Intro
As we embark on a new year, interior aesthetics are evolving, and flooring is taking centre stage in defining the look and feel of modern spaces. Join us as we explore the innovative styles, materials, and design concepts that will shape the floors beneath our feet in the coming year.
Get some life in those floors!
We think 2024 is the year to let timber flooring really shine! And what better way to do this by choosing feature rich timber flooring.
For all those timber lovers out there, there is no better way to add unique character to your home than by including the rich knots and grains of timber flooring.
To achieve this Australian Timber is the perfect choice. Featuring the intricate organic patterns and wood knots found in Australian Blackbutt and Spotted Gum species, these boards are sure to make a statement.
We recommend also keeping an eye out for our new Rustic Grade European Oak range! Featuring ABCDE graded boards, this range with display the complete natural beauty of European Oak species. To find out more about timber grading click here.
Broaden your perspective
Great news! In 2024, extra-wide and long flooring planks remain a steadfast trend. These versatile planks seamlessly complement various interior styles, ranging from sleek and contemporary to authentically salvaged aesthetics. The expansive dimensions of wide boards contribute to a polished and well-proportioned visual, accentuating the inherent texture and natural beauty of the wood. And in good news for hybrid lovers (like us), coming in 2024, our new 6.5mm & 7mm Hybrid ranges will feature an extra wide board!
Biophilic Beauty
Tap into your inner horticulturist and experiment with infusing your living space organic materials in 2024. Rooted in the idea of biophilia, an affection for nature, biophilic design integrates visual depictions of natural elements, crafting tranquil environments that establish a visual link to the world outside. Wood and wood-like flooring seamlessly align with the principles of biophilic design, perfectly fulfilling the criteria for creating serene and revitalizing interior spaces.
Make it Sustainable
In our ongoing commitment to foster a more eco-friendly planet, the selection of sustainable products for our homes has gained paramount significance. Contrary to common perceptions, timber flooring emerges as a highly environmentally conscious choice for your home.
At Flooring Online, all European Oak timber flooring is accredited as sustainable by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®), ensuring that the timber is sourced from renewable forests and actively contributes to the planting of millions of new trees annually. Prioritising the maximisation of resources, our engineered timber stands out by utilising a greater portion of each tree compared to solid timber, underscoring our dedication to sustainable and responsible practices.
Going Grey Isn’t a Bad thing!
We think 2024 could be the year grey tones take centre stage! Warm grey floors are a great way to give your home a distinctive aesthetic while still allowing you to realise a wide range of interior styles. Neutral grey flooring is extremely versatile and serves as great interior canvas to express yourself. Consider incorporating earthy tones, exposed brick or subtle pale blues into your home to complement the understated elegance of grey flooring. We recommend trying some flat lays to find a style you love. Flat lays are a great way to set the mood of your home, they allow you to see if your flooring works cohesively with your cabinetry, tiles, hardware and furnishings. Flooring comes in a wide range of colours and finishes, so it’s important to try various samples and colour types within your flat lays to see what works best. Read more about flat lays here.
Life proof your floors in 2024
2024 is again going to be another great year for hybrid flooring! Hybrid has rapidly become one of the most popular choices for Australian home over the last few years, and for good reason. The cutting-edge technology inherent in Hybrid flooring makes it an indisputable choice for wet areas.
