And I’m not just talking about how it looks either. You really need to give careful consideration to what sort of flooring suits the space; taking into account things like usage and traffic.
I’m always on the lookout for new ideas and I work hard to source the latest products to use in Mood’s design projects. Check out the following interiors. I think you’ll agree that the floors steal the show.
I love everything about this room but, for me, the floor is the real stand out feature.
This floor is a work of art; definitely the star of this space.
Setting the trend with carpet
Patterned and ‘statement’ coloured carpets are all the rage these days, so don’t be afraid to be adventurous to transform a space with a loud look. Just make sure that the carpet and your furnishings compliment each other, or you might end up giving yourself a headache.
Dark purples, blues and black will help to create an opulent, decadent atmosphere, while more adventurous types might want to try bold colours like cerise and orange.
For those who prefer a simpler approach colours like grey, pale pink, beige and muted blues can work really well.
Ceramic and wood – not boring!
Ceramic and wooden floors are always a popular choice, but they don’t have to be staid and boring. There are some stunningly different options available to you, if you take the time to look.
Sometimes it’s our “imperfections” that make us worth knowing, and by the same token, these contemporary “cracked” tiles from Refin are worth a closer look. In the words of the manufacturer, this modern tile’s mark of distinction is the crack down the centre, which signifies “…the passing of time and the traces it leaves on its way.”
It’s a bit of a profound statement to makes about a tile but, nonetheless, I think it looks incredible.
This next flooring is designed by Cifial USA. It features a gorgeous tiled motif that makes its way up onto the walls and is echoed in the stained-glass window behind the toilet - a lovely touch that ties the elements of this slim and sleek space together.
This classic contemporary interior design by Pietro Carlo Pellegrini brings new life to an old attic. The light oak floors and an exposed-beam white-painted ceiling give the space a Nordic feel.
The next floors use a new ceramic tile collection by Italian designer Franco Pecchioli. They provide “…vivid oceanic shades of aquamarine speckled with black and white…and…incorporate organic materials like metals and mosaics for a raw yet refined look.” Stunning!
This deluxe duplex apartment in Tel-Aviv has been designed in very creative and personal way. The interior was designed to express the nature of the owner of the apartment and colourful paving, consisting of random tiles, provides a significant contribution to the design.
What about the rugs?
We can’t forget about rugs. They are an absolute must when it comes to highlighting and accenting particular areas. We all love a good rug to give our home that homely, finished look, don’t we?
This interior by Joey Ho Design is inspired by nature and incorporates its leafy surroundings into living spaces. The apartment is predominately white and an epoxy resin floor reveals reflections like a pond with a Green rug to reinforce the natural setting.
So that’s flooring for you. I hope you found it an interesting read.
