Karndean Designflooring is introducing a new Knight Tile collection

Karndean Designflooring is expanding its Knight Tile range with a collection of contemporary wood and stone designs, including herringbone.

With a refreshed and updated choice of calm, nurturing designs, the new collection offers the flexibility to create unique interiors that express personality. The range presents 10 new wood and 11 new stone designs, as well as six wood and two stone herringbone designs, with options available in gluedown and rigid core formats. In addition, the collection introduces a rigid core format to 10 bestselling existing designs.

From the cool greys of Glacial Marble and Grey Studio Oak to the neutral tones of Dutch Limed Oak and the reclaimed rustic charm of Washed Character Oak, the new collection brings together the very best features of natural materials and the practical benefits of LVT flooring in a convenient choice of formats.

Whether using a single design for a barely there streamlined look, or combining full-sized and herringbone planks for a bespoke style, the subtle features of the designs will bring a comfortable elegance to any interior.

‘The Knight Tile range is one of our most popular and we are delighted to present this updated and completely refreshed collection, designed to meet the changing needs of today’s home decorators with a choice of contemporary designs and convenient fitting options,’ says Stella Coyle, Karndean Designflooring retail sales manager.

‘Expanding our mid and light-toned wood and stone designs, this collection has been designed to complement the latest colour trends, from monochrome and neutrals to bold, bright palettes. Knight Tile offers a flexible mix of gluedown and rigid core formats in both full-sized planks (36in x 6in) or tiles (12in x 18in) as well as a modern herringbone size (18in x 3in), and is sure to find favour with home decorators looking to create stylish interiors with a sense of flow over a range of different subfloor conditions, including uneven or drying floors or where sound transmission from rooms above is a consideration.

“The benefit of having the same designs in a rigid core format means

independent retail partners can install a floor in less time, with the ability to fit over uneven subfloors or existing floors.

‘Flexibility is key when it comes to selecting a floor that will not only create a streamlined room-to-room look or an individual bespoke style but also be able to cope with demanding situations. This new collection offers the option to choose a single design in a combination of full-sized and herringbone tiles, with options in both gluedown and rigid core formats, to create a clean, sophisticated look throughout the home, even over challenging subfloor conditions.

‘This new Knight Tile collection offers retailers the ability to offer customers the modern look they desire as well as cost-effective installation, and to efficiently utilise the skills of their fitters,’ Coyle adds.

All Karndean designs are durable, waterproof and compatible with underfloor heating, as well as low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and phthalate free. Visit: www.karndean.com

Jubilee celebrations

Hypnos has introduced a special model to mark the Queen’s reign

With a history dating back more than 100 years, Hypnos, the fifth-generation, family-run bed manufacturer is no stranger to handcrafting bespoke luxury beds and mattresses. It has made them for some of the finest homes, hotels and palaces across the world and has proudly held a Royal Warrant since 1929, thanks to the quality, craftsmanship and ethical production behind its beds.

Amid the celebrations of the Queen’s 70-year reign, Hypnos has launched a very special mattress in Her Majesty’s honour: the Platinum Jubilee Mattress. The mattress, only available during this special period, has been handcrafted with the highest quality, responsibly sourced, fully traceable fillings, including 100% pure British wool from Red Tractor assured farms, and natural latex.

‘I am incredibly proud of the longstanding connection between the Royals and the Keen family. The first Keen Royal Warrant was awarded by George V to Sydney Keen, my great- grandfather, and the Queen and the Queen Mother bestowed my grandfather with his first warrants in 1955,’ says James Keen, Hypnos ceo.

‘Almost 70 years later I’m thrilled to still hold a Royal Warrant for Hypnos – it’s truly an honour and means a great deal to me and my family. Our Royal Warrant means we’re recognised for using the very best materials and that we adhere

It’s a mark of recognition for the quality of our beds and mattresses, but more than that, it’s a sign of trust for our customers, who know that when they buy a Hypnos product it will be the very best quality.’

Hypnos is proud to be the only bed maker to actively supply all Royal residences, including Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, St James’ Palace, Balmoral Castle, Sandringham House, The Palace of Holyroodhouse and Kensington Palace. Hypnos also supports the royal households with re-upholstery projects and is currently helping to renovate and restore furniture as part of the reservicing of Buckingham Palace, whilst providing direct support to the Royal Collection conservation workshops, as well as its apprenticeship programme.

Hypnos has been awarded other royal honours: in 2020 it received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise for Sustainable Development for its sector-leading sustainability credentials. Hypnos is also proud to support the Terra Carta initiative set up by Prince Charles, a charter that puts sustainability at the heart of the private sector. Visit: www.hypnosbeds.com
