Okay, maybe not 50 shades of gray, but a few is what Urban Floor is looking at for our Urban Lifestyle collection. It seems that designers and consumers are looking for wood floors in shades of gray for residential and commercial use. And how can we ignore the trends? We aren’t. We have started the research and design phase of adding gray shades to our wood collections to make sure our clients find what they need and want.
We have been reviewing feedback from our dealers, designers and in-field representatives to make sure we find the shades that are right for our clients- popular grays and perhaps even some that inspire new ideas and trends. We do have a gray in our Welcome Home Collection in Birch Ash Bark but we feel our clients need more choices when it comes to price, smooth, handscraped and wear layer thickness.
Staying on top of trends is important to Urban Floor, but so is traditional and classic design. As we add style to our collections, you will not have to worry about losing the look that has always worked. We strive to keep our clients satisfied and well-acquainted with our products.
