Galerija Podova – Contemporary Floors for New Times

It stands that office furniture, details and decorative elements can have a huge impact on the atmosphere in the office, but there`s still a question of what we can do about flooring? How can we use floors to change the perception of a business environment in hybrid work?

“Office” at home

When choosing flooring, we usually go for parquets of laminates. Both types of floors have their advantages. Parquet is a natural, ecological material, made completely of wood, long-lasting and warm. Laminate has been so technologically perfected that it perfectly shows various wood patterns and it is very durable and practical. If we don`t want to change our floors, there is a way to make our working space a distinct unit, with the help of attractive rugs and carpet rolls.

And if we want to completely arrange and adapt our residential space into an office, LVT design tiles are the way to go. There is a wide selection of design options and installation is easy, without much fuss. The best of all is that decorative tiles can be installed over the existing flooring and they are a great option if we want to protect new floors or we don`t have time to completely replace the old ones.

When the weather was nice, we tended to take our laptop outside, to the balcony or a yard, and do some work there. That was a prompt for giving attention to the exterior and to arrange it in a way that makes us feel relaxed both in our free time and during the work day. Ideal solution for this part of our home are ceramic tiles or outdoor carpets, which are perfect for balconies and yards alike. They are weather resistant for many years, are easy to maintain and can be washed under running water.

“Home” at the office

Until recently,furnishing offices and commercial spaces with flooring was done according to the established standards. They had to be resistant to wear and tear, easily maintained, that the damaged parts could be replaced quickly and that they were long-lasting to avoid being changed often. Aesthetics was important but not crucial. What hybrid work brought to the forefront was the need for inspiring and healthy environment, aesthetics and pleasant, more or less home-like atmosphere.

And now we can have both.

First of all, there are carpet tiles (modular carpets). For years, they have been the first choice for many international companies. Modular carpets remind of regular carpets and make us feel that specific home atmosphere no matter where we are. At the same time, thanks to continuous development of technologies now there are carpet tiles that make the environment healthier, because they effectively catch and hold dust particles. Aesthetic ranges are unlimited and by combining different tile patterns
the floor will get the effect of looking different when you stand in a different part of the room. Carpet floor are easily recycled giving new life to other carpet tiles.

Design flooring (LVT) is an ideal choice for office spaces. Design and combination of main attributes of all materials in one are the main reasons for them being a perfect solution for commercial spaces. Resistant like ceramic tiles, easy to maintain like vinyl and simple to install like laminate, design floor tiles can withstand all.

When it comes to floors that have a high resistance to wear and tear, laminate is an excellent choice. Different classes of protection help us choose the right laminate depending on the frequency we expect on the premises. Regarding patterns, the possibilities are limitless and aside from wood design this type of flooring offers other credible natural designs, such as marble or stone.

Rugs can also be a nice accessory to any commercial space. They look attractive and decorative over any type of floor, even over textile flooring. They enhance the feeling of home.

Whatever environment you choose for your hybrid work, there is a wealth of options when it comes to floors. Aside from flooring, you should pay attention to accessories that are necessary for the floors to look nice and last for years. It doesn`t matter that flooring in the office or at home is resistant to wear and tear, we still have to consider how to protect them. Wheels of office chairs can often cause headaches, but we can prevent this from happening with the right protective cover.
