High fashion floors
All the interior décor magazines this season
reflect the big trend for traditional, earthy
themes and living spaces that provide a
comforting retreat from the outside world.
But among all the focus on metallics and
rich-coloured textures and layers, there’s one
must-have feature that consistently shines
through the photo shoots – and that’s the
wooden floor.
In fact, the warm tones in wooden flooring
provide a beautiful complement to gold,
brass and bronze finishes, and contrast
elegantly with silver and chrome.
When it comes to those rich textured
and layered looks, a classic parquet floor
provides the perfect foundation.
Other interior trends include ‘natural
influence’ – where rustic oak or pine flooring
is the obvious choice – while white oiled
floorboards give a look of understated
elegance that reflects the ongoing influence
of all things “Scandi”.
With such a shift to solid floors, it’s little
surprise that specialist Island company
Goldman Harrison Wood Floors is in such
demand. The Newport-based company
that’s been going since 1999, offers a
whole range of solid and engineered plank
flooring, parquet blocks and panels, as
well as high quality laminate, and electric
underfloor heating.
The company, which also works closely with
interior designers, can offer professional
installation or supply only, as well as sanding
and re-finishing and repairs.
