Contemporary Hardwood Flooring
If you are looking for ideas for a contemporary property, such as an eco-friendly house, or a city style open plan apartment there are so many hardwood flooring types to add the wow factor to your home.
It may be that you have specific flooring requirements, such as flooring for a spiral staircase that sweeps down to an open plan living area and want the same hardwood flooring for both. Or it may be that you have a living room with a sliding glass wall to the garden that can be pushed back back to bring the outside in and want contemporary hardwood flooring to reflect that.
One of the most popular hardwood flooring choices for a contemporary home is beech, which gives a light and airy feel to a modern interior. However, dark wood flooring is also very much on trend right now, with exotic woods such as teak or wenge giving homes a glamorous and expensive feel.
Amongst our portfolio of work includes restoration work that we carried out to flooring of an apartment in a converted hospital in Repton Park, Essex. The hospital was built in the 1880’s and the original pitch pine floorboards were given a new lease of life by staining them black and finishing with Osmo hardwax oil.
Although wood is both a natural and renewable source, there is also an increasing demand for eco-friendly flooring for contemporary homes.
The most popular types of eco-friendly flooring is reclaimed or recycled wood and this gives a rustic feel to an interior and works well in both contemporary or traditional homes. We supply and install reclaimed pine floorboards and these can be stained to a colour to suit your interior.

Traditional Hardwood Flooring
Oak wood flooring is a popular choice for a traditional home as there are so many different types and colours to match a traditional interior. One example of oak flooring in a traditional property is a beautiful hardwood floor we completed for a property in Hampstead, London.
We installed European Oak Quarter Sawn Palladio Parquet in a herringbone design with a wenge border. The floor was laid to the stairs and living area of the property and finished in a satin lacquer - and you can see our outstanding results in the case studies section of our website!
Herringbone parquet and stripped flooring are both popular options for traditional hardwood flooring. However, if you don’t want to replace your existing floor boards, another alternative is to repair or refurbish your existing flooring.
Naturally Wood are experts in the repair, restoration and sanding of hardwood flooring and among our portfolio is a restoration project we were involved in at the world famous Abbey Road Studios in London. We restored the original wood block flooring to two studios at Abbey Road and the floor was finished with Osmo hardwax oil.
