The main light source of a room often is sunshine coming through the main window in a room. Laminate flooring should be installed parallel to the main light source in a room to create the most flattering look.

SUSTAINABLE AND ORGANIC

COLOR FOCUS
Colours influence our sensory perception. Whether consciously or unconsciously, we automatically associate colours with meanings that influence our sensations. In this way, the effects of rooms can be controlled – sometimes calm and serene or energetic and stimulating! Depending on the mood I want to create.
LAVENDER
The trend scouts all agree that lavender is set to dominate our homes in 2023. This delicate, blue-tinged pastel tone can be both calming and fun. On furniture, walls or textiles, lavender creates a perfect balance in the home. And – even better – this serene color is great for combining with other shades. Pair bright, warm floors with lavender, and bask in the glow of a summer’s day in Provence. Or opt for more low-key, grey flooring with lavender to create an oasis of balance and calm.

THE ART OF PARING BACK
We would be the first to admit that it’s difficult to part with possessions, even if you haven’t used them for a long time. Moving house often offers the opportunity to consider what you really want to keep and how much you actually need in order to feel at home. Interior design is set to focus on the idea of paring back to the essentials in 2023.
No-frills wooden and metal furniture features in airy, urban rooms, where the design impact centers, above all, around “absences”. This trend is perfect for combining with our new, natural stone-effect flooring. These styles of decor exude strength and clarity, underlining the consciously pared-back look.

OUR
DESIGN TIP
Your oasis of nature with the Belvedere oak decor is an impressive setting for the bold and trendy retro look with elements from times gone by. Because the tranquillity that your source of strength radiates makes the colourful mix of shapes dance. Dance with us. How about even more vigour with a green smoothie in your Green Zone?
What does it depend on, the famous wow effect in a room impression? Definitely the courage to reduce and very deliberate, restrained emphasising. Sounds complicated? But it’s not, as our example shows. The perfect blend of warm brown and vanilla milk foam in the Gunray walnut cappuccino decor combines perfectly with the stylishly understated furnishing style. Only the bright yellow armchair seems to draw attention to itself. But in fact, the colours of the room combine in a wonderfully harmonious and flowing way. The floor provides the impressive stage for this perfect setting.
OUR
DESIGN TIP
Combine a very light grey instead of white as a wall colour with a discreet use of black. This makes the room appear softer, warmer and more natural. Wood tones and matt gold enhance this elegant look.

MYSTERIOUS AND APPEALING
GNARRENBURG OAK BROWN, KRONOTEX EXQUISIT COLLECTION
The name sounds mysterious – and that’s just what it is. It takes us to the Teufelsmoor in Lower Saxony. That’s where the community of Gnarrenburg sits nestled in the heart of unique protected countryside. Moors harness the powers of nature. They only rarely reveal what’s in their possession. Moors are special and unique. Just like the centuries-old oak from the Teufelsmoor that inspired our Gnarrenburg Oak Brown decor.
Peaty brown combines with delicate rose pink in this decor to create a velvety soft look. The floor exudes softness and sensuality.
OUR
DESIGN TIP
Combine the Gnarrenburg Oak Brown decor with THE trend color of 2024, Peach Fuzz. The delicate rose pink orange blends wonderfully with the floor’s tones. A sofa or armchair in an on-trend shape inspired by the human silhouette – perhaps in light blue – is the perfect way to complete the look.
The magic of South England can be found in the new KRONOTEX decor Salisbury Chestnut Dark. It’s as if the spirit of the landscape is captured in this flooring. Soft shapes and warm colors create a balanced elegance. The strong tradition that places like Salisbury exude combines with the beauty of classical flooring in this decor.
Warm honey tones combine with creamy cappuccino notes to create an interplay of color full of positive energy. The subtle mix of light and dark reflections is the perfect way to round off the palette.
