When you’re planning a home interior design makeover, you have to make what feels like a hundred tiny decisions. After a while, it’s tempting to just go with the first option because that’s easiest, but making snap decisions like that could have a negative effect on your final look.

Got an eye on the latest design trends? Want to know which floors suit the latest styles? You’re in the right place!
Natural lighting
The pandemic may have been the origin of people spending more time at home, but the trends that came with it are here to stay. With many people embracing hybrid and remote work, natural lighting – along with whitewashed flooring – creates the peaceful, multifunctional spaces people crave.
Craft revival

Flooring choices made easy – a buyer’s guide
In the past, choosing a floor was simple. There were fewer options on the market, and each had well-known benefits and drawbacks. Real wood and stone were the premium choices, for example, with prices out of reach for most people – while laminate was cheap but unsophisticated.
