Ways to Spice Up Your Flooring

The world of interior design is constantly evolving. But when it comes to flooring, it’s easy gravitate towards familiar and (dare we say) boring options. We know it can be hard to feel inspired and find unique ways to approach floors. Practicality is your priority — but what’s beneath your feet can make all the difference in helping your space stand out. Here are a few things you can do to spice things up when it’s time to specify your flooring materials.

Terrazzo Revival

Terrazzo flooring has definitely made a comeback in recent years, and it’s not going anywhere in 2025. This composite material, made from chips of marble, quartz, granite, or glass, is both durable and visually striking. Its playful speckled appearance adds extra personality to modern and eclectic interiors. Because there are so many opportunities to customise the colour and pattern, you’ll always end up with something unique.

Statement Rugs

Rugs are no longer just an afterthought; they’re becoming the centrepiece of interior spaces. Loud patterns, bold colours, and unique textures are a trend to watch. We love how a rug introduces textural contrast in hypermodern spaces, especially when layered over concrete flooring.

Microcement

Since we specialise in microcement, we can’t miss an opportunity to sing its praises. The seamless finish of microcement is not only beautiful to look at — but has so many practical benefits too. Highly versatile, it can be applied over existing floor materials both internally and externally, reducing the need for demolition in a renovation. How’s that for innovative?

Natural Splitstone

Split stone is a more exciting approach to classic paving. This type of flooring features stones that are split into irregular shapes that reveal their raw, textured finish. Each installation is entirely unique, a perfect look in spaces that need an organic, earthy element.

Quartz Stones

Ever heard of Quartz Carpet? It’s a seamless floor coating made from natural quartz stones. The result is extremely durable and visually dynamic, dappled with stones in all different colours — and even some sparkle, if you want. Quartz Carpet has become a preferred alternative over the permeable concrete and exposed aggregate often used in garages, driveways, and commercial areas.

Bold Carpet

This list is full of suggestions for avoiding neutral floors that fade into the background. Our final addition is colourful carpet. In 2025, dull grey and sad beige carpets are being swapped for actual colours — especially rich jewel tones.
