Flooring – Trends and Ideas

Flooring trends are constantly changing, not as much as fashion thank god! But home décor and flooring trends are continuously varying. Hardwood flooring trends have changed a lot throughout the years, in 2018 we saw a lot of the medium brown tones and a more rustic look. Another trends that picked up in 2018 were knots and strands, the natural and rough look was very popular. With 2019 we have seen grey tones come on to the scene and they look very luxurious. Carry on reading to see our top picks below.

Spotted 2019: Trends and ideas

The time has come, and you are ready to remodel your hardwood flooring and choose a new design that you have always dreamt of. It’s always so exciting until reality hits and you realise choosing flooring is um…. daunting. Except it doesn’t have to be, below we have listed the flooring trends that we have seen coming into 2019.

Bleached Woods

As we were saying this year, we have seen a lot more people going for grey tones. Not everyone likes the glossy brown stains of wood, for some people they would much rather the whitewashed look of bleached floor this is also a very modern design and can give a room a very clean and fresh feeling.

Distressed Wood

Distressed wood has the look of being a bit weathered and gives off a more rustic texture. This wood has a lot more knots and surface imperfections, than traditional wood would have, these will impact the effect of distressed wood. 

Parquet Flooring 

We’re all very familiar with horizontal and vertical laid wooden flooring. However, if you’ve been looking to have flooring with a bit of a twist, then parquet flooring would be perfect for you! It can make a room look completely different and a bit funky. This is a very eye-catching technique, we’ve seen people use different tones of wood, from the more traditional to the warm honey to tones.

 

 

 

 

The Power of Rugs

Lots more people are getting colourful or patterned rugs to go over the top of their wooden flooring. It can feel colder in a room if you are used to the carpet and have just switched to laminate or hardwood flooring. Introducing a rug into the room can go a long way for making it feel cosier again. With hardwood flooring, you have more scope for which rug you choose as it is essentially a blank canvas for your room. Therefore, the texture and colour of the rug that you choose is left very open.

Super happy with the price & service

Had our Bedroom double aspect windows, measured and fitted with wooden shutters. Whilst waiting we were also offered and fitted with paper blackout blinds, fitted by Amanda & the team. Super happy with the price & service and look forward to Unidrape completing the rest of our windows, with these shutters. Additionally, they provide a clean & tidy service, whilst fitting & took all rubbish away.

Really pleased with the results.

After meeting Kelly who was very helpful, we decided to order curtains and blinds for our new house. Amanda, who came to measure, was extremely knowledgeable about her products and offered advice on colours and fabrics when needed. We are very grateful to her and are really pleased with the results. The service, including fitting, was prompt and efficient.

Vescom Vinyl Wallcoverings

Here at Unidrape, we stock a large range of wallcoverings; including Vescom’s vinyl and textured wallcoverings. In today’s blog we will be explaining the many advantages of using a vinyl wallcovering, for your next interior project.

Vescom’s vinyl wallcoverings aim to provide a solution that is not only aesthetically innovative but also practical and simple. Combining the perfect combination of design, technology and service, Vescom offers a distinctive range of vinyl wallcoverings, in a wide variety of designs, patterns and colour palettes.

What are Vinyl Wallcoverings?
Vinyl wallcoverings are composed of a vinyl facing material with a cotton based backing; making it a very strong and durable, colourfast surface that is heavily resistant to scratches and impact in high traffic areas, such as hallways/landings.

 

What are the advantages of Vinyl Wallcoverings?
Vinyl wallcoverings are extremely heavy duty and long-lasting, and a Vescom vinyl wallcovering can easily have a lifespan of at least 10 to 15 years! Vinyl wallcoverings are colour fast and resistant to general everyday wear and tear. Rooms with high-activity can really benefit from a vinyl wallcovering; scratchproof and impact-resistant, these wallcoverings make the perfect surface for any room and environment.

One of key benefits of vinyl wallcoverings is that they require minimum care and can be easily cleaned, using standard household cleaners! Vescom wallcoverings can also be supplied with Vescom Protect finish, for additional protection against stains and chemicals; this also provides a hygienic wall surface, that can be disinfected.

The full range of Vescom’s vinyl wallcoverings are fully recyclable and are made in an environment-friendly production process that improves the sustainable production and use of PVC.

What designs/colours are available in Vinyl Wallcoverings?
Vescom’s wallcovering collection has no bounds, allowing you to select the perfect wallcovering from a staggering range of over 150 patterns, available in a palette of over 2,000 colours! Making it the perfect component of an interior design project, to let your imagination run free. The diverse and vast variety of vinyl wallcoverings available allows clients to easily incorporate this easy and affordable wallcovering, to almost any wall surface of their home or project. The collection allows you to either select a subtle, soft and cosy neutral wallcovering for an area such as a Living Room or to make a bold, creative statement in an area such as a Bedroom or Entrance/Hallway.

How do you apply Vinyl Wallcoverings?
Vinyl wallcoverings are efficient and simple to mount, they can be fitted quickly and do not require any drying time, alongside the product being odourless; meaning that rooms can be used immediately after handling the product and applying to the wall. To mount vinyl wallcoverings, specialist Vescom adhesive is required; there are a range of Vescom adhesives available to suit the chosen product and surface, based on the weight/square meterage of the surface area.

What are the prices of Vinyl Wallcoverings & how to purchase?
The price of vinyl wallcoverings varies, dependent on the design and weight of the material, and can range from approximately £19 to £30 (per linear metre). Here at Unidrape we have a large collection of Vescom sample books, to show an amazing range of design and colour combinations for vinyl wallcovering options. We can then order your required quantity (in linear metres) and have it delivered directly to store within a week! Vinyl wallcoverings are definitely a worthwhile investment, with no unexpected additional costs during the standard service life of 10-15 years for a wall/project; making it a cost-effective option, compared to standard wallpapers or paints.
