    TREND REPORT

    Like everything to do with the home, some looks are more popular than others. Anne Plumb, general manager at Royal Oak Floors, explains what’s happening in floor fashion:

    + “There is a lot of interest in chevron and herringbone patterns at the moment. I think people like to have a point of difference in the look of their floors and those patterns are reminiscent of beautiful Parisian apartments.”

    + “Pale floors have been on trend for several years now. White Smoked is our most popular colour. I think the Australian climate lends itself to white walls and light floors, and it’s a very easy colour to live with.”

    “The European market is heading into warmer brown tones like walnut, so I think that will be the next thing to filter through to Australia.”
