Design Inspiration:
Enhance your floor design by incorporating Karndean Design Strips between planks. DS10 Chalk beautifully complements the white liming, while DS12 Concrete adds tonal continuity. For dramatic definition, try DS22 Graphite to create bold geometric patterns or contemporary borders. The icy blue-grey palette pairs confidently with cool greys, crisp whites, soft blues, and metallic accents. Create a Scandinavian sanctuary with natural light and minimal furnishings, embrace industrial chic with exposed materials and bold contrasts, or achieve modern sophistication with clean lines and quality materials. The dark neutral base provides the perfect foundation for both monochrome schemes and vibrant accent colours.
