September, 2024
As Autumn 2024 approaches, the world of commercial flooring is experiencing an exciting shift towards designs that blend functionality with aesthetic appeal. For businesses and offices, the flooring is more than just a surface—it’s a statement of brand identity and a key element in creating a conducive work environment. In this article, we explore the latest flooring trends that are set to dominate this season, focusing on colours, patterns, and the materials that are leading the charge.
The Autumn 2024 colour palette is all about warmth and earthiness. Commercial spaces are embracing shades that evoke a sense of comfort and stability. Expect to see a surge in rich browns, deep greens, and muted terracotta tones. These colours not only create a welcoming atmosphere but also complement natural light, enhancing the overall aesthetic of office environments.
Examples of these colours within the DURAFLOR range can be found in the Cubism range, with colourways such as 6726 Mondrian Brown and 6724 Frida Chestnut.
Patterns continue to be a significant trend in flooring design, with geometric shapes and textural layers taking centre stage. This Autumn, the trend is towards more intricate designs that add depth and interest to otherwise minimalistic spaces. Hexagons, chevrons, and herringbone patterns are particularly popular, offering a modern twist to traditional flooring styles.
Hexxtile by DURAFLOR is a carpet tile range for designers looking to add texture, shape, and a splash of colour to a floorscape. Geometric design styles are proving more and more popular but are often restricted due to budget constraints, which takes them out of the parameters of many office design schemes. Hexxtile can be a cost effective alternative to traditionally expensive ranges.
Carpet tiles have long been favoured for their modularity, allowing businesses to create custom patterns and designs that align with their brand identity. The ability to mix and match colours and textures provides a level of flexibility that traditional broadloom carpets cannot offer. Moreover, the ease of installation and replacement makes carpet tiles a practical choice for spaces that require frequent updates or have high foot traffic.
According to a report by London Commercial Flooring, the versatility of carpet tiles is a significant factor in their growing demand. This modular approach allows for tailored solutions that can adapt to the changing needs of a commercial space, making them a practical and sustainable choice for businesses aiming to keep their environments up to date and appealing.
As we step into Autumn 2024, the trends in flooring design for commercial spaces are clear-warm, earthy tones, geometric patterns, textural layers, and versatile coverings are leading the way. When selecting flooring for your projects, consider the long-term benefits of choosing designs and materials that enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of your space.
