The last few years have highlighted how floors are stepping up to take a lead role within interior design. This month’s blog showcases six natural floor styles that use colour, pattern, and texture to create that wow factor with maximum impact.
If you’re looking to add patterns without overpowering neutral colour schemes, natural floors in herringbone pattern styles are a great option. They explore this timeless design, and the natural fibres lend themselves well to creating a shiny contrast. This close-up shows how the silvery tones of Agra Platinum fit this style perfectly.
Bold Runners
Mixing up with pattern and texture, coir runners are great for adding a hardwearing solution for hallways, staircases and living areas. These work particularly well in plain rooms where its pattern can help draw the eye and provide the illusion of space and direction. This picture features our Aurora Coir Runner Bolides with rich, warm tones and accentuating pops of light feather stitch detail.
Monochromes
Monochrome accessories are great for accentuating angles and tying in with modern styles when choosing a statement floor for a contemporary home. Consider selecting a rug with a dark border to help define space and create zones in dining, kitchen and living room spaces. This is a convenient solution to tackling open-plan spaces. This picture features our Babylon Cinnamon rug with Graphite Border.
Refreshing Grey
Grey is such a forgiving colour, so it is no surprise that since its resurgence in the 2010s, it remains a popular choice for homeowners. It works as a beautiful contrast with bright and neutral colours, making it a versatile choice. We’ve double-greyed with this statement rug created using our Rug Creator Tool. The Boucle Slate material is matched with a cool linen ash border for that ultimate contemporary twist.
Splash of Colour
Sometimes subtle is not in the rule book, and when it comes to natural floors, it’s no surprise that nature-inspired colour features heavily. Choosing fine line details such as our Country Poppy Field sisal is a versatile way of introducing colour to your floor that will work with various colour palettes. We particularly like how this floor is accentuated with rich reds, cool greys, warm beige and light white. Whether used as a statement floor or rug, it can easily adapt to future trends and provides longevity without losing impact.
Graphic Lines
Lines and stripes have often been used to create signature styles within home interiors and choosing a natural floor or rug that replicates linear design is a great way of adding instant impact. We’ve showcased how our Country Wild Meadow, with its graphite and blue-toned lines, contrasts beautifully against lighter neutrals for a stand out signature floor.
