Even in flats with cast or stone floors, we used parquet in the bedrooms, bringing warmth to the most private space of the home. We also often installed walk-in closets, with cast walls and floors. In the living rooms, we matched the walls to the hood colour, creating a uniform mood for the interiors.

We liked the Formpark parquet very much. Thanks to the flexibility of the laying patterns, you can meet very specific client requirements. At the same time, the overall impression remains simple, which is important for me. The lighting provides a unique dimension to the patterns. We played around with this effect, especially in the large rooms.

What about colours?

I often like lighter-coloured floors. In this case, however, I tried to impress the owners with dark floors. The more light there is, the more suitable a dark floor is, and Bauwerk Parkett offers very beautiful shades of wood.

Does a wooden floor really work in the bathroom, too?

Certainly, and this goes well with the trend for more cosiness in the bathroom. Smooth transitions between the bedroom and the bathroom enhance this effect. Wooden floors look gorgeous with a free-standing bath. With an open shower, you should be somewhat careful and plan the process well.

What was your cooperation with Bauwerk Parkett like?

It was great! It was handled very professionally throughout. The showroom is excellent, too. The quality is always as expected, there are no unpleasant surprises, which I highly appreciate.
