorian splendour while the Kaleidoscope range includes seven timeless geometric designs that can be used to create visual contrast or an impactful 3D effect. Fully customisable, these ranges are available in a wide choice of colourways, including classic monochrome and traditional bold shades, or in an unexpected bespoke combination of colours for a contemporary style that will attract attention for all the right reasons.

Alternative Flooring has collections that are bursting with colour and personality. Honeycomb Moss is a colourful patterned wool carpet from the award-winning Quirky collection by Alternative Flooring.

This eye-catching design in an uplifting yellow-green shade has its roots in nature and green is both refreshing and tranquil. Honeycomb is also available in duck egg blue, elegant grey and smart black. These carpets, rugs and runners are designed and made in Britain with colours that sing and pattern that dances across our floors, bringing comfort and joy to interiors.

Adam Carpets has added ten new colours to their infamous Fine Worcester Twist range. The new colours are linked to two trend groups which they believe will be particularly relevant in 2022.

Kelly Butler, design manager at Adam Carpets explains, “Relationships and emotional well-being form the central theme in our new trends forecast.

Our connection to the natural world and harnessing the power of positivity is key. We have identified two key colour groups. The first trend palette is named Reflections and consists of warm neutrals, that help create spaces to relax and retreat, providing serenity within our homes.

Our second trend is Global Traveller, which incorporates warm
earthy tones and bold finishes. This palette was inspired by Aztec patterns and weaves in various scales, and the landscapes of long awaited travel and adventure.”

The Fine Worcester twist range has over 65 colours and is available in 4m and 5m widths, giving superb choice to consumers.

Made using premium UK wool, the Fine Worcester Twist range is manufactured in Adam Carpets own facility in Kidderminster. The 1/10th gauge construction provides a finer, pin-point surface whilst the 2 ply-yarn delivers better durability and appearance retention.
