elcome to the first issue of TISE Living – a magazine dedicated to surface products & interior trends. What better way to start 2016 than to explore the trends set to dominate the coming year?
We asked: What do you think the biggest flooring trend will be in 2016?
It’s a year that will see a focus on materials that connect us to Nature, a sense of Wellbeing, and a new take on Luxury. We highlight the gamechanging product launches from across the industry, new styling tricks, and explain how to balance the year’s color palettes. We’re forecasting a renewed love affair with travertine, a resurgent interest in dark wood tones, and growth for cork, whilst the desire for gray tones gains even greater momentum. From the latest material mash-ups, desirable wood tones and ontrend surface finishes to the key pattern directions of the year, we’ve compiled the hottest style stories that will help you get ahead of the competition. This really is the definitive flooring trends edit. s Trend I’m ING: V O L

#1
Belo Rio Sun, Samba and New Style
This trend has a vibrant city focus, with particular influences from South America. Rio’s street culture, Favela lifestyle, carnival spirit, beach scenes and lush Amazonian rainforest all provide designers with inspiration. Stylistically this trend is joyful, colorful and expresses a fusion of cultures. From this emerges a spontaneous style of re-purposed product design, a sense of exuberant improvisation, and a mix of color and pattern.

RECLAIMED
Luiz-Felipe Andrade
A reclaimed and re-purposed design agenda is inspired and reinforced by the favela’s of Rio. From this emerges a spontaneous, imperfect, raw and industrial craft style for flooring. Wood holds the remnants of paint and wording, it’s surface is scraped, worn, weathered and aged. Multi-layers of color, pattern and texture is built up gradually to create a collaged approach; a crowded feel. Chaotic tile mosaic, graffiti patterns and raffia weaves dominate rug and carpet design direction. A real mix and mismatch of intense layers builds an interior style that has the exuberant energy of Rio’s street culture. Important materials include reclaimed woods, brightly colored woven and knitted yarn constructions, cork, scuffed leather and bamboo.

#2
WOODLAND WALK A trend that seeks out the beauty, rawness and destructiveness of nature. Overgrown, unexpected and untamed elements of nature create an enchanting mood. Eleanor Jane Browne
DARK ROMANTICISM
Agatha A Nitecka
A traditional and familiar atmosphere can be seen and felt throughout this trend’s style. But, then you begin to notice the intensity of the dense florals, overgrown qualities and the peeling back of layers through time. Then you can sense the evocative nature of this trend. Its romanticism and deep connection to nature, the beauty in its rawness and even in its destructive qualities.

Crumbled
Designers and architects begin to explore the beauty and rawness of nature through the appearance of overgrown elements and untamed features. Here we take you through 10 of the best interior products that relate to this trend. Products which appear to be eroded or distressed over time. Crumbling and cracking textures, surface finishes are chalky, dusty and matte. Overlapping, aged and peeling layers add interesting qualities to lighting and furniture. The importance of layering semi sheer fabrics is strengthened in this trend, to create a blurred, hazy appearance, building that mysterious mood and atmosphere.

Dark Floral Wallpaper by Ellie Cashman Design
Light by Jess Shaw
This season florals are dark, dense and fantastical often having a dreamlike quality and are seen on wallpaper (left) and also tile (below). Designers should embrace classic fabric patterns such as Glen Check, Herringbone and Houndstooth which are often seen in traditional men’s suiting. There is an overall sense of heritage and familiarity here, fabrics are brushed, felted, hazy and blurred, as well as incorporating the essential tweed textures. Other materials include gray or brown toned marble, and naturally aged, gray toned woods with multi colored loop pile rugs and carpet. These materials work beautifully alongside the dense floral patterns in the deep heather purples, hazy lilacs and intense wine tones.

Now with a focus on flooring, you can see how the important aesthetics within the Woodland Walk trend can translate onto your floor.
CRACKLED
Add unexpected beauty and rawness to your interior by including a worn, distressed-look rug that explores revealing layers of pattern such as designs by Louis De Poortere, Jan Kath or Momeni. The combination of unique naturally aged woods, heritage style herringbone floor layouts, all with a gray hue work alongside traditional woven tweed textiles. This will create that cozy, dark romantic yet intriguing design style. Mossy, felted and brushed textures appear on furniture and rugs, crafted by nature.

Fog Lights by Zero Lighting
A trend that addresses the increasing desire for privacy in order to reconnect with ourselves and regain a sense of control. A calm, simple and ordered style that explores concealing, revealing and unexpected transparencies. Anne van Galen BIG-GAME Design Studio
A RESTRAINED PALETTE Discrete pastels are infected with a gray tone. Cosmetic shades are muted and intimate. The darker colors act as grounding accents.

TISE Living | Soft Minimalism Light Containers by Martín Azúa
SIMPLY MODERN This trend’s style is beautifully calm, simple and ordered, a perfect palette to feel at ease in a bedroom or living area. Product designers explore concealing and revealing, often exposing elements that are normally hidden away. This is tactfully expressed in products such as the Eugeni Quitlett chair for Kartell (bottom right) where the beauty of the body’s natural curve is revealed. Similarly, products begin to appear hazy or blurred like the vase below, where the flowers it contains can only be seen through frosted glass. This is a visually quiet trend. An edited-down and simplistic approach is crucial however, it also looks inviting, there is a sense of softness, curvaceaousness and plain smoothness. Surfaces are matte and chalky with blonde woods such as white oak, maple and birch which subtly add to this modern mood. Woods are bare and sanded to enhance the minimalistic discreetness of this style. Studio Oliver Gustav

Recapture Intimicy & Privacy
Whether it is in the workplace or at home we need a ‘refuge’ to enable us to recapture the intimacy and privacy that can be lost even in our own homes; especially because of our continued love of open plan layouts. New furniture designs provide us with that greater privacy; a space to read, sleep and relax, closing yourself off from the world, even if just for a few minutes. Blurred, veiled and muted surface effects link with the quilted and discrete patterning that expresses comfort and contentment. Orwell Sofa by Goula and Figuera

How to transform your room with flooring to create a soft minimalistic look...
Candy Kisses
This trend translates beautifully onto the floor through the use of soothing, tonal colors. The cosmetic shades are discreet and restrained, working perfectly alongside gray hues applied to wall or textiles. Carpets and rugs have a deep pile height creating an engaging and comforting aesthetic that is soft to the touch. A style that is simple, modern but intriguingly inviting.

Marble Mix
Carrara marble is a classic material that appears elegant in almost any form. Work it into your floor by mixing it with gray toned woods that appear sanded and smooth. Pale concrete is the way to go for surface color and texture. A real concrete will give you the best look, however for an affordable alternative you can use concrete-effect tiles suitable for floors and walls.

Gray Matters
Whipped Peach
Domino
Tiles do not have to be uniform, you can create your very own layout using tonal, complimentary colored tiles such as the ‘Tierras’ tiles by Patricia Urquiola for Mutina (above). Although most surfaces in this trend are smooth, texture and pattern is introduced in the form of subtle textured detailing in single colored products. Pattern looks embossed through slight alterations of tonal color. Black Honed slate balances the more neutral tones in this palette. It’s muted ‘cloud-like’ surface appearance reinforces this trend’s veiled aesthetic.
