My inspiration is the thrill of finding new flavours. I love to watch that moment when someone discovers something they have not tasted before.

We can’t think of anything better than to wake up or get back to a cosy home every day

Runyararo Ellen of InterFloors says, “The New Year is fast approaching and is the best time for homeowners to revamp old wooden floors. Sanding your floors and then applying 3 coats of varnish will bring back the natural look of the wooden floors that you fell in love with. Sanding and then applying floor polish regularly will make the varnish last and provide a longer-lasting shine for up to 5 years.”

Runyararo stressed the importance of refreshing your home in time for New Year, expressing that you need a clear and fresh perspective to tackle the new challenges ahead. “We can’t think of anything better than to wake up or get back to a cosy home every day. And don’t forget that hosting will be made a lot easier.”

Touching on the latest trends in designing new homes or renovating older ones she pointed out that vinyl flooring is the latest craze. “Not our old traditional vinyl tiles. They come in bigger-sized planks that are waterproof. You can have one colour throughout the house or you can spice it up and get a different colour in every room. Epoxy flooring with its glossy look is also another huge craze and cladding and decking are also quite popular”.

She also highlighted that design trends always seem to come back but modified and better. “For instance, vinyl flooring has been modified from the traditional tiles to wood look tiles in longer planks that are clicked together to avoid lifting. A cheaper version of wood has been created in wood laminates with a variation of colours too. Then you have the hardwoods that will forever be one of the best flooring options although changing in shapes and designs.” Long strips or planks are still popular as is the herringbone pattern but laminates and rubber flooring are becoming increasingly sought after.

InterFloors have the ability to supply any home or business with the right type and quality of flooring.
