During the winter we've been loving cosy knits, ultra-stylish shades of grey and a nod towards vintage antique. Interiors have been all about that copper hardware, dusty Scandinavian vibes and the irresistible warmth of alpine-chic but now the sun has got his hat on, shout hip hip hip hooray because we're here with some inside intelligence on the interior trends you need to stay on top of this season.
Spring and Summer mean we’ll be putting the hot cocoa back in the cupboard and embracing the outdoors much more but that doesn’t mean your interiors have to suffer - oh no, buddy! Stay one step ahead of the rest with our style-savvy assistance and the perfect carpet tiles to boot.
Clashing colours
Think carnivalesque, think psychedelic-chic and forget all the rules about complimentary hues because Spring/Summer '16 is all about having fun with colour. Now is the time for you to dare to be different when it comes to kitting out your interiors because there really is no right or wrong answer. If you fancy pairing purple with an electric orange, or coupling luminous yellow with a pillar box red then go for it.
Make like Lou Reed and take a walk on the wild side because with a change of season comes the chance to get really, really creative. Animal prints, bamboo motifs, palm leaves and exotic birds are all taking the forefront so make sure you create a show-stopping statement when it comes to your flooring solution.

A feel for folk
For those of you who prefer something a little more rustic than radioactive when it comes to colour schemes and key interior features, you’ll be pleased to know the beautiful bohemian vibe is back and we already can’t get enough of folky florals and rich, warm tones. Free-spiritedness and individuality simple come as part of the territory when it comes to this one but look towards natural materials, clashing patterns and perfectly mismatched furniture to get you started on the right foot.
Furniture is getting a whitewash makeover and wooden decor is stealing the spotlight in a big way as folk comes back in fashion so create the floor or feature rug to match. We’ve pulled together just a small handful of our best-selling carpet tiles which are sure to help you hit then nail on the head with this ethnic trend. Each offers depth in shade, style or texture for a look that delivers on both style and substance.

Modern monochrome
Okay so S/S '16 might be the perfect time for you to get crazy with colour and frolic with folk but one timeless classic is staying strong in the style stakes for yet another season - that’s right, it’s good old modern monochrome. The black and white bonanza has been a big one for years upon years and really is showing no signs of shifting but we aren’t complaining as this ying-yang marriage of contrasting tones is a surefire way to scream elegance and sophistication.
From furniture to paintwork, crockery to pictures frames and bedspreads to carpet tiles, the combination of black and white never gets old. The great thing about monochrome is that it will live on through season after season and look great in any living space or commercial area so once you perfect an interior look you love, it will provide you with the gift that just keeps on giving.
