Prestige Property
Summertime – and the living is easy
Living so close to the sea means that a holiday
feeling influences a lot of aspects of everyday
life for Islanders – from food and entertainment,
to seaside-inspired clothing and interiors.
On the home front, we’ve
seen a major shift away from
traditional floor coverings
such as carpets, and a move
towards more practical and
stylish wood flooring. After
all, sand and carpets are
never a great combination
– particularly if children and
pets are thrown into the mix!
More and more homes and
holiday cottages are being
given flooring makeovers
with beachy-themed interiors
featuring stripped pine for a
warm rustic feel, or white or
grey finished boards for a cooler
and classier coastal look.
One specialist company that
has masterminded many of
these makeovers is Newport-
based Goldman Harrison, which
offers a whole range of solid
and engineered plank flooring,
parquet blocks and panels, as
well as high quality laminates.
The company, which
frequently works together with
interior designers, can offer
professional installation or a
supply-only service, as well
as sanding, re-finishing and
repairs on existing floors.
A quality floor is undoubtedly
an investment – in fact, probably
the largest piece of ‘furniture’
most people will ever buy – so it
makes sense to talk to an expert.
You can find Goldman Harrison at
Unit 2, 46 Dodnor Lane, Newport,
PO30 5XA. Tel: 01983 556800.
