  • Trend Alert: Craftmanship Revival

    A new board from wood floor specialists Woodpecker Flooring celebrates Craftmanship Revival – the latest interiors movement valuing skilled workmanship in homewares.

    Chepstow Distressed Charcoal Oak Engineered Wood Flooring is the latest addition to Woodpecker’s Legacy range, a unique collection that has received extra care and attention from Woodpecker’s team of expert designers. It is available in two widths, a generous 190mm, and a extra wide 240mm.

    A stunning blend of rich auburn and deep chocolatey hues, with bevelled edges and characterful markings, Chepstow Distressed Charcoal Oak has been designed to look like it’s always been a part of the home.

    The board epitomises Craftmanship Revival – a trend that appreciates the artisanal nature of homewares. It’s a move that celebrates natural materials as well the striking imperfections that add character and give each board an aged feel.

    Darwyn Ker, Managing Director of Woodpecker Flooring, said: “Chepstow Distressed Charcoal Oak Engineered Wood Flooring is ideal for capturing the feel that yours is a floor that’s been loved across the generations.

    “It works beautifully with sultry dark walls for a luxe feel, or with bright fresh paint to give a modern Parisian chic feel.”

    Chepstow Distressed Charcocal Oak is not the only Woodpecker range to showcase the Craftsmanship Revival trend; York Antique Oak, Goodrich Barn Oak and Berkeley Cathedral Oak will all bring artisanal charm to the home. 

    The antique-inspired Chepstow Distressed Charcoal Oak Engineered Wood Flooring is available now from woodpeckerflooring.co.uk priced at £152 per m2.

  • Riviera Home Goes Outdoors

    Renowned for its fine-quality handwoven carpets, Riviera Home has launched two new ranges made from premium TufStrand™ yarn. Suitable for outdoor and indoor use, TufStrand is an all-weather yarn that’s stain-resistant and bleach cleanable. Soft enough to be comfortable and luxurious indoors yet durable and practical enough to resist the elements, the yarn brings unity between indoor and outdoor living. Thanks to TufStrand, these new carpets are protected from household spills, easy to clean and represent great value for money.

    Part of Riviera Home’s Italian inspired collection, Livorno is handwoven from 100% TufStrand polypropylene. Incorporating two distinct designs: a wilton textured basketweave and a flatwoven herringbone, each in two complementary duo-tone colourways, Livorno adds elegance to any home. With Livorno, homes can seamlessly flow from open plan living to outdoor relaxing with the comfort and luxury that comes with Riviera Home.

    Medina is also from Riviera Home’s Italian collection, this time presenting wilton textured basketweave and flatwoven herringbone designs in three multi-tonal colour combinations. The carpet’s rich design makes it a statement in style and the multi-tonal yarn also helps to disguise dirt and spills more readily before cleaning.

  • Interior Design Trends for This Year!

    SENTTA is always following the trends and this year will not be different. We couldn’t pass by without sharing the most important interior design trends of this year.

    2024 will be marked with customisations, unique colours, and combinations of materials.

    We reunited some of the trends by analysing some of them through magazines, designers, and opinions.

    The Brown Renaissance resumes designs that will maintain the brown and the grey colours, not only on fabrics but also on wood.

    his will be the year of Bold and Fearless Colours. The white and grey spaces will give place to daring vibrancy, saturation, and colour combinations.

    Sculptural Art offers dimension to the room where it is inserted, combining finishes, textures, and forms.

    Sustainability will be maintained as one of the biggest trends of 2024. It’s predicted to be even more used this year, due to sustainable materials that can be used in some designs or new constructions. This year this will be taken as a global objective.

    Inviting Living Rooms will take place over cold and white places. Designers affirmed that minimalism upgraded to a more organic and cosy sensation. We’re walking in another direction: nudes, browns, earth tones and soft greens. We will see this green tone every place this year.

    Known Personalized Eclectism develops personalized spaces that will match the personality of the owner. You can put your character decor and stories in the first place. This means that we’ll have personalised spaces with rich colours. Besides that, the “vintage” pieces have been one of the biggest interests in the last year.

    In the last few months, the Quiet Luxury has been taken into consideration. Even though we were used to hearing this term related to haute-couture brands, we will see this trend also in furniture. It’s expected that the customers choose comfortable furniture instead of a clean look.

    The Interior Design community is divided into the continuation of this trend.
