Furnishing is an expression the homeowner’s character combined with the flooring design. And while the flooring is crucial to getting the décor just right, an ill-matched furniture arrangement can be extremely unsightly and undermining a stylish living. The Flooring Group will list a few key point to follow. The minimalism trend Most contemporary arrangements significantly value space over dense and cluttered rooms. Minimal furniture or units that are geometric and extravagance free – is in the trend. Often, the colours are plain black, white, cream, or grey for a sense of spaciousness. The best choice is a lighter-toned floor for this aesthetic which will add to those sensibilities. The Flooring Group recommends beech laminate that is neat and very appealing. It is also bright enough to enhance a minimal décor without drawing much attention to the floor area. Placing an oyster grey sofa on it, or a high white bookcase will gain that immaculate 21st-century effect. The ever-popular vintage look Retro furniture has made a huge comeback recently. Homes across the UK are flaunting trolley storage, cage decorations, thick wooden tables and factory-borne lighting fixtures. This trend relies on a blend of natural and manufactured materials of all types, where the design elements can be seen with a rustic twist. Distressed Antique Oak is the pick The Flooring Group will rate for the vintage-minded homeowner. It looks incredible under a sepia glow, and endures the wear and tear from metal chairs or cabinet legs. Authentic Scandi beauty The Scandinavians are proven to be a seemingly inexhaustible source of amazing furniture. The trend is becoming more creative with every new year. For a Scandi fan, the Herringbone flooring is just what is needed for that soft, wave-like statement in the bedroom or living area. A thin floor lamp will be perfect to accompany the seating, which can be dressed in soft pastel shades. Herringbone will also look great beneath a Scandi coat hanger, even antlers and bare tree branches. The Rustic feel A country living will always be defined by rich, deep wood furniture. Traditional homes may still choose a mahogany dining table or a display case from dark solid beech. Yet it is never a good idea to opt too full-blown on a single tonal scheme. Far better will be to mix up the wood palette with a luxury oak-effect vinyl floor, and chestnut chairs that stand out against the lighter backdrop. In the bedroom, the opposite contrast will make a statement, with a pine bed frame on Black Walnut.
