Recently, at a German floor covering show, Amsterdam-based textile designer Ulf Moritz identified three emerging trends in floor coverings for 2012/2013.

1. Primal Nature: Natural materials and nature-inspired design feature in this continuing trend.

Natural authenticity in laminate floor coverings

2. Urban Classic: Timeless designs with elegant, familiar overtones.

Bright accent colors mix with classic blacks, whites, and grays.

3. Fashionable Rainbow: Lively shades reign in this colorful trend.

Mr. H says:  A room should be two things: classy and fabulous-Enjoy!
