Stone flooring is gaining renewed attention this season, with designers blending its natural beauty with the latest trends and colour palettes. The new Art Select range by Karndean Designflooring brings a fresh contemporary interpretation to some of the most iconic floors with a collection of indulgent stone designs.
Guaranteed to bring a sense of luxury to any room, from kitchens, bathrooms and hallways to bedrooms and living rooms, the Art Select range combines authentic organic looks with a toughness that takes modern life in its stride. Inspired by interesting and precious stones from around the world, the collection includes the classic opulence of marble and travertine as well as stones with more humble origins such as Ceppo di Gré.
Gavin Smith, marketing director at Karndean Designflooring, said: “Nothing makes a statement or oozes sophistication like a stunning stone floor so we are delighted that these beautiful floors are being rediscovered by a new generation of home decorators.
“The new Art Select collection includes some of our favourite stones, collected on our travels around the world. New quartzite and pavimento designs are the perfect choice to complement a cool colour scheme in blues or greens to evoke calm and a restorative effect, while the chalky beauty of travertine is guaranteed to enhance warm rose or wine hues. Those looking for a more unusual choice might look to the ethereal and pearlescent beauty of our Persian onyx designs, a material not normally available for flooring due to its fragility, available in a choice of white, pink and black colourways.
“One of the many benefits of Karndean flooring is its outstanding versatility to create a look that expresses individuality. Tiles can be laid in brick, block or herringbone patterns, with or without design strips which give a grouting effect. With a consistent thickness, designs can be blended in any combination. Two or more complementary stone designs can be used to create a sense of depth and movement, or contrasting stone and wood designs in hand-cut shapes combined for a truly unique result.”
With all the practical benefits of Karndean flooring, from comfort underfoot and a waterproof hard-wearing surface that’s easy to keep hygienically clean, the new Art Select collection offers extraordinary craftsmanship and attention to detail. A smooth, uniform surface and matte finish mimics the character of each natural material and minimises light reflection. A rounded bevel highlights each individual tile while exceptional variation across tiles gives outstanding authenticity, backed up by a lifetime residential guarantee.
