Jo and Ashley have been renovating their 18th century cottage room-by-room and most recently on the list was their daughter’s art room. Having loved the light herringbone floor in their previous property, they wanted to recreate the look and our charming Painswick Chartreux Engineered Oak ticked all their boxes.
Floor used in this project:

Why did you choose Luxury Flooring?
We were very impressed with the quality of the sample provided by Luxury Flooring and the texture, matte appearance and tone were exactly what we were looking for, with a reasonable price tag.
What was most important to you when designing your room?
The room is essentially our daughter’s art room, so a practical floor was needed - being easy to clean and wipe paint off was imperative.
What's your story?
The inspiration for the room was to have traditional panelled walls and a light herringbone design floor to complement. This was something we had in our previous home that we wanted to continue.
Fortunately, Luxury Flooring’s website enables you to visualise the floor laid in the room before you purchase, so that was ideal for us.
What does your home situation look like?
We are a family of five, my husband and I and our three daughters along with Aubrey and Rodney, our cocker spaniels. We are approaching three years in our 18th century cottage and have been renovating one room at a time.
What qualities were you looking for in your new flooring?
The right tone of oak and the finish needed to appear hard-wearing and be easy to clean and maintain.
What advice would you give to someone looking to transform their floor?
I would always consider ‘wear and tear’ for high-traffic areas. Look for flooring which is easy to clean, scratch-proof and that will age well over the coming years.
