As we set our goals for 2024, it’s more important than ever that our homes feel supportive and reassuring. Although not a new concept, you’ve probably heard talk recently about the quiet luxury trend and how this can help us create the sanctuary we need.
But what is quiet luxury and how can you achieve the look? Put simply, it’s about using pared back styling and high quality materials that bring you joy. It’s restrained, muted and understated.
The sophisticated simplicity of quiet luxury is instantly welcoming as you return home, helping you relax after a stressful day. So feel free to invest in that item of beautiful craftsmanship you can’t get out of your head. Then add balance to the designer or antique piece of furniture with good quality materials and classic colours that will last the test of time.
Inspired by natural materials, with all their characterful grains, textures and colours, our floors form the perfect foundation for a quiet luxury interior, ensuring your home is individual and refined as well as practical and easy to maintain.
Classic wood design
Warm and comforting with timeless quality, an oak design floor will ground your space with the healing embrace of the natural world. Choose a colourway to complement your style, from the grey washed Glacial Oak or the warm neutral Hayfield Oak to the rustic blends of Light Worn Oak. Then select a laying pattern that will maximize a sense of space: long planks in a straight lay or at a 45 degree angle, or opt for one of our herringbone or chevron patterns.
Geometric patterns
A geometric pattern is guaranteed to add personality and tactile texture. Choose from one of our many herringbone options in either wood or stone or introduce a more unusual chevron pattern. Many of our designs are available in a choice of sizes and layouts, as well as format options to suit different subfloor conditions, so it’s easy to create a bespoke look with a blend of full-size planks and areas in herringbone or chevron.
For a floor that accentuates the star of the show, such as in a hallway featuring a sweeping staircase, why not replicate an iconic geometric tiled floor with our Heritage Collection.
Iconic stone flooring
The biggest luxury we have is time so, if you have room, why not make daily chores easier with a practical utility or boot room. Design in storage for laundry, muddy boots and wet coats, add a dog shower to avoid getting muddy paw prints through the house. Our marble designs are the perfect choice for a luxurious look that’s completely waterproof and simple to keep hygienically clean.
One of the many benefits of Karndean flooring is that you can combine wood with stone tiles. A consistent tile thickness means there are no restrictions so you can get the unique look you’re dreaming of. Just let your imagination fly!
