What a year it’s been. Suffice to say, when we entered the big 2020, little did we know, we’d be in for a surprise. COVID-19 has altered the very lives we lead. And, as we approach the end of – what’s been for many – a disastrous year, there’s much to look back on. Not only that, but there’s also a never-ending list of considerations that we need to bear in mind for 2021. Although there is welcome news of a vaccine on the horizon, implementation is a waiting game, and, currently, there’s no hard evidence of availability. So, for the time being, we’ll be sticking to our social distancing guidance and listening intently for future lockdown information.

All these newfound guidelines and Government advice have not only stirred our day-to-day lives, but they have also had a profound impact on the way we use and, ultimately, design buildings. This month, we’ve explored how the coronavirus pandemic has transformed the commercial market and look into the future of the sector. In our Expose article, Paragon Carpet Tiles’ Managing Director, David Rhodes, shares his predictions for the year ahead, with an exploration into the most significant commercial flooring trends for 2021.

On another note, this month we are announcing a short hiatus for Inex magazine’s publishing. We will be temporarily pausing the publication until further notice, with re-publishing information disclosed in due course.

Finally, on behalf of Inex magazine’s publishing house, Cross Platform Media, I’d like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a prosperous and happy New Year!
