Sculpted wood flooring is currently a highly sought after wood flooring solution. Giving the notion of old age, but in a new floor, sculpted wood flooring is often hand worked to make it look like it has stood the test of time. When not hand worked, a sculpted option may be made to look old by machine.
People who are seeking sculpted wood flooring may be looking for one of three different looks for their project. It could be that they are going all-out and wanting to give their room, house or apartment an ‘aged’ look by including either antique, old or vintage furnishings or they might be seeking to create a clever shabby chic look that is wonderfully set off by sculpted wood flooring. Alternatively, they may well be planning to use this flooring option as a backdrop for highly modern, design or cutting edge furnishings to give the finished result a really classy feel. We’ll look at each of these three options in this article and suggest a sculpted flooring solution that might suit each situation.
If you’re planning to give your interior an all-over vintage or aged look, then sculpted wood flooring will provide the ideal backdrop. No matter whether you have highly polished antique furnishings or retro, mid-century modern furniture hailing from the 40s and 50s, a distressed or reclaimed looking wood floor will add credibility and charm to your end result.
Hand distressed wood flooring is often described as sculpted wood, as is reclaimed look flooring. Both of these options are available in solid and engineered wood options, which means that even if you want to set off your old or antique furnishings with under floor heating or pop them in a bathroom or kitchen, you can. This Natural Engineered Oak Flooring that has been Smoked, Brushed and Oiled is the perfect compromise between a truly old floor to compliment your furnishings and the convenience of the availability, price and flexibility of a new floor.
Shabby chic has been on the go for a while now, but can still be a really appealing and attractive interior style if it’s well planned. Once again, a sculpted wood floor provides the perfect stage for this look. Typically made up of muted, faded and calming tones, this design lends itself perfectly to neutral, chalky walls and a floor that is so well selected that you almost don’t notice it. Getting things to look this effortless ironically takes effort and choosing the right floor for your shabby chic furnishing is a real art.
A hand distressed flooring option again will give this style of room the boost it needs to look as if it has been around forever. This Natural Engineered Oak Flooring that has a reclaimed wood look is the perfect sculpted option for your
shabby chic room. It has a completely natural, aged look to it and it comes in a lovely muted tone, which will offset your shabby chic interior perfectly.
If you’re looking to create a room of contrasts, then a great way to achieve this is to combine aged, sculpted wood flooring with highly modern, cutting edge, designer furniture. No matter whether you’re thinking blacks, whites, greys or shocking primaries, this look can work really well. Complimented by a few well-chosen, carefully placed rugs, this is an (almost) effortless way to look like you’ve scoured all the interiors mags for inspiration.
A great flooring solution to compliment this look is this Oak Engineered Coffee solution. It not only does it have that smoky, classy look to it, it also benefits from being UV lacquered so won’t take harm from an excess of sunlight. This flooring will set off your designer investment pieces to a tee without stealing the limelight.
The other great news about each of these sculpted solutions is that they are suitable for installation throughout the home, even where temperatures and moisture levels are likely to fluctuate significantly, such as in bathrooms and kitchens. And you can even fit it over under floor heating.
