Wabi-Sabi Style – Embrace Beauty
The core message of the Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy is to appreciate what aligns with nature. This trend, however, differs from the Scandinavian hygge in that nothing here needs to be perfect. Wabi-sabi interiors reflect the beauty of nature, which, over time, retains its beauty. The best example of this is wood or wood-based materials.
Wooden and wood-derived floors will become one of the main hallmarks of this style. Combined with natural, earthy colors and organic materials, they will be highly fashionable in 2018. The most fashionable floor panel designs will feature prominent wood grains and a synchronized structure, such as Bavarian Oak from the Premium collection or Baleary Oak from the De Lux offering.
African Motifs and Panel Staining
Exotic inspirations return to us in interior design every year. This time, they come from Africa – interesting images, graphics, and fabrics featuring ritual masks in a modern version. This trend works excellently with colonial style, creating a balance between the latest trends and timeless style and elegance.
To achieve the desired effect, dark floor panels, such as Congo Oak from the Ambiance collection, are perfect. For clients who appreciate boldness, we recommend panels with a dominant burgundy-red hue that imitates exotic wood, which will pair beautifully with dark furniture and an exotic arrangement.
Strong Trend: Red Furniture
Those who closely follow trends have surely noticed the popularity of this color – red has taken over not only clothing and accessories but also furniture, making it an excellent addition to interiors. Fashionable red can be used in two ways: making it very elegant and timeless or creating a space in a modern style.
In the first case, upholstered sofas or armchairs in a subdued, yet warm and noble red are recommended. These pair very well with floor panels in an interesting, dark shade and a natural structure. A good example is Bourbon Oak from the Premium collection. For those who want to use red in a more modern version, we recommend light walls and gray floor panels. For the past few years, these have been considered a symbol of modernity, looking fantastic in living rooms or bedrooms.
Fashionable and Classic – Canadian Oak
Finally, the most fashionable floor panel designs of 2018 that can be used in various arrangements, ensuring their structure and color will remain trendy for many years.
For those looking for dark wood, Toledo Oak is a versatile and elegant choice, perfectly fitting in many different arrangements and spaces.
Another example is Canadian Oak in a light, naturally warm color. It fits well in Scandinavian and Japanese interiors, pairing beautifully with red accents. It will serve as a solid foundation for further experiments for those who enjoy changing their home’s décor and for those looking for timeless wood-derived panels.
Thanks to their durability and easy maintenance, the floor panels from the De Lux collection will remain beautiful and reliable even after many years.
