Designer flooring. Ideas and trends.

Redecorating, refurbishing are also simpler tasks, but also more complex ones. Let's say you're on this job yourself, and one of the challenges is to replace pardoselei. Which material to choose? What essence? Which colour? What suits your space and your artistic decorating ideas? Do you go for classic, elegant, do you go for extravagance or perhaps for special textures perfect for an artistic approach?

And if you have a more sophisticated style, you're unlikely to choose a glossy floor in the shade of P43 (details have Mihaela).

Information about special floors can also be found here but you'll certainly be interested in the news. If your sense is buzzing with innovations or trends, let's check them out.

One thing is for sure, there is a wide variety of models and it's good because you have a choice. The choice of flooring is not only influenced by the wood species and colour, but also by the artistic effects it creates. Some effects are achieved by the way the pieces of wood are attached. Others by inserting different materials, but also by highlighting nodes or irregularities in the piece of wood.

The trend is to keep the natural appearance of the wood, to return to the traditional without trying to mask the original defects.

As for the finish, the most sought-after look is natural-inspired, comprising a wide palette of browns, amber, greys, from dark to lighter shades. It's more about a particular look or effect than a colour.

A new market requirement in the flooring sphere is finishing very light to white. In response to these demands the Swedish firm Kährs created its new collections focusing on the colour white.

An artistic approach to flooring is given bymix of shapes and textures wood.

Designer Patricia Urquiola has rethought the traditional classic floor - that floor made of narrow strips of wood - using boards with rounded and slightly curved edges. Inspired by the interiors of Versailles, she created a collection of wooden floors called Biscuit. The oak plank puzzle can be assembled in a variety of ways depending on the style desired.

Of course, these are just a few ideas you might consider, but what stands out is a look DISCREET and SOFISTICAT. Floors have as natural a look as possible. The aim is to preserve colours and shades and highlight the imperfections of the wood.
