Despite its gloomy and dull reputation, the colour grey's versatile nature is what makes it a popular choice that can create a modern atmosphere in the home.
Luxury vinyl tiles (LVT), in particular, are becoming a popular choice because of their natural look which suits any room, not to mention the relative low cost involved.
Dan Foskett, Managing Director of Flooring Superstore, said: “As with anything these days, people are always looking for quality, efficiency and longevity when buying any product, and LVT flooring is becoming a popular choice amongst homeowners. It is very easy to maintain, giving an authentic stone or wood look, and can last for more than 20 years, which is a huge advantage.
“Grey is a colour often associated with poor weather, but it can produce a light, modern atmosphere, creating the home of the future. Whether you’re looking to create a minimalist, nautical or shabby chic style, grey flooring will compliment any décor.”
Soft, sink-your-feet-into-it carpet is having a resurgence, with Associated Weaver’s iSense soft pile carpets proving popular in shades from pale Shadow to darker Early Evening and everything in between.
And, the enduring love affair with the warmth of real wood continues. Brushed and oiled oak or parquet flooring add understated luxury to any home.
Dan added: “While beige or cream have previously been the neutral of choice for interiors, grey is now having its moment. We’re seeing a surge in orders for all shades of grey, from those which merge grey with beige, to make the modern hue of greige, to silvery shades and darker charcoals. Even wooden flooring has had a makeover with a subtle brushed grey effect which highlights the natural grains of the wood.”
