The Historic Reclaimed Hardwood Flooring
As you are probably ready to begin exploring the different hardwood flooring styles, let’s start by demystifying the term “Reclaimed”. To reclaim is to retrieve or recover something that is previously given. In this context it refers to hardwood materials that were used for historic architectural structures, such as; barn houses, buildings and railroads. Reclaimed Hardwood Flooring brings home a rich medley of history and nature into your home.
European Flooring proudly offers reclaimed engineered hardwood flooring from the Chateau Collection by Khayeri Curated Flooring. This collection is exclusively made of French White Oak that is sourced from historic European developments that are up to 300 years old. Reclaimed Hardwood materials are then processed and repurposed to create a rich rustic hardwood flooring that is filled with natural character and an essence of European history.
Rustic Grade Hardwood Flooring
Rustic decor embraces nature-inspired textures, simple and earthy colors, and ultimately an unpretentious, organic warmth. Rustic hardwood flooring complements other rustic design elements such as brick and industrial style metal finishes. You can also choose to contrast the flooring by choosing smooth modern finishes such as marbles and flat slab cabinetry.
The Memories of Versailles line by Khayeri Flooring offers the Chateau Collection which confidently displays natural character of Rustic Grade hardwood flooring, as well as a more refined Select Grade Hardwood Flooring in the Palace Collection.
Modern Style Hardwood Flooring
Modern design style thrives on the minimalistic belief that “less is more”. This concept relates to the overall look and style of the space’s interior design, as well as the hardwood flooring which sets the foundation of the home’s interior design.
Modern Hardwood Flooring favours a clean, slick and smooth hardwood look. The boards are usually hand selected to with little-to-no knots and stained to display almost no colour variation between planks in order to achieve a more uniformed look. The colour palette of modern design leans towards natural and neutral tonalities.
