Antique oak herringbone parquet seamlessly unifies a traditional house with a modern extension in large detached home, Crystal Palace SW2

A new herringbone parquet floor was commissioned for the entire ground floor of this Crystal Palace home. The property is a traditional 1930s house with a modern kitchen extension and the herringbone parquet is a perfect solution to bridge both styles. The parquet was made from engineered oak with aged effect antique oak oil.

A simple single row border perfectly compliments the herringbone parquet

To compliment a herringbone parquet floor design we recommend a simple single row border with mitred corners to create an uninterrupted, flowing border. The property has some fantastic features including the pronounced curved bottom step of the staircase. We believe borders should copy the contour of the room perimeter, if the room’s edge is curved the border ought to be curved. We utilised our craftsmanship skills to ensure this level of detail is achieved and maintained throughout the whole project space.

A keen focus on the detail

This was a project focused on details - aged antique oak, uninterrupted single row borders at points curved and hexagonal following the contours of the room, and a seamless symmetrical layout across the whole ground floor. The successful focus on detail made this project special. The customers appreciated our efforts and craftsmanship and were delighted with the finished floor.
