Furniture & Finish
Ergonomic shapes remind us of nature, so are inherently more visually relaxing. The choice of material can also heighten or soften the sensory experience.
Natural fabrics are always the first choice, synthetics have now been developed to mimic these and wear extremely well for high-traffic environments. In high-use areas, don’t add the stress of damage when you don’t have to.
Where to Start
• Soft Edges
• Organic
• Natural feel
• Stain resistant
Professional Tips
Synthetic carpets are now available in a wide range of natural colours and feel natural with the huge advantage of being bleach-cleanable.
LVT – Luxury Vinyl Tiles are great for heavy traffic use, natural looks are available, easy to clean and extremely hard-wearing.
Fabrics are tested to see how well they will wear by doing a Martindale test, look for a fabric over 30,000 rubs as a minimum, if it’s going to get heavy use the higher the better.
Think of sound impact when choosing furniture along with touch – how will it impact the senses?
