Envique's New Sandblasted Design Pairs Nicely With 2016 Color Palette

 

Dallas, TX – Oct 28, 2015 – Quick-Step has taken design and innovation to new heights with its NEW Envique Collection, recently launched into retail stores nationwide. The Lineage Oak design from the new Envique laminate flooring assortment offers consumers a sandblasted decor that is currently very popular in premium hardwood flooring. Totally on trend with the latest in home design, the color and texture of Envique’s Lineage Oak planks pair nicely with many of the colors that consumers will begin seeing so much of in the home interiors market during the coming year.

One complementary pairing is Envique’s Lineage Oak with the new Pura Vida color palette, a collection of colors recently announced as part of the highly-respected Sherwin-Williams Color Mix 2016 trends prediction. Pura Vida’s colors pull consumers back into a natural palette of materials, textures, and colors satisfying their desire to relax and rebalance the health of mind and body.
 
Lineage Oak - Sandblasted Design
Premium hardwood flooring many times takes its design cues and trends from the furniture industry. A prominent trend in hardwood furnishings at this year’s High Point Furniture Market was the occurrence of beautifully textured hardwood finishes created by sandblasting the wood.
 
“Instead of adding color to highlight the movement in the wood grain, sandblasting approaches highlighting the grain in a more subtle and textural way by introducing depth,” said Oke Nollet, design director for Unilin (Quick-Step’s parent company). “Sandblasting eliminates the softer parts of wood that create the grain, revealing a beautifully textured finish.”
 
“Lineage Oak from Quick-Step’s new Envique Collection accurately captures the visual and tactile experience of an on-site, sandblasted premium hardwood floor,” said Nollet. “Our Lineage Oak features the deep matte surface structure found in a naturally weathered or sandblasted oak, with ultra-realistic color and texture. An additional touch is our use of GenuEdge Technology, allowing the surface design to ‘roll-over’ the edge of the plank for the truly authentic look of natural wood planks. Not only does Lineage Oak look like sandblasted hardwood, it feels like sandblasted hardwood.”
 
Pura Vida Color Palette
The stated goal of Sherwin-Williams annual color forecast is to provide inspiration and trends for design professionals. This year’s announcement of Sherwin-Williams Color Mix 2016 includes the new Pura Vida color palette.
 
According to the Sherwin-Williams team, their new 2016 Pura Vida color palette takes its inspiration from natural elements, such as stone, alabaster and sand, as well as natural fibers, such as cotton and jute. The colors of Pura Vida remind people to be conscientious of their overall wellness, and are vital for creating spaces to unplug. Pura Vida includes honed and sheer tones, marble hues, warm grays, khaki tones, and blushed neutrals.
 
Lineage Oak & Pura Vida
“The combination of a Lineage Oak floor with Pura Vida colors creates a room that is immediately calming, light, airy, soothing, relaxing, inviting, natural, and fresh,” concludes Nollet.
