Highgate Office Wood Floor Transformation

 

Something that is much more impactful than we often realise is flooring. In this Highgate Office Project, we discovered wooden flooring under the old carpet. What a find! Restoring old beams brings personality to any space, and will patina over time, adding character. It’s also a more affordable option than carpeting.

For this project, we wanted to create an elegant, classic feel to the room. Follow along below to see how we took the old carpeted space, to this sophisticated deep warm-toned wooden flooring.

The result! Sophisticated, deep brown wooden boards.
