Bolon
Bolon has added four new colours to its Elements range. Drawing inspiration from nature, the range aims to highlight natural tones inspired by tactile materials such as stone, wood, and textiles. Lisa Jarhult, product developer at Bolon, says: ‘We have enhanced the tactile and textile characteristics in the new Elements collection, deepening the colours and making them comforting and pleasant. It’s a subtle blend of hues, neutral colours and chromatic accents. Te collection ranges from rich, rustic, earthy tones to lighter, crisp and cool colours. Tey blend into the environment, almost as if they were taken directly from nature.’

An imaginative concept for a carpet tile design, by a textile design student and Milliken Design and Clerkenwell showroom intern, was made possible by Milliken’s patented colour and patterning Millitron technology. Milliken has a longstanding relationship with the textile degree programme at Loughborough University, having collaborated on a competition to design carpet tile concepts for six years running. During 2023 and 2024, Loughborough textile design student Emily Hayes worked as an intern, based in Milliken’s Clerkenwell Showroom. For her placement project, Hayes was challenged to create a range of carpet tiles that would demonstrate the pattern and colour capabilities of Milliken’s Millitron patterning technology. Te brief was to reflect the architecture, artwork and culture of the Clerkenwell area. Hayes says: ‘I began the project by exploring the area and taking photographs of anything that stood out to me. Something that did capture my attention was the Dorothy Annan murals, which I stumbled across whilst I was incredibly lost in the Barbican. Te murals were a celebration of new technology and optimism for the future in Britain. My designs explore this connection between the visual language of the murals and the Clerkenwell landscape.”
Parador
Parador has announced over 140 additions to its engineered wood, vinyl, laminate and eco-friendly Modular ONE ranges. Te 2024 collection also sees the Modular ONE range expand to include 33 new styles, featuring a parquet selection as well as white, marble-look tiles with veining running throughout.

Te colour palette consists of a bold red, yellow and green, combined with softer colours – pink and peach – which give the brights space to breathe. Millitron is a high- resolution digital patterning technology developed by Milliken’s in-house R&D team. It enables complex pattern effects and colour combinations.
Hayes says of her time as an intern at Milliken: ‘Since beginning my placement year at Milliken in July of 2023, I have been given the opportunity to expand my creativity in a completely new way. I have never explored carpet tiles as an outcome before, so this project has been a big leap out of my comfort zone, and I have become quite passionate about flooring in the process.
‘I have also thoroughly enjoyed working in the London showroom as it has given me a chance to see all sides of the business and a better understanding of the journey from manufacturing of the product to sales. Working at Milliken has given me a sense of direction. It has affirmed my love for textile design and my interest in pursuing a career in interiors.’
