timberfloors
r
here s an inviting
warmth to a wooden
floor that makes
it a sought-after feature
in homes, whether it’s
dark and sexy or light and
airy. Homes can benefit
from the character of the
timber grains and knots,
and you can rest assured
in the knowledge that
solid timber floors only
get better with age. For an
instant lived-in feel, look
to alternatives such as
modern engineered and
floating floors that emulate
the look of old planks. ►
1. A bright and breezy
entrance way
is made
all the more inviting
with these original light,
broad floorboards.
2. There’s something
truly wonderful
about
a crowded house. It
suggests interesting,
involved and engaging
people. You’re all of
the above if you love
to gather, keep, display,
mix and marry styles.
Needless to say, timber
flooring underpins the
vibrance of this look
perfectly, highlighting
rather than competing
with the marvellous
collection sitting on it.
3. A black and white
colour scheme is
undeniably the most
dramatic. But if you
find it a touch too
severe, soften the look
by laying dark timber
underfoot. In fact,
this choice will make
your look even
more contemporary
because it’s bold and
unexpected - stunning!
