Betta Living Reports Hot New Trend in UK Kitchens
Sumptuous and striking wood grain finishes have become a major fashion for UK kitchens, overtaking plain coloured door finishes, according to a leading national retailer, who has reported that its new plum wood-effect kitchen – launched just two months ago – has already become its best seller.
Â
Betta Living, which supplies thousands of homes throughout the UK with fitted kitchens and bedrooms every year, is reporting record sales of its new Phoenix kitchen in a plum wood-grain finish.
The trend indicates that UK homeowners are turning towards a more luxurious look for the kitchen, and moving away from the minimalist white kitchen that has dominated sales for so long.
Designer Jamie Dean, from Betta Living, said: “There’s been a massive resurgence for dark wood-effect finishes for the kitchen in recent months, and the success of the new Phoenix range in plum, introduced to cater for this trend, has been astounding.
Â
“I think its popularity is down to the fact that it works as well in contemporary homes as it does in more traditional styled houses. And it is probably one of the most adaptable ranges around, working well with white and cream worktops, floors and cabinet doors, but equally looks amazing with other rich colours, like aubergine and black.â€Â  Â

Timeless Quality In A Timeless Setting.
This season Gant home went to Italy for inspiration.
“This latest collection consists, as usual, of two complementary yet different parts. The Gant Home City line is more sophisticated with a clean almost masculine touch, whereas the Gant Home Country line focuses more on down-to-earth patterns, checks and stripes in classic Gant style.
 Between them it should be quite easy to mix and match for every and any room in the house,†says Annette Lundh, designer for Gant Home.

Forbo Flooring Launches Two New Collections
Forbo Flooring, best known for the popular floorings Marmoleum, Novilon and Nairn Cushionflor, is introducing its two latest collections this summer; Enduro and Flotex.
Enduro featured here, is a completely new range of luxury vinyl tiles available in wood and stone effects in fifteen stunning natural shades. The collection ranges from classic designs providing a neutral blank canvas, to the latest up to the minute interior design:
A distinctive look from the collection is Wenge, which recreates the look and feel of the dark tropical timber native to the Republic of Congo, now a protected species. Forbo’s realistic wood-effect flooring allows homeowners to get an ultra chic look along with a clear conscience.
Other stunning natural wood effect designs include white washed oak, weathered pine, rich warm cherry and golden oak. Completing the collection are four stone effects; shimmering white slate, smooth black slate and industrial look concretes.
An optional peel and stick laying process means no nails, power tools or glue are needed. As well as being easy to fit, Enduro is also ideal for first time DIY-ers.
Just peel off the backing and place down on the floor; if you’re not happy, it can easily be peeled off and re-laid and best of all, after 30 minutes your floor should be ready to walk on!
This cost effective collection is perfect for those looking for designer style without a hefty price tag. Prices start from £14.99 per m².
The existing Flotex collection has been completely revamped, to reflect modern living in the twenty-tens:
