Quick-Step's NEW Summer Pine Complements The Timeless Trend Of Neutral Colors
Dallas, TX – Nov 18, 2015 – The spectrum of subtle, neutral tones in home design is increasing in popularity with trend-savvy homeowners. This classic and chic style pairs perfectly with the light, neutral tones of Quick-Step’s Summer Pine Planks from the NEW Envique laminate flooring collection, recently launched into retail stores nationwide.
 
“There is nothing more timeless than layers and layers of neutrals,” says Erinn Valencich, Los Angeles-based celebrity designer, style expert, and Quick-Step’s designer partner. “It’s a classic look that truly never goes out of style.”
 
“The growing appeal of using a neutral palette also lends itself to so many design styles,” says Valencich. “Whether you prefer country chic, sleek and modern, or something in between, the flexibility of colors like soft taupe, creamy white, honey blonde, or sandy beige provides the perfect base for building a room design.
 
Working With A Neutral Palette
A beautifully-styled neutral room is a really easy look to create. Here are Valencich’s helpful tips for designing with a neutral palette:
 
• Variety is the spice … mix neutral tones such as greys, beiges, creams, browns, and light pastels
• Think deeply … consider using various shades of neutrals – pair a light cream or beige with a dark charcoal or deep chocolate
• Color pops … brighten up the room with bold splashes of color
• Touchy, feely … use patterns and textures to create depth
 
Summer Pine – Timeless Look
“The light, creamy hues and detailed textures of Summer Pine from Quick-Step’s Envique Collection are a great complement to a neutral room,” says Valencich. “Summer Pine makes a room feel brighter and more spacious, while providing an earthy, natural look. The long, wide planks are also on-trend with the most popular looks in premium, high-end hardwood flooring.”
 
“The design and surface textures of Summer Pine follow the look of natural wood in every way, complete with characteristic knots, graining, and color variation for a timeless look that really helps set the foundation for a neutral room,” says Valencich.
