The Hoppers wanted to recreate the modern, earthy aesthetic they’d fallen in love with while travelling in Europe. After comparing numerous samples, they settled on the Painswick Harbour Oak, a beautiful real wood floor that perfectly complements their Mediterranean-inspired décor.
Why did you choose Luxury Flooring?
From ordering the samples to getting quotes, the services at Luxury Flooring were easy and efficient. We went back and forth a few times and the team was really accommodating.
What’s most important to you when designing your room?
When opening the door to come home or spend a lazy weekend indoors, our space needs to reflect who we are as people and what we feel most comfortable in. Surrounding ourselves with design and interiors that make us feel ‘at home’ is important too.
What’s your story?
This is the second property we’ve renovated but the first one we’ve actually lived in. We thought long and hard about how we wanted to feel when in our home. We got thinking about all the places we’ve been and how they made us feel in the moment. That’s what we wanted to recreate in our home – inspiration, relaxation, calm.
What does your home situation look like?
For now, it’s just the two of us. We’re recently engaged and once we tackle the outside this spring, we’ll be turning our attention to the next project – our wedding.
What qualities were you looking for in your new flooring?
First and foremost was durability, wear layer and something that could sit on top of underfloor heating, so naturally we were hunting out an engineered floor with a beautiful grain.
What advice would you give to someone looking to transform their floor?
Think about where you want to run your floor and the type of foot traffic it’s going to take. Then think about what the overall look and feel will be. After that it’s the fun stuff, ordering samples to play with!
Did any trends inspire your interior choices?
Yes, we travel a lot and have stayed in certain types of hotels which generally follow the same theme found all over the Greek Islands, Ibiza and the Adriatic Coast – modern, earthy, neutral. We love how we feel when we’re in those places and ultimately wanted to bring that home.
How has your new floor improved your home?
It’s been the best decision. We installed it through the entire downstairs and landing, and it perfectly created the ambience and look we were after. I couldn’t imagine anything else in our home. Not to mention it’s easy to keep clean and feels so luxurious underfoot.
How did you decide on the colours and styles?
We were looking for herringbone in a natural looking oak to tie in with the other oak features in the house. Our design throughout has been earthy and minimalist, and we wanted the craft and materials to do the talking.
