Homemakers: How to Take Your Floors From Flawed to Floored
Transform your floors and bring a little magic home with our top tips for immaculate flooring and the latest 2019 trends.
New technology and trends means gorgeous flooring options that are both durable and stylish for any interior design. Here we bring you some inspiration and four key ideas to help you liven up your floors this year.
1. Natural is always a winner.
Whether natural wood, stone or cement, the trend brings a depth and appreciation of nature into your home. This trend retains the top spot in popular flooring styles. New technology has also made it possible to get laminate, tiles and vinyl that mimic these natural products beautifully and affordably.
2. Waterproof your floors!
Technological advancements have given us many amazing opportunities to provide durable waterproof flooring options that are still bang on trend. Waterproof carpets, vinyl and laminate flooring are now available, broadening the flooring options for water-prone areas such as bathrooms and kitchens.
3. Eco-friendly floors.
Embrace the eco way of life and make sustainable choices for your home, including your floors. Reclaimed wood, recycled products such as plastic, carpet or tile are great environmentally responsible options. Eco-friendly flooring options such as marmoleum, cork or bamboo can give you the look you want while being kind to nature.
4. Perfect Randomisation.
Variety is the spice of life – choose personalised colours, mixed widths and textures. Herringbone, chevron and mixed width patterns are a more subtle way to bring in some interest to your flooring. Hand scraped, wire brushed and distressed wood or wood-look floors are set to be the new staple flooring choice. No matter what you choose, adding a bit of randomisation in texture, colour or pattern are sure to make your floors stand out.
