The palette of new-age materials is broadening as innovation takes centre stage, transforming floors into intricate works of art.
DO THE NEW
Patterned wooden floors, meticulously designed concrete, and artistic epoxy redefine contemporary design, offering more than just a foundation. Composite wooden floors, luxurious carpets, and versatile vinyl have emerged as dynamic solutions, meeting the preferences of clients seeking easily changeable designs. Bamboo floors, recognised for their sustainable nature, have gained prominence alongside the rustic appeal of Kota, underlining the industry’s dedication to eco-friendly luxury. “Natural Quartzite is a popular choice among consumers for contemporary flooring because of its alluring beauty. There’s also a noticeable increase in creative tile selections that mimic the appearance of metal, wood, stone, and marble. This combination of modern imitations and materials inspired by nature provides the consumers with a range of aesthetic alternatives in modern interior design,” says Rahul Maheshwari, Director, Marble Centre International.
