Dimension in Flooring

It's no secret that we love working in historical homes. Preserving and updating original details gives homes an elegant and elevated feeling.

Whether updating existing parquet or installing new flooring, we always think beyond pattern. Tone is just as important. The right tone can be achieved not only through stain but also by choosing different wood species. Each type of wood absorbs stain differently, creating subtle variations in warmth and depth. For example, poplar tends to reveal a natural green undertone when sanded. To balance that hue, we often recommend using a darker stain that enhances its richness and minimizes the green cast.

We often specify white oak flooring for its timeless grain and versatility, but we love to add distinction through custom details. A mahogany border strip, a classic herringbone layout, or even contrasting stain tones can define different areas within the same space. These layered design decisions give flooring dimension and personality while maintaining a cohesive overall feel.
