These days one of the first places we go for inspiration is Instagram and have a look at what others are doing. Our collaboration with @house_of_holcroft is a perfect example of why Instagram is a great place for home inspiration. 

 

If you’re one for stopping scrolling when you see a beautiful herringbone flooring with a stunning surrounding then you will love this one. 

 

Let’s take a look at why @house_of_holcroft chose the flooring she chose and why…

 

Which Product Did You Choose and Why? 

 

“Vintage Chateau Herringbone White Chestnut for its contemporary look”

This flooring has been a popular contender making it a customer favourite, so it is no surprise that @house_of_holcroft chose this beautiful laminate.

 

Which room of the home did you transform and how did your flooring impact this?

 

“We transformed the downstairs of my home. It has brightened up the area hugely and the flooring is easy to maintain and hard wearing. It gives the downstairs a lovely modern look and the colour works perfectly with our theme.”

 

What Interior Styling Were You Wanting to Achieve? 

 

“A modern, contemporary look that won’t date”

 

That is certainly what she achieved with this stunning white, light and bright modern space.

 

How Would You Describe the Quality of the Product and Service? 

 

“Excellent quality and endless choices. Fabulous customer service from start to finish – even helping calculate square footage and wastage.”

 

Would You Recommend Direct Wood Flooring?

 

100% I have already purchased additional flooring and have been very happy with the cost, delivery and quality. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend DWF to anyone.

Looking to update your home this autumn? Before you do, let’s take a look at what is actually trending in the interiors and flooring department this autumn so you can update in style. 

We’ll look at some of this seasons favourites that are here to stay: 

 

• Rich Colours Paired With Dark Woods
• Warm neutrals
• Rusty orange

 

Rich Colours Paired With Dark Woods

 

This first trend is one that will add a luxurious depth to any room in your home. Using a rich colour palette, paired with darker wood floors, furnishings and accessories is the perfect way to create a sumptuous space. 

 

Painting your walls shades that have darker undertones: burgundy, deep greens and blues is the perfect way to provide the foundation of this interior trend. 

 

Now for the dark woods. Incorporating dark woods into your design is the perfect way to offset your interiors. 

 

These can be introduced through furnishing such as coffee tables, sideboards, the legs of your sofas, and your flooring!

 

Dark Wood Flooring 

 

When it comes to dark wood flooring, there is a wide range of options you can choose from to complement your rich coloured walls. 

 

As dark wood is in relation to a colour as opposed to a flooring type you’re not limited to just one type of flooring. Laminate, solid wood, engineered wood, LVT and EvoCore are all great options that will have a wide range of darker shades available to suit your design.

Warm Neutrals 

 

You may have been familiar with the grey trend that has entered the homes of millions over the last few years. Well, this neutral trend has evolved even further from your typical grey, to greige. 

 

Greige blends the popular interior colours of grey and beige, creating the perfect balance of cool chic tones, and warm inviting tones. Due to the neutral qualities of this trend, it is easy to introduce brighter colours or metals and woods to accentuate and accessorise with. 

 

This level of versatility is what has seen this trend become widely adopted by homes across the globe.

Flooring To Match This Trend

 

Lighter wood shades perfectly complement these neutral tones creating a beautiful warming space.

Rusty Orange

 

This final trend is picked straight from the autumnal palette. Rusty orange. 

 

This beautiful colour has become a favourable tone to bring a splash of autumn. The warm orange tone, forces a cosy, warm and welcoming space. 

 

Just picture it. Shades of dark orange, the candles are on, the blankets are out. Simply stunning. 

 

This interior trend is achieved with using rusty orange walls and furnishings, coupled with natural wood accessories and flooring.
