Everyone
has caught on to the trend that it is no longer only clothes that are the must
have fashion accessory, but that the desire to be fashionable has spilled over
into interior design too. Nothing says more about you than your home, which
is why interior design has become a national pastime. Changing Rooms and the numerous
other make over programmes started a revolution in the way that we decorate and
have made our living space into a stylish expression of who we are. One
rule of interior design has however remained constant if you want the room to
look right, is that the floor has to look right first. This is why flooring design
has become so attractive to top fashion designers such as Jeff Banks and Linda
Barker and why householders are paying more attention to what they put on their
floor than ever before. Flooring is the key to achieving the right look
and tone to any room in the home. The chic sense of style created by laminate
and solid wood flooring, the serenity and calm of natural look carpets and the
extravagance in the use of colour, imagination and texture has put flooring to
the forefront of interior design. If you want to capture the perfect mood for
your home, then look first to the flooring. For most of us, the days of
buying flooring to last for the next 20 years are gone. Today people change flooring
as often as they redecorate. The sector has finally woken up to the “changing
rooms” phenomenon and has responded with incredibly good quality, low cost
product with a flair for design and colour. Indeed the choice of flooring available
on the market today has never been better. The following sections
have been created to provide some tips on creating the perfect look for your new
home.
