Spring comes in like a lamb with rugs and tiles in dreamy neutral palettes, understated, subtle patterns and tactile, textural materials.

One of BoConcept’s most popular rugs with designers, the gold Katla (from $1,799) seems to mimic a sunlit polished-stone riverbed. boconcept.com
Burritt Bros’ in-house line of designer rugs now includes a collection inspired by photographer Beth Hall’s dreamy representations of the West Coast (from $132 per square foot). burrittfloors.com
A new hard-surface flooring option, woven vinyl ($10 per square foot) has the soft look of carpet and the fuss-free durability of wood. bannercarpets.ca
With half the weight and twice the breaking strength of exterior concrete tiles, these new Landstone 2-centimetre-thick porcelain tiles (from $15 per square foot) transition easily from indoors to out. amestile.com
“My go-to at the moment is natural oak flooring. I lovethe warmth and lightness of the wood. I usually like to layer it with a traditional Persian rug that consists of earth and gold tones. This adds coziness and dimension to any room.” —Majida Boga Devani, Calgary-based designer and principal of Building Bloc Design.
Natural Envision Hardwood white oak (from $5 per square foot) and this Himgiri II rug ($6,850) may just be the perfect pairing. jordans.ca
