Today Bold Stripes, Oversized Florals and Marine Blues Are Not Just Hanging in Your Closet — They’re Hitting the Floor!
Like the fashion industry, interior design is all about visuals, textures, layers and materials — and it doesn’t stop with furniture and window treatments. Have you considered that the largest palette in your home is right beneath your feet?
Think about it. When you walk into a room your eyes do not move from top to bottom — quite the opposite. Your gaze starts at the floor and moves up — your floors make the statement. They set the tone, add the drama and create the mood in your home.
Whether on our body or in our home, the fashions we gravitate to and trends we adopt serve as a reflection of who we are. No one says that floors must be “trendy.” In fact history demonstrates that function trumps fashion when it comes to floors. But in 2016 — when high tech innovation, low maintenance attributes and eco-friendly features collide — we’re in for some big changes in the flooring market that are destined to make their statement and stand the test of time!
Scouts and experts at the World Floor Covering Association (WFCA) have scoured The International Surfaces Event (TISE), one of the home market’s largest international trade shows, and have been working hand-in-hand with manufacturers from around the world to introduce the latest and greatest new products and trends in flooring.
Fabulous Floors is pleased to be able to share this information with our readers.
