The parquet you will see and be able to choose for your spaces in 2024 aligns with trends that elsewhere characterize fashion or cosmetics and perhaps lifestyles in general.
There is a desire for simplicity and serenity, and respect for the environment increasingly guides your and our choices in any field: wooden floors are no exception. In fact, one could say that sustainability is their middle name.
Wooden Flooring, an Eco-Friendly Choice
On several occasions, we have shown you how parquet is an exceptionally recyclable covering, provided it is disposed of correctly at the end of its life, and how once the boards are dismantled, they can be repurposed for multiple uses, original and – why not? – unexpected. They transform into shelves or shabby-chic coverings for existing furniture or even into country and minimal tables for enjoying a drink alone or with friends. If the goal is to reduce impacts on the ecosystem, the Woodco range can guarantee it, as the materials the company uses come from certified forests for responsible management.
The Subtle Charm of Light-Colored Parquet
A current topic that goes hand in hand with ecology is energy saving, and even in this regard, parquet does not disappoint, as we have seen in the past that wood excels for its thermal insulation properties, as well as sound absorption, and effectively combats humidity. Thus, energy efficiency is ensured.
Warmth is, however, also a matter of feeling, and a dark wood floor with classic tones perfectly interprets and conveys the sensation of warmth. The 2024 interior furnishings will thrive on contrasts, between bright walls and more austere parquet and vice versa, or with soft colorations. Following what we have already hinted at in recent months, varieties in gray and dove, ivory, beige, cream, and off-white are therefore destined to establish themselves and be appreciated.
Parquet Dares with Design
Speaking of color contrasts, while many predict an increase in the popularity of bleached boards, on the other hand, the classic brown, in its various shades, certainly does not intend to step aside. Woodco’s palette is particularly rich, ranging from the golden yellow-brown of Dream and Signature oak to the more pronounced shades of Dream, Signature walnut, or even teak. Ash allows for a bit more daring, with tones ranging from pink to ochre to golden brown with greenish veins. The desire for simplicity does not imply giving up on creativity, and thus among the styles of 2024, the herringbone pattern, whether French, Italian, or Hungarian stands out.
