The inspiration of nature

"The most recent addition to their collection, wool Rococo
combines bold, contemporary style with the illustrious exuberance
of the Rococo era."

Rococo style, the thick loop pile exudes opulence and offers warmth and comfort. A chalky palette of pearl greys, salon golds, and sculpted whites were chosen to highlight the wool composition and bring decadence to the modern interior.

Whether in a grand interior juxtaposed against historic parquet flooring or layered on cool tiles or concrete in a modern home, the floorcovering’s grounding hues and rich loop pile creates a sense of theatre and grandeur. Rococo is suitable for rugs and broadloom.

Karndean Designflooring is expanding its popular Van Gogh range with a stunning dual format collection of contemporary designs. Inspired by the beauty of the natural world and materials sourced from different countries, Karndean’s refreshed Van Gogh collection offers highly realistic wood and stone designs. 

Stella Coyle, national retail sales manager at
Karndean Designflooring said: “This is Karndean’s widest collection to date with a total of 70 unique wood and stone designs. We are launching stone designs to the range for the first time as well as wood designs in on-trend herringbone and chevron option. The collection oozes character and elegance with options to suit individual tastes, from traditional English country style to modern minimalist. Home decorators will appreciate the extensive variety of colourways and tile sizes as well as a convenient choice of formats to suit different installation needs.”

The nine new wood designs, range from characterful Highland Oaks and rustic Farmhouse Oaks to warm American Cedars, as well as fifteen new stone designs featuring the striking veining and natural variation of marble, slate and terracotta.

She adds, “Our Farmhouse Oaks were inspired by original source material from Holland: decades old painted floorboards that over time had seen the paint wear away, leaving a worn patina with remnants of colour across the boards. With a growing trend in the market for painted woods, our designers recognised that these boards offered a shabby chic feel that morphs to suit different interiors.”

Introducing stone designs into the range for the first time, Karndean has created a collection of iconic marble, slate, and terracotta designs in cool tones, from the fresh white colouring and distinctive veining of Palazzo Marble to the clean charcoal hues of Milanese Slate.

“Slate continues to be a popular look in flooring and with our
new Italian Slates, our designers wanted to introduce a subtle variation to this known classic. The directional markings within the tiles are vertical rather than horizontal and tiny flecks of tonal colour add depth and interest to the design. A smooth emboss allows the colour and design to attract all the focus” adds Stella Coyle. 

The new range offers the ultimate selection of beautiful designs with most available in both a rigid core and gluedown format to cope with common subfloor conditions.

Matthew Brook, national sales manager, Moduleo, reveals why their Roots collection is the best choice for retailers looking to provide homeowners with the latest natural trends:

“There are few floors quite as versatile in design as luxury
vinyl tiles and this is characterised by our Roots collection,
which features an impressive array of natural looks in wood
and stone, plus exciting materials like terrazzo and concrete. 

“That’s a good job because in styling our homes, there’s one underlying trend that’s relevant to everyone. We’re getting back to nature and our surroundings as an opposing force to our increasingly digital orientated lives – whether that’s work or personal relationships – we crave tactility and connection to the outdoors, whatever that looks like. 

“From here though it’s about finding those influences our
customers might personally connect with. We’ve worked with trend forecasters to create six interior themes reflecting macro trends within this idea of reconnecting to the natural world. Each has their own aesthetic and flooring looks. 

Futuristic textures to the pure, reviving experiences of glacial water – Roots is everything a thoughtful flooring collection should be: mature, timeless, fresh, inclusive and with the versatility to give everyone their perfect floor.”
