Hello and welcome to the March issue of Tomorrow’s Retail Floors.
The year seems to flying by and we’re already starting to see the beginnings of spring. As spring signifies a new beginning for nature, many of us are also keen to inject a fresh new look into our own homes. To help your customers make decisions on what to purchase, turn to page 18 to read the Head of Marketing at Posh Flooring’s predictions for key trends to look out for this season.
Also keen to discuss spring-related trends was Quick-Step in its latest trends piece, which you can find in our special feature focus on Living Spaces. In this section, you can also find advice from Best at Flooring’s Liam Walker as he discusses recommending the right flooring for a customer’s living room.
Elsewhere this month, we have a particular focus on Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT). Here, we have a summary on AMA Research’s findings on LVT from their most recent report on the floorcoverings market. We also have trends discussions from experts at Moduleo and Amtico to help you keep on top of the latest designs and interior favourites expected to be hits throughout the year.
As usual, we also bring you the latest news and product developments from the forefront of the industry; as well as our much-loved ‘In Store At’ feature. We also have an extensive preview of London’s coveted design festival, Clerkenwell Design Week. You can find out what and who will be there on page 12.
I hope you enjoy the issue! Registered in England & Wales No: 06786728
