Product Focus: Karndean's Kaleidoscope Range at Hamilton Flooring
Flooring Inspiration for 2023
At Hamilton Flooring we only work with the most trusted names in the industry and one of those names is of course…Karndean! Known for their incredible range of luxury vinyl tile in an enormous variety of styles and designs, Karndean is one of our most popular brands amongst our clients and customers.
One range that has become more and more popular in the last year or two is the brilliant Kaleidoscope range. Kaleidoscope is described by Karndean as ‘help[ing] you achieve 3D impact, movement and visual contrast, allowing shapes and patterns to work in both small and large spaces alike. Each geometric floor has been cleverly cut from [our] authentic wood and stone designs’.
The Kaleidoscope range features a wide array of hues, patterns and shapes - some more out-there than others! They fit with both heritage and maximalist interior design trends and are expressionist and often statement flooring options. This doesn’t mean that kaleidoscope designs are always bold and brave - sometimes they are lightly decorative, highlighting a specific zone or area when teamed with other flooring options. With 16 products to choose from in the Karndean Designflooring kaleidoscope range there are plenty of options to suit most tastes.
Designs in the range include chevrons which are set to be one of the biggest trends of 2023 representing a modern and sleek take on herringbone flooring. The range also includes cubes, hexagons (another leading trend for 2023 and onwards), woven designs and interesting patterns replicating intricate tiling.
The Kaleidoscope collection is a culmination of other established designs from the wood and stone effect luxury vinyl tile. The Kaleidoscope floors are individually cut from other collections including the ever popular Art Select, Da Vinci, Van Gogh, Opus and Knight Tile ranges.
These floors are versatile and work as complete flooring solutions as well as statement features, rug effects and borders. Kaleidoscope is influenced by growing trends as well as contemporary takes on classic looks. The woven designs are a great example of this as basket weave has become an increasingly popular trend for hallways and dining rooms though this modern take is incredibly traditional and brings to mind country houses and estates of the past.
Chic and sophisticated is the order of the day with extra helpings of fun and expressionism. Kaleidoscope flooring by Karndean not only looks the part, it has all the characteristics of Karndean which make it one of the most often chosen luxury vinyl tile flooring solutions.
Karndean flooring is a type of vinyl flooring consisting of five layers - two PVC backing layers, one high definition photographic layer, a clear PVC embossed layer and a polyurethane (PU) protective coating on top. They tend to have a slightly glossy finish but not high shine and are easy-to-maintain, hardwearing and remain attractive for many years (35 year warranty as standard). Karndean is an excellent choice for both the home or business, with offices, leisure facilities, the hospitality industries, hotels - you name it- taking advantage of the brilliant ranges at Karndean.
Lets take a closer look at the Kaleidoscope Range.
