Bringing Street Art into the Home – The Urban Wallpaper Collection at Urbane Living

The designer Urban wallpaper collection has now launched at Urbane Living.

London, UK, July 25, 2012 — The Urban designer wallpaper collection Urban Wallpaper, recently launched at Urbane Living, allows design-lovers to admire some urban art in the comfort of their own homes.

The collection features portraits, graffiti-style prints, illustrative designs and comic-esque images from top artists and designers such as Javi Gutiérrez, David Fernández, Txema Algualcil, Mariscal, La Casita de Wendy and Txell Miras.

Hand-painted and drawn designs add an authentic artistic flair and there’s a choice of bold shades such as deep reds and greens or more subtle colour palettes to fit with any décor. The papers are easy to maintain too, making them a much more realistic option for any home – just wipe with a damp cloth.

The range will appeal to eco-conscious design fans – each wallpaper in the Urban collection is printed on highly sustainable paper using special inks which allow the paper to be recycled when it is removed from the walls.

Adam Robertson, co-founder of Urbane Living, commented: “We’re proud to be offering wallpaper from such highly respected artists and designers. This collection taps into the interest in artists such as Banksy and successfully transfers urban art to the wallpaper world and the home.”

He added: “These eye-catching designs will prove a talking point in any modern home or business property and are perfect for a feature wall in any room.”

Roll size: Width 0.53m x Length 10m

Price: Starts from £52.00 including VAT

Extra-wide European Walnut Flooring in Stock for The First Time at Urbane Living

Extra-wide European walnut flooring is now available from Urbane Living

London, UK, July 03, 2012 – For the first time, customers have the opportunity to buy extra-wide engineered European walnut flooring from trusted supplier Urbane Living.

European walnut flooring is ever-popular thanks to its distinctive grain patterns and warm colour finish. Meeting growing customer demand for wider planks, Urbane Living can now offer the floorboards in widths of 240 – 500mm and lengths of 2,000 – 4,000mm as required by customers.

Adam Robertson, co-founder of Urbane Living, commented: “The unique point about these boards is that they are available for the first time with incredibly wide widths, up to 500mm wide and 2 to 4m in length.”

He added: “They are manufactured to a very high standard with the same timber on the bottom layer to act as a counter balance layer for added stability.”

Homeowners can rest assured that their floor will last too – European walnut flooring is harder than American walnut flooring, which makes it less susceptible to dents. It’s also highly sought-after for its polished finish. Opting for extra wide walnut flooring provides the additional benefit of allowing users to appreciate the grain of the wood. This varies from piece to piece but can include more natural wood with interesting knots across the surface, or a smoother dark piece of material if preferred.

Wider flooring was identified as a key interiors trend at the Dotomex 2012 exhibition – an international wood flooring trade show which was held in Hanover, Germany earlier this year. The trend for wide-plank wood flooring fits in with the increasing demand for natural, eco-friendly flooring options, which looks set to continue to grow in popularity.

The flooring is sold in 1m2 units and is priced at £140.68 ex. VAT ( £168.82 inc. VAT)

On-Trend Grey Engineered Oak Sienna Wood Flooring now in stock at Urbane Living

The new wood flooring has just landed in stock but demand is already high. Adam Robertson said: “This is set to become one of our bestsellers in 2012.”

London, UK, June 12, 2012 — The latest stock just in at Urbane Living gives homeowners the chance to bring their home up to date with grey flooring, a look that is very much in vogue at the moment.

Grey flooring was recently described by Flooring Focus magazine as “the hottest colour trend in interior design”. The new Engineered Oak Sienna wood flooring, which has just arrived at Urbane Living, is fumed to give the timber a warm base colour and then finished with a grey-tinted pigment to give a subtle but distinctive hue. The wood is then sealed with wax oil.

The shade is ideal for modern homes and elegant enough to work well with both light and dark furniture.

Adam Robertson, co-founder of Urbane Living, commented: “Grey floors are currently popular; the hint of grey in the Oak Sienna creates a sense of calmness.”

With a super-wide board of 220mm, the floor comes with a 6mm oak wear layer on 14mm birch ply, offering a long-lasting plank with excellent stability.

The Engineered Oak Sienna wood flooring is a durable option and thanks to the hard-wearing finish it’s suitable for both homes and commercial properties, even in high-traffic areas. Engineered wood flooring, such as this product, is also ideal for areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, where there may be humidity or moisture which could warp or damage solid wood flooring.

The flooring is made from European white oak and as part of Urbane Living’s environmental policy it comes with FSC accreditation and an FSC Chain of Custody Certificate.

The new wood flooring has just landed in stock but demand is already high. Adam Robertson said: “This is set to become one of our bestsellers in 2012.”

Price £80.87 m2 plus VAT or £97.04 inc. VAT
