My client saw an image on Houzz of dark floors and lighter furnishings - I sourced all the trades that completely transformed this California bungalow into a modern yet very warm home.
I choose to have all timber work the same shade as the walls and ornate ceilings - plus my floor resurfacer - buffed and stained the timber to the rich deep contrast the client desired.
Old rugs are replaced with contemporary yet timeless rugs and custom made couches are the perfect fit - even the the two cats like the changes.
