    gorgeous FLOORING

    Flooring is one of the most important elements in your home. The colours, textures and feel of the floor will impact the mood and personality of a room, whether that’s intimate and cosy, vibrant and evocative, or low key and sombre.

    Flooring is tactile; unlike some other elements, you connect with it because you touch it every time you enter a room. Flooring also makes a statement in design but there are other factors to consider, such as ongoing maintenance and associated costs, durability, wear and texture. Some flooring can also be quieter than others; kids and pets can create noise, and some flooring is better at absorbing sound.
