Form and Function- Bayview One by Darren James Interiors

Timber floors, also from the Urban Instinct Oak range were chosen for other areas of the home and again, the focus was on natural yet resilient materials.

“As the palette was fairly light and bright, we knew we wanted a natural oak finish to warm things up.?We love grain and character when it comes to timber, so we chose one that had a beautiful grain structure and textured feel. We wanted a wide board so we opted for a 220mm wide engineered oak timber floor. For a family of 5 including 3 children, this product is perfect. Easy to keep clean, very little maintenance. The wire brush finish works for our family as it will wear and age well. It has certainly lifted the quality level of our home.”

“Like anything, if you want a professional result, it not only comes down to the product itself. Of equal importance is the preparation and quality of installation.?We use Flooring Xtra not only for their vast product range and great service – but also for their professional installation team and attention to detail.”

The flow from room to room is seamless. The palette is contemporary and consistent. Consideration has been given to every small element and moment. The home is a showcase of their knowledge, their ideas and their creative capabilities. Bayview One is a place that is modern but warm, beautiful yet inviting and a place their family will love for years to come.

Are timber floors high maintenance?

Timber floors sit higher on the maintenance scale in the hard flooring world. But while laminate flooring, vinyl and hybrid flooring might require less maintenance, all flooring requires some level of care to keep it looking like new for longer. The look and feel of real timber is also aspirational, authentic and full of genuine character which can last for years if cared for. It also has the ability to be repaired in many cases, which is why we see beautiful old homes with original (restored, often) flooring.
