Retail interior surface trends from Egger UK

Press release from: EGGER (UK) Limited

Egger, one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of laminate and decorative panels, advise key trends for retail interiors will follow two distinct, individual themes; firstly “elegant and high value” and secondly “cool and fresh”.

Klaus Monhoff, Egger’s global Product Manager for decorative products explains his thoughts behind these themes.

The ‘elegant and high value’ trend will feature striped, linear wood effects such as Oak, but also exotic woods such as Teak, Zebrano and Macassar. These strong woods need to be complemented with a palette of Uni colours ranging from crisp whites and warm creams to beiges and cappuccinos. This balance will help to determine the luxurious and sensuous feel to the interior. “Walnut is emerging as a key wood species along with cherry. However, what is important with cherry is that it is linear in design and that the colour tone is brown, like walnut, rather than the red or orange tones often associated with cherry. Our H1615 Romana Cherry is perfect for this theme. In addition we see new sophisticated plain colours such as Aubergine and rusty red being used in combination with both straight grain and more natural character woods”.

The ‘cool and fresh’ theme responds to the need for vibrancy and energy within store interiors. This style will embrace the use of colour such as striking blues and greens. These will be united and work in harmony with light, natural woodgrains such as birches, maples and pearwoods.

The tactile and tangible features of the surface material such as the feel and texture will become evermore crucial, enabling designers to specify materials, such as laminate, Melamine Faced Chipboard and MDF, to reproduce real timber and veneer, at a fraction of the cost.

Store interiors will also continue to adopt the industrial feel with finishes like concrete-effect laminate and combinations with glass and metal. The important development we see with metallic effects though is that we see that the colour tone of the metals will become warmer, for instance moving from the coolness of Aluminium to the warmth of a steel, bronze or gold.
